Abstract
We derived the Lambert’s law for incomplete H-functions(IHF’s). The IHF’s are very
general in nature, so the results of the present work are very useful in derivation of several
new and known results having applications in science and engineering. Further, we point out
some new particular cases by giving specific values to the parameters in IHF’s (incomplete
Fox Wright functions, incomplete generalized hypergeometric functions, Fox’s H-Function
and Fox Wright functions) and also indicated some known results.

Subject Classification:  (2010) 33C60; 33B15;33D15;33D70.

Keywords: Incomplete H-functions, Gamma Function, Fox Wright function, Mellin-Barnes type
integrals.

1. Introduction
The Lambert’s law is very helpful in the study of chemical analysis
measurements and in understanding attenuation in physical optics, for
photons, neutrons, or rarefied gases (see, recent papers [1-5, 7, 9-11]).
In the present article, we apply the concept of incomplete H-functions
in determining the Lambert’s law. We call back here incomplete Gamma
functions G(t, n) and g (t, n) as given below:
ν
γ (τ ,ν ) : ∫t e dt (ℜ(τ ) > 0; ν  0) (1.1)
τ −1 − t
=
0

and
∞
Γ(τ ,ν ) : ∫t e dt (ν  0; ℜ(τ ) >=
0 when ν 0), (1.2)
τ −1 − t
=
ν

The IGF’s G(t, n) and g (t, n) are holding the subsequent decomposition
relation
Γ(τ ,ν ) + γ (τ ,ν ) =Γ(τ ) (ℜ(τ ) > 0). (1.3)

The condition that we have employed on the parameter n in and any

place of the present study is unrestrained of ℜ( z)( z ∈ ).
IHF is an extension of well known H-function and IHF’s γ pm, q, n ( z) and
Γ p , q ( z) are investigated accordingly Srivastava et al. [17, Eqs. (2.1)-(2.4)]

Saxena [12] and Mathai et al. [13].

indicated below:

(i) Putting y = 0 in (1.4), IHF Γ p , q ( z) deduce to the Fox’s H–function

(ii) The IHF’s (1.4) and (1.5) reduces to incomplete Fox-Wright functions
p
Ψ (qΓ ) and p Ψ (qγ ) (see for more information, [17, P. 132, Eq. (6.3) and
(6.4)], also see, [6]) by taking suitable parameters:

2.  Main Results

In this section, we present Lambert’s law for the IHF’s (1.4) and (1.5).

Theorem 1 : If W be the intensity of incident light of wave length l, t be the

thickness of the medium, W > W1 , t > t1 , v is proportional constant and y ≥ 0
then the following law is hold:
 (e1 , E1 , y ),(1 − W , W1 ),(e j , Ej )2, p   (e1 , E1 , y ),(e j , Ej )2, p 
∫Γ z  dz =TΓ mp ,,qn  z


 ( f j , Fj )1, q ,(−W , W1 )   ( f j , Fj )1, q 
 (e1 , E1 , y ),(e j , Ej )2, p ,(t , t1 ), 
− vΓ mp ++1,1,qn+1  z  (2.1)
 (1 + t , t1 ),( f j , Fj )1, q 

IHF Γ mp ,,qn ( z) is satisfied the conditions which was given in (1.4).

Proof : Let W be the intensity of incident light of wave length l, t be the

thickness of the medium, then the Lambert’s law is defined mathematically
as follows
dW
= − vW
dt
Now, Integrating on the both sides, we have
dW
∫ W
= −vt + T

which can be expressed as follows

Γ(W ) Γ(t + 1)
∫ Γ(1 + W ) dW = −v
Γ(t)
+T

where T is a integral constant.

Further, W is replace by W − W1 s (intensity of light will decrease), t is
replace by t + t1 s (thickness of medium will increase) and multiplying both
1
sides by 2π i f ( s, y )z − s , then integrating with respect to s in the direction
of contour (L : γ − i∞ to γ + i∞) and with the aid of (1.4) we achieve the
desired result. 

Theorem 2 : If W be the intensity of incident light of wave length l, t be the

thickness of the medium, W > W1 , t > t1 , v is proportional constant and y ≥ 0
then the following law is hold:
 (e1 , E1 , y ),(1 − W , W1 ),(e j , Ej )2, p   (e1 , E1 , y ),(e j , Ej )2, p 
∫ γ p+1,q+1  z  dz = Tγ pm, q, n  z

 ( f j , Fj )1, q ,(−W , W1 )   ( f j , Fj )1, q 
 (e1 , E1 , y ),(e j , Ej )2, p ,(t , t1 ), 
− vγ pm++1,1,qn+ 1  z  (2.2)
 (1 + t , t1 ),( f j , Fj )1, q 

IHF γ p , q ( z) is satisfied the conditions which was given in (1.5). 

m,n

Proof : The assertion (2.2) of the Theorem 2 can be established by the same
lines of Theorem 1.

3.  Special Cases

In the present part, we pointed out several useful and interesting

particular cases of our key findings(Theorem 1 and Theorem 2):
(i) Setting y = 0 in (2.1), then IHF reduces to the Fox’s H-function with
the help of (1.6), we get a known result obtained by Srivastva [14].
(Γ)
(ii) We reduce IHF’s into incomplete Fox-Wright functions p Ψ q and
p
Ψ (qγ ) with the help of (1.7) and (1.8) in assertion (2.1) and (2.2),
then we obtained the Lambert’s Law for the incomplete Fox-Wright
functions.
(iii) Again, we reduce IHF’s into Fox-Wright function p Ψ q with the aid
of (1.9), we get the Lambert’s Law for the Fox-Wright function.
(iv) 
Further, we reduces IHF’s into incomplete generalized
hypergeometric functions p g q and p G q with the help of (1.10) and
(1.11), we get the Lambert’s Law for the incomplete generalized
hypergeometric function.

4. Conclusions
We presented Lambert’s law for IHF’s. Further, we point out some
new particular results by giving some specific values the parameters
inf IHF’s (incomplete Fox Wright functions, incomplete generalized
hypergeometric functions, Fox’s H-Function and Fox Wright functions)
and also indicated some results available in the literature. The outcomes of
the this work are very helpful and can he utilized in the study of chemical
analysis measurements.
