Symbol: DigammaFunction —

\psi\!\left(z\right)

— Digamma function

DigammaFunction(z), rendered as

\psi\!\left(z\right)

, represents the digamma function of argument

z

DigammaFunction(z, m), rendered as

\psi^{(m)}\!\left(z\right)

, represents the order

m

derivative of the digamma function of argument

z

. This is also known as the polygamma function of order

m

and argument

z

. The case

m = 1

(rendered as

\psi'\!\left(z\right)

) is sometimes called the trigamma function,

m = 2

the tetragamma function, etc.
