We introduce a generalization $G^{(\alpha)}(X)$ of the truncated logarithm $\mathcal{L}_1(X) = \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}X^k/k$ in characteristic $p$, which depends on a parameter $\alpha$. The main motivation of this study is $G^{(\alpha)}(X)$ being…

The logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ of an analytic and univalent function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ is defined by $\log \frac{f(z)}{z}= 2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}…
Let $\es$ be the class of analytic and univalent functions in the unit disk $|z|<1$, that have a series of the form $f(z)=z+ \sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_nz^n$. Let $F$ be the inverse of the function $f\in\es$ with the series expansion %in a disk…

We consider the Lommel functions $s_{\mu,\nu}(z)$ for different values of the parameters $(\mu,\nu)$. We show that if $(\mu,\nu)$ are half integers, then it is possible to describe these functions with an explicit combination of polynomials…

In this work we prove that if an entire function $f(z)$ is of order strictly less than one and it has only negative zeros, then for each nonnegative integer $k,m$ the real function…
We define the indefinite logarithm [log x] of a real number x>0 to be a mathematical object representing the abstract concept of the logarithm of x with an indeterminate base (i.e., not specifically e, 10, 2, or any fixed number). The…

In this paper, we study the holomorphic function defined by the infinite product $\Gamma_{a,r}(s) =\prod_{n \geq 0} (1 + \frac{1}{a+ nr})^s (1 + \frac{s}{a+nr})^{-1}$ which generalize Euler's definition in the sense that $\Gamma(s) =…
In this paper, we present a very accurate approximation for gamma function: \begin{equation*} \Gamma \left( x+1\right) \thicksim \sqrt{2\pi x}\left( \dfrac{x}{e}\right) ^{x}\left( x\sinh \frac{1}{x}\right) ^{x/2}\exp \left(…
