Recently, we reported an analysis of Proton structure function at small x based on Taylor approximated DGLAP equations assuming a plausible relationship between the singlet and the gluon distributions. In this paper, we report a generalised version of the previous work. A corresponding study of the suggested gluon distribution is also made. The present generalised version of the model for the structure function results in a wider x range of phenomenological validity than the earlier one. A comparison of both the models of the proton structure function and the gluon distribution is made with exact result as well as with the Froissart saturated models of Block, Durand and Mckay.

Recently, we suggested two alternative analytical models of proton structure function [Formula: see text] and gluon distribution [Formula: see text] at small [Formula: see text] [L. Machahari and D. K. Choudhury, Eur. Phys. J. A 54, 69 (2018); Commun. Theor. Phys. 71, 56 (2019)] derived from the coupled DGLAP equations for quarks and gluons approximated by Taylor expansion. In this work, we compute the partial momentum fractions carried by quarks and gluons in limited small [Formula: see text] range: [Formula: see text] and compare them with few other models available in the current literature. The analysis leads to understand qualitatively the effects of notions like Froissart saturation and self-similarity in the proton at small [Formula: see text]. We also study if our results conform to the total momentum fractions as predicted in perturbative and lattice QCD.
