Abstract: | The Barnes’ G-function G(x) = 1/Γ2, satisfies the functional equation logG(x + 1) − logG(x) = logΓ(x). We complement W. Krull’s work in Bemerkungen zur Differenzengleichung g(x + 1) − g(x) = φ(x), Math. Nachrichten 1 (1948), 365-376 with additional results that yield a different characterization of the function G, new expansions and sharp bounds for G on x > 0 in terms of Gamma and Digamma functions, a new expansion for the Gamma function and summation formulae with Polygamma functions. |
