<p>Dear all, I am looking for explicit (at least more explicit than the original expression) for</p> <p>1) Re$(\Gamma(a, i\omega))$ </p> <p>as well as</p> <p>2) Im$(\Gamma(a, i\omega)),$</p> <p>where i Re and Im denote the real and imaginary part, and $\Gamma(a, i\omega)$ is the Incomplete Gamma function with the arguments $a$ and $i\omega$. The letter $i$ denotes imaginary unit, $a>0$ is a real number and $\omega$ is also a real number.</p> <p>I would presume that 1) and 2) could be written as functions of $\Gamma(a, \omega)$, however by application of change of variables in the integral definition of the Incomplete Gamma function did not succeed for me.</p> <p>Thank you in advance for any kind of input.</p>

<p>From my point of view, your definition is strange, or at least it has a contra-intuitive feature: because $x$ and $\delta$ should have the same unit (e.g. some length unit), $\delta^\alpha$ will have the unit e.g. length$^\alpha$. Then $\tilde D^a f(a)$ will have the unit "meter$^{1-\alpha}$". But maybe this is OK? Please correct me if I'm wrong.</p> <p>(This was meant as a comment and not an answer. Now that I posted this as an answer, I however after deleting it cannot post a comment... Therefore I un-delete the answer, but reader please consider it as a comment :-) )</p>

<p>I'm not sure, but maybe you could investigate the Yang local fractional derivative?</p>

<p>The fractional Riez derivative can be written as a sum of Caputo or Reimann-Liouville fractional derivatives, so maybe this could help you?</p>

Robert, your hint pointed me towards what I was looking for: the &quot;generalized sine and cosine functions.&quot; More infor can be retreived e.g. from here: <a href="http://dlmf.nist.gov/8.21" rel="nofollow">dlmf.nist.gov/8.21</a>

Thanks a lot Robert for the hint. I will explore this further after the week-end. I even suspect that the Lommel S1 function might possibly be written in terms of the Incomplete Gamma function, but this I need to look up in detail. Again thank you.
