/* BUG: FIXME?
|
|
According to Linux man pages for tgamma, lgamma, and gamma, the gamma
|
|
function was originally defined in BSD as implemented here--the log of the gamma
|
|
function. BSD 4.3 changed the name to lgamma, apparently removing gamma. BSD
|
|
4.4 re-introduced the gamma name with the more intuitive, without logarithm,
|
|
plain gamma function. The C99 standard apparently wanted to avoid a problem
|
|
with the poorly-named earlier gamma and used tgamma when adding a plain
|
|
gamma function.
|
|
So the current gamma is matching an old, bad definition, and not
|
|
matching a newer, better definition. */

DESCRIPTION
|
|
<<gamma>> calculates
|
|
@tex
|
|
$\mit ln\bigl(\Gamma(x)\bigr)$,
|
|
@end tex
|
|
the natural logarithm of the gamma function of <[x]>. The gamma function
|
|
(<<exp(gamma(<[x]>))>>) is a generalization of factorial, and retains
|
|
the property that
|
|
@ifnottex
|
|
<<exp(gamma(N))>> is equivalent to <<N*exp(gamma(N-1))>>.
|
|
@end ifnottex
|
|
@tex
|
|
$\mit \Gamma(N)\equiv N\times\Gamma(N-1)$.
|
|
@end tex
|
|
Accordingly, the results of the gamma function itself grow very
|
|
quickly. <<gamma>> is defined as
|
|
@tex
|
|
$\mit ln\bigl(\Gamma(x)\bigr)$ rather than simply $\mit \Gamma(x)$
|
|
@end tex
|
|
@ifnottex
|
|
the natural log of the gamma function, rather than the gamma function
|
|
itself,
|
|
@end ifnottex
|
|
to extend the useful range of results representable.
|
|
|
|
The sign of the result is returned in the global variable <<signgam>>,
|
|
which is declared in math.h.
|
|
|
|
<<gammaf>> performs the same calculation as <<gamma>>, but uses and
|
|
returns <<float>> values.
|
|
|
|
<<lgamma>> and <<lgammaf>> are alternate names for <<gamma>> and
|
|
<<gammaf>>. The use of <<lgamma>> instead of <<gamma>> is a reminder
|
|
that these functions compute the log of the gamma function, rather
|
|
than the gamma function itself.
|
|
|
|
The functions <<gamma_r>>, <<gammaf_r>>, <<lgamma_r>>, and
|
|
<<lgammaf_r>> are just like <<gamma>>, <<gammaf>>, <<lgamma>>, and
|
|
<<lgammaf>>, respectively, but take an additional argument. This
|
|
additional argument is a pointer to an integer. This additional
|
|
argument is used to return the sign of the result, and the global
|
|
variable <<signgam>> is not used. These functions may be used for
|
|
reentrant calls (but they will still set the global variable <<errno>>
|
|
if an error occurs).
|
|
|
|
<<tgamma>> and <<tgammaf>> are the "true gamma" functions, returning
|
|
@tex
|
|
$\mit \Gamma(x)$,
|
|
@end tex
|
|
the gamma function of <[x]>--without a logarithm.
|
|
(They are apparently so named because of the prior existence of the old,
|
|
poorly-named <<gamma>> functions which returned the log of gamma up
|
|
through BSD 4.2.)
|
|
|
|
RETURNS
|
|
Normally, the computed result is returned.
|
|
|
|
When <[x]> is a nonpositive integer, <<gamma>> returns <<HUGE_VAL>>
|
|
and <<errno>> is set to <<EDOM>>. If the result overflows, <<gamma>>
|
|
returns <<HUGE_VAL>> and <<errno>> is set to <<ERANGE>>.
|
|
|
|
PORTABILITY
|
|
Neither <<gamma>> nor <<gammaf>> is ANSI C. It is better not to use either
|
|
of these; use <<lgamma>> or <<tgamma>> instead.@*
|
|
<<lgamma>>, <<lgammaf>>, <<tgamma>>, and <<tgammaf>> are nominally C standard
|
|
in terms of the base return values, although the <[signgam]> global for
|
|
<<lgamma>> is not standard.
