Description
This option to convert converts the GAMMA function and factorials in an expression e to binomial coefficients. The code performs the following two transformations on products of factorials and the GAMMA function.
Transformation 1: given a product
where are integers. Note, the code handles the case where , , and are GAMMA functions, and also the special case .
Case 1: and . Then if , an integer, the product is multiplied by
where is a correction factor depending on and .
Similarly, CASE 2: where , . This is the case where the binomial appears in the denominator. Then if , an integer, the product is multiplied by
Transformation 2: given a product
where are integers and is a rational constant .
Case 1: . Multiply by
Case 2: . Multiply by
