Summation of Gamma functions and fractions

4.5k Views Asked by At

Can anyone explain to me what identities are used to get the solution:

$$\sum_{t=1}^{n} \frac{\Gamma(t+a)}{\Gamma{(t)}}=\frac{n\Gamma(a+n+1)}{(a+1)\Gamma{(n+1)}}$$

This is only the last step of a much longer problem I was assigned, and since I have never covered identities of Gamma functions I am not sure how to show this is correct!

I am willing to upload the whole question if it is required.

Looks like the only identity you need is

$$\Gamma(t+1) = t \cdot \Gamma(t)$$

Also, it helps to know that you can work out the value of $\Gamma$ for integers with the formula (which follows by induction from the above and from $\Gamma(1)=1$):

$$\Gamma(n) = (n-1)!$$

Working out your problem: For $n=1$, the left hand side is

$$\frac {\Gamma(1+a)} {\Gamma(1)} =\frac {\Gamma(1+a)} {1}= \Gamma(1+a)$$

and the right hand side is

$$\frac {\Gamma(a+2)} {(a+1)\Gamma(2)}$$

Using the identity I mentioned in the beginning, this reduces to

$$\frac {\Gamma(a+2)} {(a+1)\Gamma(2)} = \frac {(a+1)\Gamma(a+1)} {(a+1)\cdot 1} = \Gamma(1+a)$$

You can work the rest by induction on $n$.
