QPochhammer

QPochhammer[a,q,n]

gives the -Pochhammer symbol TemplateBox[{a, q, n}, QPochhammer].

QPochhammer[a,q]

gives the -Pochhammer symbol TemplateBox[{a, q}, QPochhammer2].

QPochhammer[q]

gives the -Pochhammer symbol TemplateBox[{q}, QPochhammer1].

Details

  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • TemplateBox[{a, q}, QPochhammer2]=product_(k=0)^infty(1-a q^k).
  • TemplateBox[{a, q, n}, QPochhammer]=TemplateBox[{a, q}, QPochhammer2]/TemplateBox[{{a,  , {q, ^, n}}, q}, QPochhammer2].
  • QPochhammer automatically threads over lists.
