TY - JOUR TI - A new generalization of the y-function applied to model the anomalous diffusion AU - Yang Xiao-Jun AU - Yu Xiao-Jin JN - Thermal Science PY - 2022 VL - 26 IS - 2 SP - 1069 EP - 1079 PT - Article AB - In this paper, we propose the W-, K-, τ-, U-, V-, and O-functions for the first time. The K series representations for the W-, τ-, U-, V-, and O-functions are discussed. The derivatives, and integral transforms and special cases for the obtained special functions are presented. The anomalous diffusion models via derivative operators associated with the τ- and L-functions are suggested. The obtained results are used to give the series representations for the I-, H-, and G-functions.
