Abstract

The asymptotic expansions of the Wright functions of the second kind, introduced by Mainardi [see Appendix F of his book Fractional Calculus and Waves in Linear Viscoelasticity (2010)],

Fσ(x)=◀∑▶,Mσ(x)=∞∑n=0(−x)n/n!Γ(−nσ+1−σ) (0<σ<1)

for x → ± ∞ are presented. The situation corresponding to the limit σ → 1⁻ is considered, where M_σ(x) approaches the Dirac delta function δ(x − 1). Numerical results are given to demonstrate the accuracy of the expansions derived in the paper, together with graphical illustrations that reveal the transition to a Dirac delta function as σ → 1⁻.
