An Exploration of Some Special Functions and their Applications
Mfonobong Ukweso Peter
Abstract:Special functions are a class of mathematical functions that fall outside of ele-mentary functions. They have distinct properties and wide-ranging applications in areas such as engineering, applied mathematics, physics, statistics, economics, and finance. In this research paper, I study two popular special functions: the Gamma function Γ(m) and the Beta function β(m, n). I develop some of their important properties and results, prove these properties, and demonstrate some of their practical applications. Under… Show more
