THE Y FUNCTION APPLIED IN THE STUDY OF AN ANOMALOUS DIFFUSION

ABSTRACT
In this article, we propose a new family of the extended analogues to the Y function for the first time. The relationships among the Y function, Fox H function, Meijer G function, Wright generalized hypergeometric function, and Clausen hypergeometric function are discussed in detail. This result is used to represent the solutions for the anomalous diffusion problems.
