We will show that many properties which $\\Ga(z)$ enjoys extend in a natural way to the function $\\Ga(x,z)$. Among other things we shall provide functional equations, a multiplication formula, and analogues of the Stirling formula with asymptotic estimates as consequences.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-05-09T18:37:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33B15", "11Y60", "11M06" ], "keywords": [ "asymptotic estimates", "complex variables", "classical gamma function", "multiplication formula", "functional equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1305.2174E" } } }
