Abstract

In this paper we consider the functional equation for alternating factorial sum and some of its particular solutions (alternating Kurepa's function A(z)A(z) from [Petojevic_02] and function A1(z)A_{1}(z)). We determine an extension of domain of functions A(z)A(z) and A1(z)A_{1}(z) in the sense of the principal value at point [Slavic_73], [Mijajlovic & Malesevic_07]. Using the methods from [Slavic_73] and [Malesevic_03] we give a new representation of alternating Kurepa's function A(z)A(z), which is an analog of Slavi\' c's representation of Kurepa's function K(z)K(z) [Slavic_73], [Marichev_83]. Also, we consider some representations of functions A(z)A(z) and A1(z)A_{1}(z) via incomplete gamma function and we consider differential transcendency of previous functions too.
