There are the following special analytic values for fractional arguments between 0 and 1, given by the integral

More may be generated from the recurrence relation or from the reflection relation .

For every, integer or not, we have:

Based on, we have:, where is the Euler–Mascheroni constant or, more generally, for every n we have:

Famous quotes containing the words special, values, fractional and/or arguments:

    Mr. Christian, it is about time for many people to begin to come to the White House to discuss different phases of the coal strike.

    David Elkind (20th century)

    Hummingbird

    sweetness, and’s gone, can’t take

    Nothing requires a greater effort of thought than arguments to justify the rule of non-thought.
