theory, motivated the development of the theory of special functions. This �eld also has wide applicationsin both pure mathematics and applied mathematics. Numerous extensions of special functions have beenintroduced by many authors (see [1, 2, 3, 4]).
Agarwal et al. [5] proved new di�erential equations for the extended Mittag-Le�er function by usingSaigo-Maeda fractional di�erential operators. Mdallal et al. [6] also worked on the di�erential equationsof fractional order with variables coe�cients. They found the eigenvalues by applying associated boundaryconditions. Also, they present the eigenfunctions in the form of Mittag-Le�er functions. Babakhani et al.
[7] used thye �xed point theorems to �nd the existence of positive solutions for a non-autonomous fractionaldi�erential equation with integral boundary conditions. They also presented some examples related todi�erential equations. Jarad et al. [8] investigated the modi�ed Laplace transform and related properties.They used these results to �nd the solution of some ordinary di�erential equations of a certain type generalizedfractional derivatives.
Diaz et al. [9, 10, 11] have introduced gamma and beta k-functions and proved a number of theirproperties. They have also studied zeta k-functions and hypergeometric k-functions based on Pochhammerk-symbols for factorial functions. In [12, 13, 14, 15], the researchers studied the generalized gamma k-function and proposed its various properties. Later on, Mubeen and Habibullah [32] proposed the so-calledk-fractional integral based on gamma k-function and its applications. In [33], Mubeen and Habibullahde�ned the integral representation of generalized con�uent hypergeometric k-functions and hypergeometrick-functions by utilizing the properties of Pochhammer k-symbols, k-gamma, and k-beta functions. In [34],Mubeen et al. proposed the following second order linear di�erential equation for hypergergeometric k-functions as
kω(1− kx)ω′′ + [γ − (α+ β + k) kx]ω′ − αβω = 0.
The solution in the form of the so-called k-hypergeometric series of k-hypergeometric di�erential equation byutilizing the Frobenius method can be found in the work of Mubeen et al. [35, 36]. Recently, Li and Dong[37] investigated the hypergeometric series solutions for the second order non-homogeneous k-hypergeometricdi�erential equation with the polynomial term. Rahman et al. [38, 39] proposed the generalization of Wrighttype hypergeometric k-functions and derived its various basic properties.
Qi and Wang [40] worked on Young's integral Inequalities and discussed its geometric interpretation. Ad-jimi and Benbachir [41] worked on Katugampola fractional di�erential equation with Erdelyi-Kober integralboundary conditions. Furthermore, Mubeen and Iqbal [16] investigated the generalized version of Grüss-typeinequalities by considering k-fractional integrals. Agarwal et al. [18] established certain Hermite-Hadamardtype inequalities involving k-fractional integrals. Set et al. [27] proposed generalized Hermiteâ��Hadamardtype inequalities for Riemannâ��Liouville k-fractional integral. Östrowski type k-fractional integral inequali-ties can be found in the work of Mubeen et al. [17]. Many researchers have established further the generalizedversions of Riemann-Liouville k-fractional integrals, and de�ned a large number of various inequalities byusing di�erent kind of generalized fractional integrals. The interesting readers may consult [19, 31, 25, 20].The Hadamard k-fractional integrals can be found in the work of Farid et al. [21]. In [23] Farid proposedthe idea of Hadamard-type inequalities for k-fractional Riemann-Liouville integrals. In [24, 22], the authorshave introduced the inequalities by employing Hadamard-type inequalities for k-fractional integrals. Nisaret al. [28] investigated Gronwall type inequalities by utilizing Riemann-Liouville k-fractional derivatives andHadamard k-fractional derivatives [28]. In [28], they presented dependence solutions of certain k-fractionaldi�erential equations of arbitrary real order with initial conditions. Samraiz et al. [26] proposed Hadamardk-fractional derivative and related properties. Recently, Rahman et al. [29] de�ned generalized k-fractionalderivative operator. Jangid et al. [30] worked on the generalization of integral inequalities. By using theSaigo k-fractional integral operators, they found some new inequalities for the Chebyshev functional for twosynchronous functions.

By getting motivation from Diaz and other researchers working on the generalization and extensions ofthe special functions, we get the idea to obtain the more generalized and extended form of special functions.The structure of the paper is organized as follows:In Section 2, we study the generalized Pochhammer's symbol, gamma function and beta function in termsof (s, k). Also, some basic properties are presented. In Section 3, generalized hypergeometric functions,di�erential equation for hypergeometric function and their associated properties are discussed. In Section 4,concluding remarks are given.
2. Main Results
In this section, we introduce generalized Pochhammer's symbol and its various associated properties.Also, generalization of gamma and beta functions and their associated properties are presented.
De�nition 2.1. The generalized Pochhammer's symbol in term of (s, k) is de�ned as
s(α)kn = α(α+ (s/k)) · · · (α+ ((n− 1)s/k)), α ∈ C,s, k ∈ R+, n ∈ N, s > k > 0. (1)
s(b)knm = 2mn s( bm)kns( bk+s
mk )kn · · · s(bk+(m−1)s
mk )kn
Just as for the usual Γ, the function sΓk admits an in�nite product expression given by
1sΓk(z)
= z(s/k)−(kz)/se(kzγ)/s∞∏n=1
[(1 +
kz
ns
)exp
(− kz
ns
)], (2)
where γ is Euler-Mascheroni constant, de�ned by
γ = limn→∞
(Hn − log(n)) ≈ 0.57721566490,
where Hn =n∑
m=1
1m .
Lemma 2.2. For all z, the Euler product is given as
sΓk(z) =1
z(s/k)−kzs
∞∏n=1
[(n+ 1
n
) kzs(
1 +kz
sn
)−1]. (3)
Proof. Using equation (2), we have
1sΓk(z)
= z(s/k)−−kzs e
kγzs
∞∏n=1
[(1 +

