Mittag-Leffler function (Definition)

The Mittag-Leffler function $ E_{\alpha \beta}$ is a complex function which depends on two complex parameters $ \alpha$ and $ \beta$. It may be defined by the following series when the real part of $ \alpha$ is strictly positive:

$\displaystyle E_{\alpha \beta} (z) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty {z^k \over \Gamma (\alpha k + \beta)}$
In this case, the series converges for all values of the argument $ z$, so the Mittag-Leffler function is an entire function.
