Abstract
This is a survey paper describing the method of special functions for Fractional Calculus. We outline the main properties of special functions which are important for fractional analysis and fractional modeling. Main attention is paid to the functions of the Mittag-Leffler family and close to it the Wright functions.
Dedicated to Professor Heinrich G.W. Begehr on the occasion of his 80th birthday
