✦ Synopsis


Liouville's fractional integration is used to define polygamma functions ~,(")(z) for negative integer n. It is shown that such ~k(n)(z) can be represented in a closed form by means of the first derivatives of the Hurwitz Zeta function. Relations to the Barnes G-function and generalized Glaisher's constants are also discussed. (~) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

## Abstract The Gamma function and its __n__ th logarithmic derivatives (that is, the polygamma or the psi‐functions) have found many interesting and useful applications in a variety of subjects in pure and applied mathematics. Here we mainly apply these functions to treat convolutions of the Rayle

By reformulating the equations governing such polygamma functions in terms of a truncated Riemann Zeta function, we derive expressions which enable their evaluation to a much higher degree of accuracy without any additional computational effort.
