Pochhammer symbol

This is easily derived by examining the coefficient of a general power of x in the series expansions of the functions and using the Pochhammer symbol. There is a comprehensive list of similar properties in Abramowitz and Ste-gun [1], which may be derived in the same way. In addition to these, there... 

The quantities (p)j are Pochhammer symbols, defined after Eq. (29). For a general discussion of the functions 2F1, see... 

For definition of the beta function and a derivation of Eq. (39), see Ref. [9]. Note also that the notation d) denotes a Pochhammer symbol, defined immediately after Eq. (29).

The double factorial of n, denoted nil, is the product of every other integer nil = n- n - 2)- n - 4) , where the last element in the product is either 2 or 1, depending on whether n is even or odd. The shifted factorial (also called the rising factorial and Pochhammer s symbol) is denoted by a) (sometimes a ) and is defined as...
