Looking for functions "similar" to the $ \Gamma $ function

302 Views Asked by At

According to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_equation

The $\Gamma$ - function is the only solution that suffices the following three equations:

$$ f(x)={f(x+1) \over x}\tag{$*$} $$

$$ f(y)f\left(y+\frac{1}{2}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2^{2y-1}}f(2y) \tag{$**$}$$

$$ f(z)f(1-z)={\pi \over \sin(\pi z)} \tag{$***$} $$

Now I do wonder, how functions look like that suffices just 1 or exactly 2 of the given equations above, if there are really examples of such functions, that are more intuitive. How would one approach that problem?

Every constructive comment or post is appreciated.
