Polygamma Function

The polygamma function is sometimes denoted , and sometimes . In notation,

where

is the Hurwitz Zeta Function. In the

Notation (the form returned by the PolyGamma[m,z] function in Mathematica

where

is the Gamma Function and

is the Digamma Function.

is therefore related to

(5)

The function

is equivalent to the Digamma Function

. Note that Morse and Feshbach (1953) adopta notation no longer in standard use in which Morse and Feshbach's

is equal to the above

The polygamma function obeys the Recurrence Relation

where

is the Kronecker Delta.

In general, special values for integral indices are given by
