Abstract

In 2021, Hu and Kim defined a new type of gamma function Γ~(x)\widetilde{\Gamma}(x) from the alternating Hurwitz zeta function ζE(z,x)\zeta_{E}(z,x), and obtained some of its properties. In this paper, we shall further investigate the function Γ~(x)\widetilde{\Gamma}(x), that is, we obtain several properties in analogy to the classical Gamma function Γ(x)\Gamma(x), including the integral representation, the limit representation, the recursive formula, the special values, the log-convexity, the duplication and distribution formulas, and the reflection equation. Furthermore, we also prove a Lerch-type formula, which shows that the derivative of ζE(z,x)\zeta_{E}(z,x) can be representative by Γ~(x)\widetilde\Gamma(x).
