pochhammer

general pochhammer function Calling Sequence pochhammer(z, a) Parameters

 z - expression a - expression Description

 • The pochhammer symbol is defined for a positive integer n and complex number z as

$\mathrm{pochhammer}\left(z,n\right)=z\left(z+1\right)...\left(z+n-1\right)$

 This is extended analytically to complex $n$ by using the formula

$\mathrm{pochhammer}\left(z,a\right)=\frac{\mathrm{\Gamma }\left(z+a\right)}{\mathrm{\Gamma }\left(z\right)}$

 • At all points $\left(z,a\right)$ such that $z$ and $z+a$ are positive integers, this is equivalent to:

$\mathrm{pochhammer}\left(z,a\right)=\underset{t\to 0}{lim}\frac{\mathrm{\Gamma }\left(z+a+t\right)}{\mathrm{\Gamma }\left(z+t\right)}$

 In the case that $z$ is a non-positive integer, pochhammer(z,a) is defined by this limit.
 In the case that both $z$ and $z+a$ are non-positive integers, Maple also signals the invalid_operation numeric event, allowing the user to control this singular behavior by catching the event. See numeric_events for more information. Examples
