Tempered relaxation equation and related generalized stable processes
Fractional relaxation equations, as well as relaxation functions time-changed by independent stochastic processes have been widely studied (see, for example, \cite{MAI}, \cite{STAW} and \cite{GAR}). We start here by proving that the upper-incomplete Gamma function satisfies the tempered-relaxation equation (of index $\rho \in (0,1)$); thanks to this explicit form of the solution, we can then derive its spectral distribution, which extends the stable law. Accordingly, we define a new class of selfsimilar processes (by means of the $n$-times Laplace transform of its density) which is indexed by the parameter $\rho $: in the special case where $\rho =1$, it reduces to the stable subordinator. Therefore the parameter $\rho $ can be seen as a measure of the local deviation from the temporal dependence structure displayed in the standard stable case.
