digamma (daɪˈgæmə) [a. L. digamma, Gr. δίγαµµα the digamma, f. δι- twice + γάµµα the letter gamma: so called by the grammarians of the first century, from its shape ϝ or F, resembling two gammas (Γ) set one above the other.] The sixth letter of the original Greek alphabet, corresponding to the Semit...

Digamma function
The digamma function is often denoted as or (the uppercase form of the archaic Greek consonant digamma meaning double-gamma). Special values
The digamma function has values in closed form for rational numbers, as a result of Gauss's digamma theorem.

Series involving Digamma relates to Exponential Integral I came across the following series involving the Digamma function $\Psi$: \begin{equation} \sum^{\infty}_{k=0} \Psi(k+1) \frac{z^k}{k!}, \end{equation} where z...
Here is a derivation based on $$\psi(k+1)=-\gamma+\sum_{n=1}^{k}\frac{1}{n}=-\gamma+\int_0^1\frac{1-t^k}{1-t}\,dt$$ (let me use the conventional notation) and the formula $$\gamma=\int_0^1\frac{1-e^{-x}}{x}\,dx-\int_1^\infty\frac{e^{-x}}{x}\,dx.$$ We get \begin{align}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\psi(k+1)\fra...

A property of the _digamma_ function On the last paragraph of the article on Wikipedia about the digamma function I found 1 _The digamma function appears in the regularization of divergent integrals_ $$ \int _{0}^{\i...
The idea of a regularization is to subtract some (constant) infinity to be left with a finite expression possibly meaning something. In this case, the relevant formula is mentioned in the article at Wikipedia: $$\psi (a)=-\gamma +\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }\left({\frac {1}{n+1}}-{\frac {1}{n+a}}\right).$$...

Digamma series Representation I was reading about where the series representation of digamma is proved and its states: $$-\frac{1}{x}-\gamma +\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\left(\frac{1}{n}-\frac{1}{n+x}\right) = -\gamma +\sum...
A good starting point is the Weierstrass product for the $\Gamma$ function: $$ \Gamma(x) = \frac{e^{-\gamma x}}{x}\prod_{n\geq 1}\left(1+\frac{x}{n}\right)^{-1}e^{x/n}\tag{1} $$ By considering $\frac{d}{dx}\log(\cdot)$ of both sides, $$ \psi(x) = -\frac{1}{x}-\gamma+\sum_{n\geq 1}\frac{x}{n(n+x)}=-\...
