Abstract

We define an absolutely convergent series for the upper incomplete Gamma function Γ(s,z)\Gamma(s,z) for z1z\geq 1 and sCs\in \mathbb{C}. We express this series using certain polynomials which we define using the Stirling numbers of the first kind. We prove that these polynomials have positive coefficients by defining a three-parameter family of integers and certain linear operators on vector spaces of polynomials. We then apply this series to obtain a formula for the Riemann xi function valid at any sCs \in \mathbb{C}.
