gamma

Description:

Euler's gamma function

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
gamma(z)=\int_0^{+\infty} t^{z-1} e^{-z} dt (Re(z)>0)
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
real ( z ) > 0 gamma ( z ) = 0 t ( z - 1 ) e - z d t
Example:
gamma(n) = (n-1)! (n \in N)
  
n N gamma ( n ) = ( n - 1 ) !

beta

Description:

Euler's beta function

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
beta(p,q)=\frac{gamma(p)gamma(q)}{gamma(p+q)}(p,q \not\in Z_{<=0})
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
- p N - q N gamma ( p ) gamma ( q ) gamma ( p + q )
Example:
beta(p,q)=\int_0^1 t^{p-1} (1-t)^{q-1} dt (Re(p),Re(q)>0)
  
real ( p ) > 0 real ( q ) > 0 beta ( p , q ) = 0 1 t ( p - 1 ) ( 1 - t ) ( q - 1 ) d t

pochhammer

Description:

Pochhammer symbol

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
pochhammer(a,n) = gamma(a+n)/gamma(a)
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
pochhammer ( alpha , n ) = gamma ( alpha + n ) gamma ( alpha )
Example:
pochhammer(a,n) = \prod_0^{n-1} (a+i)
  
pochhammer ( a , n ) = i = 0 n - 1 a + i
