Generalized Volterra functions, its integral representations and applications to the Mathieu-type series.

Abstract In this paper we introduce the new class of generalized Volterra functions. We prove some integral representations for them via Fox–Wright H-functions and Meijer G-functions. From positivity conditions on the weight in these representations, we found sufficient conditions on parameters of the generalized Volterra function to prove its complete monotonicity. As applications, a Turán type inequality for generalized Volterra functions is derived, infinite integral of some special functions are expressed in terms of the generalized Volterra functions and closed-form integral representations for a family of convergent Mathieu-type series defined in terms of generalized Volterra functions are established.
