On certain generalized incomplete gamma functions

Recently, Chaudhry and Zubair have introduced a generalized incomplete gamma function Γ(v,x;z) which reduces to the incomplete gamma function Γ(v,x) when its variable z vanishes. We show that Γ(v,x;z) may be written essentially as a single Kampé de Fériet function which in turn may be expressed as a linear combination of two incomplete Weber integrals. Then by using properties of the latter integrals we deduce additional representations for Γ(v,x;z). In particular, we show that Γ(v,x;z) is essentially completely determined by a finite number of modified Bessel functions for all v ≠ 0 provided we know the values of the two incomplete Weber integrals when 0 < Re v ⩽ 1. When v = 0 we derive connections between the generalized incomplete gamma function and incomplete Lipschitz-Hankel integrals, and indicate that there exist connections with other special functions.
