Representation of Other Functions in Terms of The G-function
The following list shows how the familiar elementary functions result as special cases of the Meijer G-function:
Here, H denotes the Heaviside step function.
The subsequent list shows how some higher functions can be expressed in terms of the G-function:
Even the derivatives of γ(α,x) and Γ(α,x) with respect to α can be expressed in terms of the Meijer G-function. Here, γ and Γ are the lower and upper incomplete gamma functions, Jν and Yν are the Bessel functions of the first and second kind, respectively, Iν and Kν are the corresponding modified Bessel functions, and Φ is the Lerch transcendent.

Famous quotes containing the words representation of, functions and/or terms:
“America loves the representation of its heroes to be not just larger than life, but stupendously, awesomely bigger than anything else. If blue whales built statues to each other they’d be smaller then these.”
—Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
“Nobody is so constituted as to be able to live everywhere and anywhere; and he who has great duties to perform, which lay claim to all his strength, has, in this respect, a very limited choice. The influence of climate upon the bodily functions ... extends so far, that a blunder in the choice of locality and climate is able not only to alienate a man from his actual duty, but also to withhold it from him altogether, so that he never even comes face to face with it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“They were pipes of pagan mirth,
And the world had found new terms of worth.
He laid him down on the sunburned earth
And raveled a flower and looked away.
Play? Play? What should he play?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
