The Generalized K-Wright Function and Marichev-Saigo-Maeda Fractional Operators

In this paper, the generalized fractional operators involving Appell's function $F_3$ in the kernel due to Marichev-Saigo-Maeda are applied to the generalized $K$-Wright function. These fractional operators when applied to power multipliers of the generalized $K$-Wright function ${}_{p}\Psi^k_q$ yields a higher ordered generalized $K$-Wright function, namely, ${}_{p+3}\Psi^k_{q+3}$. The Caputo-type modification of Marichev-Saigo-Maeda fractional differentiation is introduced and the corresponding assertions for Saigo and Erd\'elyi-Kober fractional operators are also presented. The results derived in this paper generalize several recent results in the theory of special functions.
