Beta & Gamma Functions: Name: Vidhi Parikh Roll No: 9190015005 Class: TP1 Presented To: Saloni Rathod

The document discusses the beta and gamma functions. The gamma function is defined as the definite integral from 0 to infinity of t^(n-1)e^(-t)dt for positive values of n. Some key properties are that the gamma function of positive integers equals the factorial function. The beta function is defined as the definite integral from 0 to 1 of t^(m-1)(1-t)^(n-1)dt for positive values of m and n. It is related to the gamma function by B(m,n) = Γ(m)Γ(n)/Γ(m+n). Applications include describing properties of the strong nuclear force and being used in distributions like the beta and

Introduction

• The Gamma function and Beta function


belong to the category of the special
transcendental functions and are defined
in terms of improper definite integrals.
• These functions are very useful in many
areas like asymptotic series, Riemann-
zeta function, number theory etc and
also have many applications in
engineering and physics.
• The Gamma function was first
introduced by Swiss mathematician
Leonhard Euler (1701-1783).
 Euler’s formula :-
 
Γn Γ(1-n) = ,0<n<1

 Duplication Formula :-

Gamma Function
Definition :
Let n be any positive
 
number. Then the
definite integral is
called gamma function of n which is 0
denoted by Γn and it is defined as
 
Γ(n) = , n>0
Properties of Gamma function
(1)Γ(n + 1) = nΓn
(2)Γ(n + 1) = n! , where n is a positive integer
 
(3)Γ(n + 1) =

Beta Function

Definition
The Beta function denoted by β(m, n) or B(m, n) is
 
defined as B(m, n) = (m>0,n>0)
Properties of Beta Function
(1)B(m, n) = B(n, m)
 
(2) B(m, n) =
(3) B(m,n) = 

 
(4)B(m,n) =
Relation between Beta and Gamma functions :
 
β(m, n) =
Application of Beta & Gamma
function
 In
1968, a researcher, Gabriele Veneziano at
CERN(an European particle accelerator lab)
observed that beta function describes many
properties of strong nuclear force.
 Betadistribution where beta function is used to
determine average time of completing selected
tasks in time management problems.
 Gamma function is used in gamma distribution
which is used to determine time based occurrences,
such as life span of an electronic component etc.
 The Gamma Function is one commonly used
extension of the factorial function to complex
numbers.
