gamma_incomplete

Computes the upper incomplete gamma function.

gamma_incomplete(a,z) represents Γ(a,z). Positive integer values of a are expanded exactly with the finite-sum identity; other inputs remain symbolic.

Examples

These examples use Nerdamer Notation.

Use the simplest positive-integer case.

gamma_incomplete(1,x)
// → e^(-x)

Expand the upper incomplete gamma function for a higher positive integer.

gamma_incomplete(3,x)
// → 2*e^(-x)*(1+x+(1/2)*x^2)

Show the finite polynomial multiplying the exponential for a=4.

gamma_incomplete(4,x)
// → 6*e^(-x)*(1+x+(1/2)*x^2+(1/6)*x^3)
