# Complementary Incomplete Gamma Function (G Dataflow)

Computes the regularized complementary incomplete gamma function.

## x

Input argument. If x is negative, the node uses the absolute value of x.

Default: 0

## a

The lower limit of the regularized complementary incomplete gamma integral.

Default: Positive infinity

## error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.

error in does not contain an error error in contains an error
If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally.

If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.

If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Default: No error

## 1 - g(x, a)

Value of the regularized complementary incomplete gamma function.

## error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

## Algorithm for Computing the Regularized Complementary Incomplete Gamma Function

The following equation defines the complement of the regularized incomplete gamma function.

${\mathrm{\Gamma }}_{c}\left(x,a\right)=\frac{1}{\mathrm{\Gamma }\left(x\right)}{\int }_{a}^{\infty }{t}^{x-1}{e}^{-t}dt$

The complement of the regularized incomplete gamma function is related to the regularized incomplete gamma function by the following identity.

$\mathrm{\Gamma }\left(x,a\right)+{\mathrm{\Gamma }}_{c}\left(x,a\right)=1$

The regularized incomplete gamma function is defined according to the following intervals for the input values.

$x\in \left[0,\infty \right),a\in \left(0,\infty \right)$

For any positive real value of lower limit a, the regularized incomplete gamma function is defined for nonnegative real values of x.
