Abstract

This chapter examines the so-called Eulerian functions, namely the well-known Gamma function and Beta function, followed by some special functions related to them. This chapter also introduces a series of functional forms attributed to the Gamma or Euler function (discovered by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in 1729 in an attempt to find an analytical continuation of the factorial function), denoted by Γ(<i>z</i>) (notation introduced by Adrien–Marie Legendre in 1814) with argument <i>z</i> where analytical tools are employed consistent with the multiplicative Fourier transform or the so-called Mellin transform.
