1 Introduction
During the last decades white noise analysis has evolved into an infinite dimensional distribution theory, with rapid developments in mathematical structure and applications in various domains, see e.g. the monographs [15, 30, 26, 16]. Various characterization theorems [32, 23, 13] are proven to build up a strong analytical foundation. Fractional Brownian motion, with its specific properties, such as short/long range dependence and self-similarity, with natural applications in different fields (e.g. mathematical finance, telecommunications engineering, etc.), has a very natural representation in white noise theory, see [18, 28].
From the end of the Eighties and in the Ninties, these methods were generalized to a non-Gaussian infinite dimensional analysis, by transferring properties of the Gaussian measure to e.g. the Poisson measure [17, 25, 19], and other measures [35, 1, 24].
Almost at the same time, the subject of fractional calculus and its applications (like Riemann-Liouville integral and Caputo fractional derivatives) has gained considerable popularity and importance mainly due to its applications in diverse fields of science and engineering (e.g. [34], [3]) and also fractional stochastic differential equations driven by white noise, see [14]. These operators and their generalizations have been used to model problems with anomalous dynamics in different settings (e.g. [37], [4], [9] and [2]).
By investigating the time-fractional heat equation, i.e. where the time derivative is a Caputo derivative of fractional order, Schneider introduced the notion of grey Brownian motion. The link between grey Brownian motion and fractional differential equations were also studied later by [29] and [31].
The generalized grey brownian motion and the Non-Gaussian framework in infinite dimensional analysis to which it belongs, i.e. Mittag-Leffler Analysis, were founded in [11] and [12].
In these papers, the authors define the spaces of test functions and distributions in Mittag-Leffler analysis and also they develop the principal tools proper to the field of infinite dimensional calculus, characterization theorems and integral transforms.
In this article, we prove the existence of test functions and distributions spaces for the Gamma grey measure and we establish the characterization theorems and tools for the analysis of the corresponding distribution spaces, Section 2. Moreover, we give explicit examples of the use of this characterization on Donsker’s delta function, Noise distribution and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, respectively in Section 3, 4 and 5.
2 The Gamma grey noise and its calculus
By the results in [6], we know that the Upper Incomplete Gamma function is the Laplace transform of f_{\rho}(y)=\mathbbm{1}_{(1,\infty)}(y)G^{0,1}_{1,1}\big{[}y\big{|}^{\rho}_{1}\big{]}, for , where is the Meijer G-function, see e.g. the appendix in [6] for the special definition in the particular case. We use the translator operator and the properties of Laplace transform and its inverse transform (hereinafter denoted by and , respectively), such that
[TABLE]
for and .
In [6], the authors studied the case of Gamma-Grey space and showed that the Gamma Grey measure satisfy the following properties:
- P1
For and , has an analytic Laplace transform in a neighborhood of zero :
[TABLE] 2. P2
For and , for any non-empty open subset .
where , and .
Remark 1*.*
The upper Incomplete Gamma function can be represented also by the Mellin-Barnes integral as follows:
[TABLE]
for , see Equation (2.10) in [5].
By Theorem 1.3 in [22], the above -function has a series representation on . For , we have that .
So that the the Laplace transform is well-defined for all .
Remark 2*.*
Let , and , then the function
[TABLE]
is analytic for . If , then Equation (2) holds for .
Using the identity theorem for analytic functions, we extend the function
[TABLE]
from to , such that that we obtain the following lemma.
Lemma 2.1**.**
Let , and , then the exponential function
[TABLE]
is integrable and
[TABLE]
In particular, for , we have that
[TABLE]
We have that Appell System exists for the Gamma Grey measure, see [6]. By Lemma 4.12, Sec. 5 and Sec. 6 in [24], the test function space, i.e. , and the distribution space, i.e. , exist, and we have:
[TABLE]
endowed with the dual pairing between and which is the bilinear extension of the inner product of .
We define the -transform by means of the normalized exponential :
[TABLE]
Remark 3*.*
The holomorphy of in and , can be obtained by considering an such that for each , and such that . By the embedding property of the nuclear spaces, we have that there exists such that . Hence, we define , thus the normalized exponential is a test function of finite order and we can introduce the S-transform, see Example 6 and Section 7 in [24].
The properties (P1) and (P2) and the previous remark allow us to state the following theorem, which is a special case of Thm 8.34 in [24].
Theorem 2.2**.**
The -transform is a topological isomorphism from to .
The above characterization theorem leads directly to two corollaries for integrals of elements in in a weak sense and the convergence of sequences in .

