Abstract
In this paper, we established a sharp version of the difference analogue of the celebrated H\"{o}lder's theorem concerning the differential independence of the Euler gamma function . More precisely, if is a polynomial of variables in such that \begin{equation*} P(s, \Gamma(s+a_0), \dots, \Gamma(s+a_{n-1}))\equiv 0 \end{equation*} for some and for any , then we have Our result complements a classical result of algebraic differential independence of the Euler gamma function proved by H\"{o}lder in 1886, and also a result of algebraic difference independence of the Riemann zeta function proved by Chiang and Feng in 2006.
