Polygamma Function - Reflection Relation

Reflection Relation

(-1)^m \psi^{(m)} (1-z) - \psi^{(m)} (z) = \pi \frac{d^m}{d z^m} \cot{(\pi z)} = \pi^{m+1} \frac{P_m(\cos(\pi z))}{\sin^{m+1}(\pi z)}

where is alternatingly an odd resp. even polynomial of degree with integer coefficients and leading coefficient . They obey the recursion equation with .

Famous quotes containing the words reflection and/or relation:

    “With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    “Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash.”
    —Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
