Abstract Motivated by the recent work of the second author (Özarslan in Appl. Math. Comput. 229:350-358, 2014), we present, in this paper, some fractional calculus formulas for a mild generalization of the multivariable Mittag-Leffler function, a Schläfli’s type contour integral representation, some multilinear and mixed multilateral generating functions; and, finally, we consider a singular integral equation with the function (γ ),(1) E(ρrr ),λ (x1 , . . . , xr ) in the kernel and we provide its solution. MSC: 26A33; 33E12 Keywords: fractional integrals and derivatives; Mittag-Leffler function; contour integral representation; generating functions; singular integral equation; Laplace transform

1 Introduction The celebrated Mittag-Leffler function [, ] is defined by

Eα (z) = 

∞  k=

zk (αk + )

(.)

 α ∈ C; (α) > ; z ∈ C ,

where C denotes the set of complex numbers. The Mittag-Leffler function arises naturally in the solution of fractional integral equations []. A generalization of the Mittag-Leffler function Eα (z) has been investigated by Wiman []. He studied the following function:

Eα,β (z) = 

∞  k=

zk (αk + β)

(.)

 α, β ∈ C; (α) > ; (β) > ; z ∈ C .

Other generalizations of the Mittag-Leffler functions were given in [, ]. Let us recall the one given by Srivastava and Tomovski []: ©2014 Gaboury and Özarslan; licensee Springer.

where N denotes the set of positive integers. Multivariable analog of the Mittag-Leffler function has been introduced and investigated by Saxena et al. [, p., Eq. (.)] in the following form: (γ )

This function is, in fact, a special case of the generalized Lauricella series in several variables, introduced by Srivastav
