Bagley-Torvik equation appears in viscoelasticity problems where fractional derivatives seem to play an important role concerningempirical dataThere are several works treating this equation by using numerical methods and analytic formulations However theanalytical solutions presented in the literature consider particular cases of boundary and initial conditions with inhomogeneoustermoften expressed in polynomial formHere by using Laplace transformmethodology the general inhomogeneous case is solvedwithout restrictions in boundary and initial conditions The generalized Mittag-Leffler functions with three parameters are usedand the solutions presented are expressed in terms of Wimanrsquos functions and their derivatives
1 Introduction
Bagley-Torvik equations (BTE) firstly appeared in their sem-inal work [1] where they proposed to model viscoelasticbehavior of geological strata metals and glasses by usingfractional differential equations showing that this approachis effective in describing structures containing elastic andviscoelastic components
Initially in [2] inhomogeneous BTE was studied withan analytical solution being proposed Since then therewere several works to solve BTE starting with numericalprocedures for a reformulated BTE as a system of functionaldifferential equations of order 12 [3ndash5]
Following a numerical way for solving BTE a general-ization of Taylorrsquos and Besselrsquos collocation method [6 7] andthe use of evolutionary computation [8] provided acceptablesolutions from engineering point of view
Approximation techniques were successfully applied toBTE mainly by using enhanced homotopic perturbationmethods [9 10] fractional iteration techniques [11] and cubicpolynomial spline functions [12]
Analytical exact solutions for BTE were obtained in [13]for the particular initial condition 119906(0) = 1199061015840(0) = 0 con-sidering the boundary condition given by 119906(0) = 119906(1) = 1Besides by using a modified generalized Laguerre spectral
method for fractional differential equations BTE was solvedin [14] for some specific conditions
The aim of this work is to provide an analytical solutionfor the most generic case of inhomogeneous BTE in termsof the derivatives of Wimanrsquos functions [2] considering thatthree-parameter generalized Mittag-Leffler function intro-duced in [15] can be better explored
The approach presented here consists of using the Laplacetransform of Prabhakarrsquos function in order to solve the mostgeneral BTE carrying out a subsequent transformation of theachieved solution in terms of the Mittag-Leffler functions
In the next section the BTE solution by using the referredto method is presented followed by a section with the solu-tion expressed by using Wimanrsquos functions and their deriva-tives motivated by the fact that Wimanrsquos functions can beimplemented in computational software like119872119886119905ℎ119890119898119886119905119894119888119886copyeasing the solution of BTE in practical applications

which by using operational notation can be expressed as
[119860D2+ 119861D
32+ 119862] 119906 (119909) = 120601 (119909) (2)
Here the domain of 120601(119909) is considered to be thetime consequently it is assumed that 119905 isin [0infin) TheRiemann-Liouville fractional integral is adopted and there-fore Caputorsquos fractional derivative 119888119863]
0can be simply denoted
byD [16 17]The method to be used to solve BTE is the traditional
Laplace transform that due to the fractional nature of theexponents results from Prabhakar functions that is three-parameter Mittag-Leffler generalized functions [2 15]
Considering Caputorsquos fractional derivative [18] theLaplace transform of the fractional exponent term is
L D32119906 (119909) = 119904
32119880 (119904) minus 119904
12119906 (0) minus 119904

implying that the Laplace transform of the BTE is written as
119880 (119904) (1198601199042+ 11986111990432+ 119862)

with (120583)119896= Γ(120583 + 119896)Γ(120583) being the Pochhammer symbol
When 120574 = 1 these functions are called Wimanrsquos functionsHere the main fact to be used is related to the inverse of
the Laplace transform of the main terms that appear in (7)given by

4 Conclusion
A general analytical solution of BTE defined by Caputorsquosfractional derivatives was obtained in terms of Wimanrsquosfunctions and their derivativesThe reasoning was conductedby using Laplace transform and Mittag-Leffler functions
The final expression permits the calculations in practicalcases as it is built consideringWimanrsquos functions that are partof the most usual numerical packages

4 Conclusion
A general analytical solution of BTE defined by Caputorsquosfractional derivatives was obtained in terms of Wimanrsquosfunctions and their derivativesThe reasoning was conductedby using Laplace transform and Mittag-Leffler functions
The final expression permits the calculations in practicalcases as it is built consideringWimanrsquos functions that are partof the most usual numerical packages

4 Conclusion
A general analytical solution of BTE defined by Caputorsquosfractional derivatives was obtained in terms of Wimanrsquosfunctions and their derivativesThe reasoning was conductedby using Laplace transform and Mittag-Leffler functions
The final expression permits the calculations in practicalcases as it is built consideringWimanrsquos functions that are partof the most usual numerical packages
