A new uniform asymptotic expansion for the incomplete gamma function $\Gamma(a,z)$ valid for large values of $z$ was given by the author in {\it J. Comput. Appl. Math.} {\bf 148} (2002) 323--339. This expansion contains a complementary…
Using a variational approach, two new series representations for the incomplete Gamma function are derived: the first is an asymptotic series, which contains and improves over the standard asymptotic expansion; the second is a uniformly…
We consider the asymptotic behavior of the incomplete gamma functions gamma(-a,-z) and Gamma(-a,-z) as a goes to infinity. Uniform expansions are needed to describe the transition area z~a in which case error functions are used as main…
We derive product and series representations of the gamma function using Newton interpolation series. Using these identities, a new formula for the coefficients in the Taylor series of the reciprocal gamma function is found. We also find…
We derive an integral expression $G(z)$ for the reciprocal gamma function, $1/\Gamma(z)=G(z)/\pi$, that is valid for all $z\in\mathbb{C}$, without the need for analytic continuation. The same integral avoids the singularities of the gamma…
In this note we give a derivation of the asymptotic main term for the q-Gamma function as q approaching 1. This formula is valid on all the complex plan except at the poles of the Euler Gamma function.
We revisit a representation for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ expressed in terms of normalised incomplete gamma functions given by the author and S. Cang in Methods Appl. Anal. {\bf 4} (1997) 449--470. Use of the uniform asymptotics…
We introduce a gamma function $\Ga(x,z)$ in two complex variables which extends the classical gamma function $\Ga(z)$ in the sense that $\lim_{x\to 1}\Ga(x,z)=\Ga(z)$. We will show that many properties which $\Ga(z)$ enjoys extend in a…
A new computational framework for evaluation of the gamma function $\Gamma(z)$ over the complex plane is developed. The algorithm is based on interpolation by rational functions, and generalizes the classical methods of Lanczos…
We derive two-sided bounds for a class of Stirling-type asymptotic formulas for piecewise logarithmic interpolations of the pi function, and hence also for the factorials and the gamma functions. The bounds are derived by first proving some…
In this paper, we obtain asymptotic formulae on nilmanifolds $\Gamma \backslash G$, wher $G$ is any stratified (or even graded) nilpotent Lie group equipped with a co-compact discrete subgroup $\Gamma$. We study especially the asymptotics…
We construct asymptotic expansions for the normalised incomplete gamma function $Q(a,z)=\Gamma(a,z)/\Gamma(a)$ that are valid in the transition regions, including the case $z\approx a$, and have simple polynomial coefficients. For Bessel…
We derive several identities for the Hurwitz and Riemann zeta functions, the Gamma function, and Dirichlet $L$-functions. They involve a sequence of polynomials $\alpha_k(s)$ whose study was initiated in an earlier paper. The expansions…
For $0\neq x>-1$ let $$\Delta(x)={{\ln \Gamma(x+1)} \over x}.$$ Recently Adell and Alzer proved the complete monotonicity of $\Delta'$ on $(-1,\infty)$ by giving an integral representation of $(-1)^n \Delta^{(n+1)}(x)$ in terms of the…
We consider the asymptotic expansion of the Wright function \[W_{\lambda,\mu}(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{z^n}{n! \Gamma(\lambda n+\mu)}\qquad (\lambda>-1)\] for large (positive and negative) variable and large parameter $\mu$. The analysis…
Various approaches to the numerical representation of the Incomplete Gamma Function F_m(z) for complex arguments z and small integer indexes m are compared with respect to numerical fitness (accuracy and speed). We consider power series,…
Exact and asymptotic formulae are displayed for the coefficients $\lambda_n$ used in Li's criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis. In particular, we argue that if (and only if) the Hypothesis is true, $\lambda_n \sim n(A \log n +B)$ for $n \to…
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic properties of the generalised trigonometric integral $\operatorname{ti}(a, z, \alpha)$ and its associated modulus and phase functions for large complex values of $z$. We derive asymptotic…
