The function defined by T_n(x)=((-1)^(n-1))/(sqrt(n!))Z^((n-1))(x), where Z(x)=1/(sqrt(2pi))e^(-x^2/2) and Z^((k))(x) is the kth derivative of Z(x).

The plots above show the values of the function obtained by taking the natural logarithm of the gamma function, lnGamma(z). Note that this introduces complicated branch cut ...

A q-analog of the beta function B(a,b) = int_0^1t^(a-1)(1-t)^(b-1)dt (1) = (Gamma(a)Gamma(b))/(Gamma(a+b)), (2) where Gamma(z) is a gamma function, is given by B_q(a,b) = ...

The beta function B(p,q) is the name used by Legendre and Whittaker and Watson (1990) for the beta integral (also called the Eulerian integral of the first kind). It is ...

The term "Euler function" may be used to refer to any of several functions in number theory and the theory of special functions, including 1. the totient function phi(n), ...

The sigmoid function, also called the sigmoidal curve (von Seggern 2007, p. 148) or logistic function, is the function y=1/(1+e^(-x)). (1) It has derivative (dy)/(dx) = ...

The triangle DeltaA^*B^*C^* obtained by reflecting the vertices of a reference triangle DeltaABC about the opposite sides is called the reflection triangle (Grinberg 2003). ...

A null function delta^0(x) satisfies int_a^bdelta^0(x)dx=0 (1) for all a,b, so int_(-infty)^infty|delta^0(x)|dx=0. (2) Like a delta function, they satisfy delta^0(x)={0 x!=0; ...

A convex function is a continuous function whose value at the midpoint of every interval in its domain does not exceed the arithmetic mean of its values at the ends of the ...

As defined by Erdélyi et al. (1981, p. 20), the G-function is given by G(z)=psi_0(1/2+1/2z)-psi_0(1/2z), (1) where psi_0(z) is the digamma function. Integral representations ...
