gamma function.

LAX-backend implementation of scipy.special.gamma().

The JAX version only accepts real-valued inputs.

Original docstring below.

The gamma function is defined as

\[\Gamma(z) = \int_0^\infty t^{z-1} e^{-t} dt\]

for \(\Re(z) > 0\) and is extended to the rest of the complex plane by analytic continuation. See [dlmf] for more details.

Returns:

Values of the gamma function

Return type:

scalar or ndarray
