QPochhammer

QPochhammer[a, q, n]
gives the q-Pochhammer symbol (a;q) _n.
QPochhammer[a, q]
gives the q-Pochhammer symbol (a;q)_infty.
QPochhammer[q]
gives the q-Pochhammer symbol (q;q)_infty.
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • (a;q)_infty=product_(k=0)^infty(1-a q^k)
  • (a;q)_n=(a;q)_infty/(a q^n;q)_infty
