  • Paragraph Mellin–Barnes Integrals (in §8.6(ii))

    The descriptions for the paths of integration of the Mellin-Barnes integrals (8.6.10)–(8.6.12) have been updated. The description for (8.6.11) now states that the path of integration is to the right of all poles. Previously it stated incorrectly that the path of integration had to separate the poles of the gamma function from the pole at s = 0 . The paths of integration for (8.6.10) and (8.6.12) have been clarified. In the case of (8.6.10), it separates the poles of the gamma function from the pole at s = a for Ξ³ ⁑ ( a , z ) . In the case of (8.6.12), it separates the poles of the gamma function from the poles at s = 0 , 1 , 2 , .
