On the Barnes double gamma function (2208.13876v2)
Published 29 Aug 2022 in math.NT, cs.NA, and math.NA
Abstract: We aim to achieve the following three goals. First of all, we collect all known definitions, transformation properties and functional identities of Barnes double gamma function $G(z;\tau)$. Second, we derive an algorithm for numerically computing the double gamma function and present its complete asymptotic expansion as $z\to \infty$. Third, we derive some new properties, including a new product identity and new representations of the gamma modular forms $C(\tau)$ and $D(\tau)$.
