polygamma function of order m

Définition(s)

In mathematics, the polygamma function of order $m$ is a meromorphic function on the complex numbers ${\\displaystyle \\mathbb {C} }$ defined as the $(m + 1)$ th derivative of the logarithm of the gamma function:

${\\displaystyle \\psi ^{(m)}(z):={\ rac {\\mathrm {d} ^{m}}{\\mathrm {d} z^{m}}}\\psi (z)={\ rac {\\mathrm {d} ^{m+1}}{\\mathrm {d} z^{m+1}}}\\ln \\Gamma (z).}$

Thus

${\\displaystyle \\psi ^{(0)}(z)=\\psi (z)={\ rac {\\Gamma '(z)}{\\Gamma (z)}}}$

holds where $ψ (z)$ is the digamma function and $Γ(z)$ is the gamma function. They are holomorphic on ${\\displaystyle \\mathbb {C} \ackslash \\mathbb {Z} _{\\leq 0}}$ . At all the nonpositive integers these polygamma functions have a pole of order $m + 1$ . The function $ψ (1) (z)$ is sometimes called the trigamma function.
