Description
Both Γ(x)
and Ψ(x)
diverge as x→0
but in opposite directions. For Γ
, limx→0-Γ(x) = -∞
, and limx→0+Γ(x) = +∞
. For Ψ
, limx→0-Ψ(x) = +∞
, and limx→0+Ψ(x) = -∞
.
The Implementation of Γ
, std.mathspecial.gamma
, treats -0.
and +0.
in the IEEE 754 way as infinitesimally less than and greater than zero, respectively. I.e., gamma(±0.) == ±real.infinity
. The implementation of Ψ
, std.mathspecial.digamma
, doesn't do this. It treats ±0.
as identically zero. I e., digamma(±0.)
is real.nan
. Would it be possible to make digamma
's treatment of ±0.
consistent with gamma
's, i.e, digamma(±0.) == ∓real.infinity
?
