Gamma function
Hello everyone, I would like to know how to replace "Gamma(a,0)" and "Gamma(a,infinity)" ("a" equal, for example, to 2, or to 1/5, etc.) with "gamma(a)" and with "0" , respectively.
For example the following approach does not work:

"subst(Gamma (2/3,0), Gamma (a,0), Gamma(a))".

How can I do?
Sincerely, robmio

RE: Gamma function
For example: laplace(t^(-1/3),t,s) -->
(-s*Gamma(2/3,infinity)+s*Gamma(2/3,0))/(s*(s^(2/3))).

RE: Gamma function
In HP PRIME, Gamma function can take one argument as "complete" gamma function, or 2 arguments as incomplete gamma function:

Gamma(a) = Gamma(a,0) = int(t^(a-1)*exp(-t),t,0,infinity)

Gamma(a,x) = int(t^(a-1)*exp(-t),t,x,infinity).

In HP PRIME, for example, Gamma(0.5,0) = 1.7724
Gamma(0.5,2) = 0.080647.
