The Hadamard gamma function is defined by the formula $$H(x)=\dfrac{1}{\Gamma(1-x)} \dfrac{d}{dx} \log \left( \dfrac{\Gamma(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{x}{2})}{\Gamma(1-\frac{x}{2})} \right),$$ where $\Gamma$ denotes the gamma function.

Properties

Theorem: We can write $$H(x)=\dfrac{\psi(1-\frac{x}{2})-\psi(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{x}{2})}{2\Gamma(1-x)},$$ where $\psi$ is the digamma function.
