QPolyGamma

QPolyGamma[z,q]

gives the -digamma function TemplateBox[{z, q}, QPolyGamma].

QPolyGamma[n,z,q]

gives the ^(th) derivative of the -digamma function TemplateBox[{n, z, q}, QPolyGamma3].

Details

  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • TemplateBox[{z, q}, QPolyGamma]=partial_z TemplateBox[{z, q}, QGamma]/TemplateBox[{z, q}, QGamma]⩵-log(1-q)+log(q)sum_(n=0)^inftyq^(n+z)/(1-q^(n+z)).
  • TemplateBox[{n, z, q}, QPolyGamma3]=d^nTemplateBox[{z, q}, QPolyGamma]/d z^n.
  • QPolyGamma automatically threads over lists.
