Abstract
In \tccheck{1997}, Haruki and Rassias introduced two generalizations of the Poisson kernel in two dimensions and discussed integral formulas for them. Furthermore, they presented an open problem. In \tccheck{1999}, Kim gave a solution to that problem. Here, we give a solution to this open problem by means of a different method. The purpose of this paper is to give integral averages of two generalizations of the Poisson kernel, that is, we generalize the open problem.
1. Introduction
It is well known that the Poisson kernel in two dimensions is defined byand the integral formulaholds. Here is a real parameter satisfying .
In [1], Haruki and Rassias introduced two generalizations of the Poisson kernel.
The first generalization is defined bywhere , are complex parameters satisfying and .
The second generalization is defined bywhere , , , are complex parameters satisfying , , , and as well as
Then they proved the integral formulas
Remark 1.1. If
we set and in (1.7), then we
obtain
Afterwards, they set the following definition and open
problem.
For , letwhere , are complex
parameters satisfying and .

In [2], Kim gave a solution to this open problem using the
Laurent series expansion.
In the next section, we give a solution to the open problem by means of the Leibniz rule.
2. A Different Solution of the Open Problem
Theorem 2.1.
It holds that
where is defined by (1.9).
Proof. We
haveBy the change of variables and
settingwe havewhere the complex integral of the
function along the unit
circle is in the
positive direction.
Since is an analytic
function in , by Cauchy's integral formula for the derivative, we
obtainSo we must calculate . For this purpose, we will use the Leibniz rule
(generalized product rule).
LetThus by (2.3) and (2.6), we
haveApplying the Leibniz rule to
(2.7), we
get whereIf we take in (2.8), we
obtainThus by (2.5) and (2.10), we get the
desired result.
3. New Generalizations of the Open Problem
In [3], the authors gave the values of the integralfor all real .
In this section, we will generalize , and hence above integral as follows.
Theorem 3.1 Main theorem. For any real number , it holds that where is the usual hypergeometric function.Proof. Let be any real number. Define the shifted factorial (or the Pochhammer symbol) bywhere is the gamma function. If is a nonpositive integer, define so that for Then For , one computes thatThe integral of the terms with is by residue theorem, and thuswhere is the usual hypergeometric function.
It is routine to check thatas obtained in [1] because, then, the series above is summable via elementary functions. Also for , one has
Moreover, setting generalizes the results of [3] to all real powers of the Poisson kernel.
The same method applied to the integral averages of the second generalization of the Poisson kernel yields
There is a further connection with the fractional-order derivative in [3] which is called here for any real number . If is also any real number, let be the least integer greater than or equal to . Then one can compute with thatwhich agrees with the usual derivative when is a positive integer, where B is the beta function, , and
If , thenby successively applying the above fractional differentiation formula. Thus
