A Generalization of the Euler Gamma Function

We define a generalized Euler gamma function Λ^β(z), where the product is taken over powers of integers rather than integers themselves. Studying the associated spectral functions and in particular the zeta function, we obtain the main properties of Λ^β(z) and its asymptotic expansion for large values of the argument.__________Translated from Funktsional’nyi Analiz i Ego Prilozheniya, Vol. 39, No. 2, pp. 87–91, 2005Original Russian Text Copyright © by M.
