Abstract.

Some physical problems found in nature can follow the power law; others can follow the Mittag-Leffler law and others the exponential decay law. On the other hand, one can observe in nature a physical problem that combines the three laws, it is therefore important to provide a new fractional operator that could possibly be used to model such physical problem. In this paper, we suggest a fractional operator power-law-exponential-Mittag-Leffler kernel with three fractional orders. Some very useful properties are obtained. Numerical solutions were obtained for three examples proposed. The results show that the new fractional operators are powerful mathematical tools to model complex problems.