with , which is positive for each and .
Hence, we can apply Bernstein theorem on for each on the line below denoted by , see [36].
We have that:
[TABLE]
where in the last inequality we use the fact that for ∎
Indeed we have
[TABLE]
by Cauchy-Schwartz inequality.
The following representation holds for the Donsker’s Delta in the space as a weak integral in the sense of the Theorem 2.3:
[TABLE]
Remark 5*.*
In view of Theorem 2.3, we choose as measurable space and for some . The first assumption holds for the composition of measurable functions and the second one holds for Lemma 3.1.
Moreover, we note that the S-transform and the T-transform differs for a constant on the complexification space.

By Lemma 3.1, we have that for , and , we have
[TABLE]
where we use Theorem 2.3 in the line denoted by , use Equation 2.19 in [27] in , use 1 of 2.1.3 in [33] in and is the Tricomi confluent hypergeometric function, denote , by Cauchy-Schwartz inequality.
∎

We use the analyticity of the function for in order to represent as a series.
[TABLE]
where we use 1 of 2.1.3 in [33] in and is the Tricomi confluent hypergeometric function, and .
For we have that
[TABLE]
For , we can represent the expectation of Donsker’s Delta as:
[TABLE]
where is the density of a centered Gaussian r.v. with variance and is a non negative random variable with density . ∎
Remark 6*.*
We have that for , the expectation of the Donsker’s Delta on coincides with the one in the White Noise case.
Indeed, for , we have that (see Equation 13.6.3 in [10]) and .
4 Grey Incomplete Gamma Noise
In order to present the Gamma Grey Brownian Motion, we introduce the fractional operator defined, for any , as
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
is the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative and
[TABLE]
is the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral, see [11].
In a similar way, we define the fractional operator , which is defined by means of the lower Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative and the lower Riemann-Liouville fractional integral.
The tempered -grey Brownian motion (hereafter -GBM) is defined as for and a.e.- where , and .
Thus, for , we can apply the -transform on it and obtain
[TABLE]
where we can exchange the integral and the derivative due fact that the integral in line (7) is finite due to Cauchy-Schwartz inequality, -GBM is in and the Laplace transform (2) is finite for .
We have that , such that
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
thus
[TABLE]
Hence, we get
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Note that for , , see (5.17) in [34].
Now we establish that the -GBM is the differentiable in and the existence of its noise in is guaranteed applying Theorem 2.4.
Theorem 4.1**.**
Let , and . We define the Grey Incomplete Gamma Noise in as,

We apply the -transform for
[TABLE]
By the fact that
[TABLE]
and that for
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
we note that . So we have,
[TABLE]
Thus, \{S_{\nu_{\rho,\theta}}\big{(}\mathscr{N}_{t,n}\big{)}(\xi)\}_{n} is a Cauchy sequence for each .
By the fact that S_{\nu_{\rho,\theta}}\big{(}\mathscr{N}_{t,n}\big{)}(\xi) is holomorphic on and it is finite for each , we can apply Theorem 2.4 for the convergence of to . ∎
5 Grey Incomplete Gamma Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process
We now compute the solution of Langevin Equation driven by Gamma Grey Brownian motion:
[TABLE]
where , and .
We consider the weak integral form of Equation (11):
[TABLE]
and we solve it applying the S-transform for and using Equation (10):
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
By Theorem 2.2, we have that x(s):=S_{\nu_{\rho,\theta}}\Big{(}X^{\alpha,\rho,\theta}(s)\Big{)}(\xi) is an holomorphic function, so we can differentiate it:
[TABLE]
and solve it:
[TABLE]
where we used the linearity of inner product and changing the order of integration in and
[TABLE]
By considering that S_{\nu_{\rho,\theta}}\Big{(}\langle\cdot,f\rangle\Big{)}(\xi)=\langle\xi,f\rangle for and that we can express as the limit of functions in Schwartz for density, we can invert the S-transform and we get:
[TABLE]
