Definition D258
Gamma function
Formulation 0
Let $Z : = \{ (x, y) \in \mathbb{C} : x > 0 \}$ be the D3740: Complex open right half-plane.
The gamma function is the D4881: Complex function \begin{equation} \Gamma : Z \to \mathbb{C}, \quad \Gamma(z) = \int^{\infty}_0 t^{z - 1} e^{-t} \, d t \end{equation}
Children
D5096: Beta function
Results
R2295: Unit increment property of the gamma function
Conventions
Convention 0 (Notation for Gamma function)
We denote the D258: Gamma function by $\Gamma$ from the D3473: Uppercase Greek alphabet.
