In mathematical analysis, the Bohr-Mollerup theorem, named after the Danish mathematicians Harald Bohr and Johannes Mollerup, who proved it, characterizes the gamma function, defined for x > 0 by

as the only function f on the interval x > 0 that simultaneously has the three properties

and
and
is a convex function.

That log f is convex is often expressed by saying that f is log-convex, i.e., a log-convex function is one whose logarithm is convex.

BohriumBohrium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Bh and atomic number 107. It is a synthetic element whose most stable isotope, Bh-262, has a half-life of 102 ms. History It was synthesized in 1976 by a Soviet team led by Y.