(−kzns

z(s/k)−kzssΓk(z) = e−
kγzs lim
n→∞
n∏m=1
[(1 +

exp
(kz

Sinceγ = lim
n→∞
[Hn − log(n+ 1)
]. (5)
Therefore equation (5) becomes
γ = limn→∞
[Hn −
n∑m=1
log
(m+ 1
m
)]. (6)
Shahid Mubeen, et al., Adv. Theory Nonlinear Anal. Appl. 1 (2022), 45�65. 48
Multiply the whole equation (6) by −kzs , we obtain
−kzγs
= limn→∞
[− kz
sHn +
n∑m=1
log
(m+ 1
m
) kzs].
By taking exponential, we get
e−kzγs = lim
n→∞
[exp
(− kz
sHn
)exp
n∑m=1
log
(m+ 1
m
) kzs]. (7)
Since Hn =n∑
m=1
1m , put in equation (7), we have
e−kzγs = lim
n→∞
[exp
(− kz

= limn→∞
[exp
( n∑m=1

n∑m=1

(m+ 1

And so
e−kzγs = lim
n→∞exp
( n∑m=1

(exp

m

)
e−kzγs = lim

This implies that
sΓk(z) =1
z(s/k)−kzs
∞∏n=1

Lemma 2.3. For all �nite z, the di�erence equation is given below
sΓk(z + (s/k)) = z sΓk(z). (9)
Proof. Using equation (3), we have
sΓk(z + (s/k))sΓk(z)
=

ThereforesΓk(z + (s/k)) = z sΓk(z).

De�nition 2.4. The Gamma (s, k)-function is de�ned as
sΓk(z) = limn→∞
n!sn(nsk )kzs
kn s(z)kn, z ∈ C− kZ, (10)
s, k ∈ R+, s > k > 0, <(z) > 0. (11)
Lemma 2.5. For z ∈ C, <(z) > 0, we have
sΓk(z) =
∞∫0

Lemma 2.8. If Re(p) > 0 and Re(q) > 0, then
sβk(p, q) =sΓk(p) sΓk(q)sΓk(p+ q)
. (16)
Proof. Using equation (12), We have

Shahid Mubeen, et al., Adv. Theory Nonlinear Anal. Appl. 1 (2022), 45�65. 51
In equation (17), use u = x2 and v = y2. Thus du = 2xdx and dv = 2ydy.Now if u→ 0, then x→ 0. If v → 0, then y → 0. If u→∞, then x→∞. If v →∞, then y →∞. We have
sΓk(p) sΓk(q) =

Let x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ and r2 = x2 + y2, where 0 < r < ∞ and 0 < θ < π2 , and dxdy = rdrdθ. Put in
the equation (18), we have

Put the following in equation (19)

2rdr = dt dθ = −dφ,
as r → 0, t→ 0 and as r →∞, t→∞. Also if θ = 0, then φ = π2 and if θ = π

By using equation (12) and equation (15) we have

3. Generalized hypergeometric functions and their properties
In this section, a new generalization of hypergeometric functions are introduced with the help of newgeneralized Pochhammer's symbol (1). We also introduce the generalized hypergeometric di�erential equa-tions and derive that the new generalized hypergeometric function is the solutions of the said di�erentialequations. Certain basic properties are also presented.

after a little simpli�cation, we get
sz(k − sz)ω′′ + [k2c− (ak + bk + s)sz]ω′ − abk2ω = 0.

skn(n+ 1)dn+1 − sn(n− 1)dn + k2c(n+ 1)dn+1 − [abk2 + (ak + bk + s)s]dn = 0.
Therefore
dn+1 =sn(n− 1) + [abk2 + (ak + bk + s)s]
skn(n+ 1) + k2c(n+ 1)dn

4. Conclusions
In this paper, we have de�ned the certain generalized special functions in terms of a new symbol (s, k),where s, k > 0 and called them special (s, k)-functions. We developed di�erential equation for hypergeometric(s, k)-functions in the form of (s, k) and their integral representations. Furthermore, we have obtained someuseful results and properties related to these special (s, k)-functions. If we take s = 1, then the obtainedresults are reduced to the special k-functions cited in literature. Similarly if we letting k = 1 in all de�nitionsand results, then certain new results in term of s can be obtained. If we letting both s = k = 1, then all theresults will reduce to the classical results.
