The Generalized Superfactorial, Hyperfactorial and Primorial functions

Abstract

This paper introduces a new generalized superfactorial function (referable to as nthn^{th}- degree superfactorial: sf(n)(x)sf^{(n)}(x)) and a generalized hyperfactorial function (referable to as nthn^{th}- degree hyperfactorial: H(n)(x)H^{(n)}(x)), and we show that these functions possess explicit formulae involving figurate numbers. Besides discussing additional number patterns, we also introduce a generalized primorial function and 2 related theorems. Note that the superfactorial definition offered by Sloane and Plouffe (1995) is the definition considered (and not Clifford Pickover's (1995) superfactorial function: n\$).
