Abstract

The object of this paper is to solve a fractional integro-differential equation involving a generalized Lauricella confluent hypergeometric function in several complex variables and the free term contains a continuous function f(τ). The method is based on certain properties of fractional calculus and the classical Laplace transform. A Cauchy-type problem involving the Caputo fractional derivatives and a generalized Volterra integral equation are also considered. Several special cases are mentioned. A number of results given recently by various authors follow as particular cases of formulas established here.
