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 Mσ(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−.
