Abstract

We discuss a number of properties of the univariate $\gamma$-order generalized normal distribution, acting also as a solution to the heat equation. More emphasis is given on the Laplace transform of the introduced distribution. Logarithm Sobolev inequalities are discussed since they are the source of the introduced $N_\gamma(\mu, \Sigma)$.
