Zero-free conjecture for the Mittag-Leffler function on the imaginary axis
Zero-free conjecture for the Mittag-Leffler function on the imaginary axis
Let . The Mittag-Leffler function is defined by its standard power series, and the imaginary axis is the set . Zero-free conjecture. The function has no zeros on the imaginary axis, namely
for all . This would extend the known result for and would imply well-posedness of the corresponding backward fractional Schrödinger problem for all when and ; the claim is motivated by numerical experiments and remains open.
