Gamma Function Last Updated : 16 Jun, 2020 Improve Improve Like Article Like Save Share Report Gamma function is one commonly used extension of the factorial function to complex numbers. The gamma function is defined for all complex numbers except the non-positive integers. Gamma function denoted by is defined as: where p>0. Gamma function is also known as Euler’s integral of second kind. Integrating Gamma function by parts we get, Thus Some standard results: We know that Put t=u^2 Thus Now changing to polar coordinates by using u = r cosθ and v = r sinθ Thus Hence Where n is a positive integer and m>-1 Put x=e^-y such that dx=-e-ydy=-x dy Put (m+1)y = u Example-1: Compute Explanation : Using We know Thus Example-2: Evaluate Explanation : Put x4 = t, 4x3dx = dt, dx = ¼ t-3/4 dt Like Article Suggest improvement Previous Beta Function Next Reduction Formula Share your thoughts in the comments Add Your Comment Please Login to comment...
