米塔-列夫勒函数

米塔-列夫勒函数(Mittag-Leffler function)是一个特殊函数，常用于分数微积分方程，定义如下

${\displaystyle E_{a,b}(z)=\sum _{k=0}^{\infty }{\frac {z^{k}}{\Gamma (ak+b)}}}$

对应 ${\displaystyle a=0,1/2,1,2}$ 有

${\displaystyle E_{0,1}(z)=\sum _{k=0}^{\infty }z^{k}={\frac {1}{1-z}}.}$

指数函数:

${\displaystyle E_{1,1}(z)=\sum _{k=0}^{\infty }{\frac {z^{k}}{\Gamma (k+1)}}=\sum _{k=0}^{\infty }{\frac {z^{k}}{k!}}=\exp(z).}$

误差函数:

${\displaystyle E_{1/2,1}(z)=\exp(z^{2})\operatorname {erfc} (-z).}$

双曲余弦:

${\displaystyle E_{2,1}(z)=\cosh({\sqrt {z}}).}$

对应 ${\displaystyle a=0,1,2}$, ：

${\displaystyle \int _{0}^{z}E_{\alpha ,1}(-s^{2}){\mathrm {d} }s}$ 有下列积分式

${\displaystyle \arctan(z)}$,

${\displaystyle {\tfrac {\sqrt {\pi }}{2}}\operatorname {erf} (z)}$,

${\displaystyle \sin(z)}$.
