Relationship Between Gamma Function and Beta Function

To derive the integral representation of the beta function, write the product of two factorials as

$\Gamma(x)\Gamma(y) = \int_0^\infty\ e^{-u} u^{x-1}\,du \int_0^\infty\ e^{-v} v^{y-1}\,dv =\int_0^\infty\int_0^\infty\ e^{-u-v} u^{x-1}v^{y-1}\,du \,dv. \!$

Changing variables by putting u=zt, v=z(1-t) shows that this is

$\int_{z=0}^\infty\int_{t=0}^1\ e^{-z} (zt)^{x-1}(z(1-t))^{y-1}z\,dt \,dz =\int_{z=0}^\infty \ e^{-z}z^{x+y-1} \,dz\int_{t=0}^1t^{x-1}(1-t)^{y-1}\,dt. \!$

Hence

$\Gamma(x)\,\Gamma(y)=\Gamma(x+y)\Beta(x,y) .$

The stated identity may be seen as a particular case of the identity for the integral of a convolution. Taking

and, one has:

Famous quotes containing the words relationship between, relationship and/or function:

“The relationship between mother and professional has not been a partnership in which both work together on behalf of the child, in which the expert helps the mother achieve her own goals for her child. Instead, professionals often behave as if they alone are advocates for the child; as if they are the guardians of the child’s needs; as if the mother left to her own devices will surely damage the child and only the professional can rescue him.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)

“Sometimes in our relationship to another human being the proper balance of friendship is restored when we put a few grains of impropriety onto our own side of the scale.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Advocating the mere tolerance of difference between women is the grossest reformism. It is a total denial of the creative function of difference in our lives. Difference must be not merely tolerated, but seen as a fund of necessary polarities between which our creativity can spark like a dialectic.”
—Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
