ABSTRACT: In this paper, the relationship between 3-parameter Mittag-Leffler function and Legendre
polynomial is investigated. The determination of orthogonality of some special cases of 3-parameter Mittag-
Leffler also is presented by using some properties Legendre polynomial and its generating function.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Mittag–Leffler function was introduced by Gustaf Mittag-Leffler in 1903[1,2]. The fundamental
Mittag-Leffler function is a generalization of the expansion of the exponential function [3], it is important
function and it has many applications in physics, engineering, biological fields and in another sciences[4-16].
The basic Mittag-Leffler function is defined as
A 2-parameter is generalization of
and it is defined as
and 3-parameter is generalization of
and it is defined by
All these functions are very important in fractional calculus and mathematical methods, they have relations with
some special functions, some of these relations are discussed in this paper.
This paper is structured as follows: Section 2 represents the Legendre polynomials and its basic properties. In
section 3 we will show how to represent Legendre function using the 3-parameter Mittag-Leffler function
at , and
, we will use this relation to show orthogonality of some special cases 3-
parameter Mittag-Leffler function.
II. LEGENDRE POLYNOMIALS
Legendre polynomial [17,18] is defined by
where
