Abstract: Fractional calculus has drawn more attentions of mathematicians and engineers in recent years. A lot of new fractional operators were used to handle various practical problems. In this article, we mainly study four new fractional operators, namely the Caputo-Fabrizio operator, the Atangana-Baleanu operator, the Sun-Hao-Zhang-Baleanu operator and the generalized Caputo type operator under the frame of the $k$-Prabhakar fractional integral operator. Usually, the theory of the $k$-Prabhakar fractional integral is regarded as a much broader than classical fractional operator. Here, we firstly give a series expansion of the $k$-Prabhakar fractional integral by means of the $k$-Riemann-Liouville integral. Then, a connection between the $k$-Prabhakar fractional integral and the four new fractional operators of the above mentioned was shown, respectively. In terms of the above analysis, we can obtain this a basic fact that it only needs to consider the $k$-Prabhakar fractional integral to cover these results from the four new fractional operators.

Key words: $k$-Prabhakar fractional operator, Caputo-Fabrizio operator, Atangana-Baleanu operator, Sun-Hao-Zhang-Baleanu operator, generalized Caputo type operator
