Euler beta function
Function
| definiendum | $ {\mathrm B}: \{z\ |\ \mathfrak{R}(z) > 0 \}^2 \to \mathbb C$ |
| definiendum | $ {\mathrm B}(p,q) := \int_0^1 \tau^{p-1}(1-\tau)^{q-1}\,\mathrm d\tau $ |
Theorems
For natural numbers
- ${\large{n \choose k}}=(n+1)\cdot\dfrac{1}{{\mathrm B}(n-k+1,k+1)}$
- $\dfrac{1}{{\mathrm B}(x,y)} = \frac{x\,y}{x+y} \prod_{n=1}^\infty \left( 1 + \dfrac{x\,y}{n\,(x+y+n)}\right)$
