Using some basic properties of the gamma function, we evaluate a simple class of infinite products involving Dirichlet characters as a finite product of gamma functions and, in the case of odd characters, as a finite product of sines. As a…
Convergent infinite products, indexed by all natural numbers, in which each factor is a rational function of the index, can always be evaluated in terms of finite products of gamma functions. This goes back to Euler. A purpose of this note…

We give a new proof for a product formula of Jacobi which turns out to be equivalent to a $q$-trigonometric product which was stated without proof by Gosper. We apply this formula to derive a $q$-analogue for the Gauss multiplication…
We explore a number of functional properties of the $q$-gamma function and a class of its quotients; including the $q$-beta function. We obtain formulas for all higher logarithmic derivatives of these quotients and give precise conditions…
We use well-known limit theorems in probability theory to derive a Wallis-type product formula for the gamma function. Our result immediately provides a probabilistic proof of Wallis's product formula for $\pi$, as well as the duplication…
We study analytic and arithmetic properties of the elliptic gamma function $$ \prod_{m,n=0}^\infty\frac{1-x^{-1}q^{m+1}p^{n+1}}{1-xq^mp^n}, \qquad |q|,|p|<1, $$ in the regime $p=q$; in particular, its connection with the elliptic…
We express the $q$-Pochhammer symbol $(z;q)_\infty$ as an infinite product of gamma functions, analogously to how Narukawa expressed the elliptic gamma function as an infinite product of hyperbolic gamma functions. This identity is used to…
This paper presents expressions for gamma values at rational points with the denominator dividing 24 or 60. These gamma values are expressed in terms of 10 distinct gamma values and rational powers of $\pi$ and a few real algebraic numbers.…
Taking the product of (2n+1)/(2n+2) raised to the power +1 or -1 according to the n-th term of the Thue-Morse sequence gives rise to an infinite product P while replacing (2n+1)/(2n+2) with (2n)/(2n+1) yields an infinite product Q, where P…
We provide a new algorithm for evaluating the gamma function at any (rational) point and a new infinite product representation free from the presence of Euler and Mascheroni constant.Formulae and inequalities seemingly new are obtained as…
We introduce new generalizations of the Gamma and the Beta functions. Their properties are investigated and known results are obtained as particular cases.
We generalize Wallis's 1655 infinite product for $\pi/2$ to one for $(\pi/K)\csc(\pi/K)$, as well as give new Wallis-type products for $\pi/4, 2, \sqrt{2+\sqrt2}, 2\pi/3\sqrt3,$ and other constants. The proofs use a classical infinite…
We consider convexity and monotonicity properties for some functions related to the $q$-gamma function. As applications, we give a variety of inequalities for the $q$-gamma function, the $q$-digamma function $\psi_q(x)$, and the $q$-series.…
The recurrence matrix relations, differentiation formulas, and analytical and fractional integral properties of incomplete gamma matrix functions $\gamma(Q, x)$ and $\Gamma(Q, x)$ are all covered in this article. The generalized incomplete…
Let $q\ge3$ be an integer, $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, and $L(s,\chi)$ denote the Dirichlet $L$-functions corresponding to $\chi$. In this paper, we show some special function series, and give some new identities for the…
We exploit transformations relating generalized $q$-series, infinite products, sums over integer partitions, and continued fractions, to find partition-theoretic formulas to compute the values of constants such as $\pi$, and to connect sums…
We establish new product identities involving the $q$-analogue of the Fibonacci numbers. We show that the identities lead to alternate expressions of generating functions for close-packed dimers on non-orientable surfaces.
We derive hypergeometric formulas for Euler's constant, gamma. A "by-product" of Thomae's transformation is an infinite product for e^gamma involving the binomial coefficients. Alternate, non-hypergeometric proofs use a double integral for…
