Tilak Raj Prabhakar
Tilak Raj Prabhakar was an Indian mathematician specializing in special functions and integral equations. In a paper published in 1971,[1] he introduced a three-parameter extension of the Mittag-Leffler function. Subsequently, this function was to found to have numerous applications in various areas of mathematics like fractional calculus and also in certain areas of physics. The function has since been named "Prabhakar function" in honor of the person who had introduced it.[2][3]
