On the singular values of the incomplete Beta function

Abstract

A new denition of the incomplete beta function as a distribution- valued meromorphic function is given and the finite parts of it and of its partial derivatives at the singular values are calculated and compared with formulas in the literature.

Keywords

• Beta function
• distribution theory
