The modified Meijer G function is defined by the inverse Laplace transform:

where

and  L is one of three types of integration paths $L_{\mathrm{\gamma }+\mathrm{\infty }\mathrm{I}}$, $L_{\mathrm{\infty }}$, and $L_{-\mathrm{\infty }}$.

Contour $L_{\mathrm{\infty }}$ starts at $\mathrm{\infty }+\mathrm{I}\mathrm{\&phi;1}$ and finishes at $\mathrm{\infty }+\mathrm{I}\mathrm{\&phi;2}$ ($\mathrm{\&phi;1}<\mathrm{\&phi;2}$).

Contour $L_{-\mathrm{\infty }}$ starts at $-\mathrm{\infty }+\mathrm{I}\mathrm{\&phi;1}$ and finishes at $-\mathrm{\infty }+\mathrm{I}\mathrm{\&phi;2}$ ($\mathrm{\&phi;1}<\mathrm{\&phi;2}$).

Contour $L_{\mathrm{\gamma }+\mathrm{\infty }\mathrm{I}}$ starts at $\mathrm{\gamma }+-\mathrm{\infty }$ and finishes at $\mathrm{\gamma }+\mathrm{\infty }\mathrm{I}$.

All the paths $L_{\mathrm{\infty }}$, $L_{-\mathrm{\infty }}$, and $L_{\mathrm{\gamma }+\mathrm{\infty }\mathrm{I}}$ put all $\mathrm{cj}+k$ poles on the right and all other poles of the integrand (which must be of the form $\mathrm{aj}-1+k$) on the left.

The classical definition of the Meijer G function is related to the modified definition by

Note: See Prudnikov, Brychkov, and Marichev.

Three noticeable differences between the notations are:

the parameters of the modified Meijer G function are separated out into four natural groups,

${\&ExponentialE;}^{yz}$ instead of $z^y$ is placed inside the integral definition of ModifiedMeijerG, and

the pq\mn subscripts and superscripts which are now redundant are omitted.
