GAMMA, BETA FUNCTION

 The Gamma function and Beta functions belong to the category of the
special transcendental functions and are defined in terms of improper
definite integrals.

1.1 Definition of Gamma function :

The gamma function is denoted and defined by the integral

∞
Γ𝑚 = ∫0 𝑒 −𝑥 𝑥 𝑚−1 𝑑𝑥 (𝑚 > 0)

1.2 Properties of Gamma function :

1) Γ(𝑚 + 1) = 𝑚Γ𝑚
2) Γ(𝑚 + 1) = 𝑚! When m is a positive integer.
3) Γ(𝑚 + 𝑎) = (𝑚 + 𝑎 − 1)(𝑚 + 𝑎 − 2) … … … 𝑎Γ𝑎, when n is a
positive integer.
