Mittag-Leffler Functions to Pathway Model to Tsallis Statistics

Abstract

In reaction rate theory, in input-output type models and in reaction-diffusion problems when the total derivatives are replaced by fractional derivatives the solutions are obtained in terms of Mittag-Leffler functions and their generalizations. When fractional calculus enters into the picture the solutions of these problems, usually available in terms of hypergeometric functions, G and H-functions, switch to Mittag-Leffler functions and their generalizations into Wright functions. In this paper, connections are established among generalized Mittag-Leffler functions, pathway model, Tsallis statistics, superstatisitcs and power law, and among the corresponding entropic measures.
