A REPRESENTATION OF FACTORIAL FUNCTION, THE NATURE OF γ CONSTANT AND A WAY FOR SOLVING OF FUNCTIONAL EQUATION F(x) = x · F(x - 1)

The Γ function is given as recursive relation by the definition:

(1)

Derivative of the recursive relation is given as:

(2)

(3)

=>

(4)

(5)

=>

(6)

(7)

If the recursive process is continued to ∂((n-n)!)/∂n it will be obtained:

(8)

Where the C_f constant is given as . Now it is possible to be obtained a series of equations that every single one is derived by a previous:

(9)

=>

(10)

=>

(11)

This sum can be summarized regarding the next formula that defines the sum of geometric series:

(12)

Now, the next equations is given that may be applied for the summarization of the series:

(13)

=>

(14)

=>

(15)

The final form of the formula for the series summarization is:

(16)

Now It can be derived the formula of the factorial function:

(17)

=>

(18)

Integrals may swap the places and thus the next formula is obtained:

(19)

Anent,

(20)

Now, Ψ(x) can be defined on the next way; while the next equation is valid:

(21)

Where is:

(22)

C_f = γ

=>

(23)

Let we observe the next expression:

(24)

With respect to the upper expression for factorial, it can be exanimated the nature of the γ constant. See the formula:

(25)

Let is n = 1:

(26)

=>

(27)

=>

(28)

=>

(29)

The next numeric formula for factorial computing is derived by the equations (19) and (26):

(30)

The next formula for computing of the Ψ(x) is obtained with respect to the formulas (21) and (30):

(31)

By the formula (30) it can be computed the numerical solution of SQR(-1)!:

(32)
