Fermi-Dirac integrals in terms of Zeta Functions

This paper shows the Fermi-Dirac Integrals expressed in terms of Riemann and Hurwitz Zeta functions. This is done by defining an auxiliar function that permits rewrite the Fermi-Dirac integral in terms of simpler and known integrals resulting in the Zeta functions mentioned. The approach used here evades the use of iterative methods for the integrals and presents a generalization in a refereed interval, one that complements Sommerfeld lemma.

Construction of the Digamma Function by Derivative Definition

The Digamma and Polygamma functions are important tools in mathematical physics, not only for its many properties but also for the applications in statistical mechanics and stellar evolution. In many textbooks is found its develop almost by the same procedure. In this paper expressions for the Digamma and Polygamma functions, in terms of hypergeometric functions, are found through the derivative definition.
