In a previous article, first and last researchers introduced an extension of the hypergeometric functions which is called
“(p, k)-extended hypergeometric functions.” Motivated by this work, here, we derive several novel properties for these functions,
including integral representations, derivative formula, k-Beta transform, Laplace and inverse Laplace transforms, and operators of
fractional calculus. Relevant connections of some of the discussed results here with those presented in earlier references
are outlined.
1.Introduction
Recently, various extensions of the hypergeometric func-
tions have been presented and investigated (see, for example,
[1–7]).
In particular, Diaz and Pariguan [8] introduced inter-
esting generalizations of the gamma, beta, Pochhammer, and
hypergeometric functions as follows.
Definition 1. For k ∈ R
+
, the k-gamma function Γ
k
(w) is
defined by

We note that Γ
k
(w) ⟶Γ(w), for k ⟶ 1, where Γ(w)
is the classical Euler’s gamma function and (w)
m,k
is the
k-Pochhammer symbol given by
