Abstract.

We revisit the Mittag-Leffler functions of a real variable t, with one, two and three order-parameters {αあるふぁ,βべーた,γがんま}, as far as their Laplace transform pairs and complete monotonicity properties are concerned. These functions, subjected to the requirement to be completely monotone for t > 0, are shown to be suitable models for non–Debye relaxation phenomena in dielectrics including as particular cases the classical models referred to as Cole–Cole, Davidson–Cole and Havriliak–Negami. We show 3D plots of the relaxations functions and of the corresponding spectral distributions, keeping fixed one of the three order-parameters.
