The Gamma function, Γ (n), can be expressed as a simple factorial, as explained below. Applying the integration by parts, the following relationship can be derived Γ(n)=(n−1)*Γ(r−1)

In this section, the definitions and some properties of the gamma function have been discussed. The most basic interpretation of the gamma function is simply the generalization of the factorial for all real numbers. It can be defined also for the complex number.

This section addresses the preservation of global convergence under the Wiener–Fliess composition product. That is, the Wiener–Fliess composition of a globally convergent commutative series d and a noncommutative series c in the Fréchet space , , lies in the Fréchet space. Recall from Theorem 3.3, the definition is two-fold. This section considers both these cases in detail. However, the proofs of these convergence theorems need a few preliminary results. In particular, the proofs of global convergence involve the use of fractional powers of multinomial coefficients. Recall that the gamma function, , restricted to is the analytic continuation of the factorial map on the non-negative integers (Abramowitz & Stegun, 1970). Hence, the analytic continuation of the multinomial coefficient is defined in the following way.
