Rising factorial
Notation\(n^{(x)}\)
TypeCombinatorial
Based onFactorial
Growth rate\(f_{2}(n)\)

The rising factorial \(x^{(n)}\) is defined as \(x \cdot (x + 1) \cdot (x + 2) \cdot \ldots \cdot ((x + n) - 1)\) .[1]

This function has a growth rate of about \(f_2(x)\) in the FGH.

Examples[]

\(x^{(1)}\) = \(x\)

\(x^{(2)}\) = \(x(x+1)\)=\(x^{2}+x\)

\(0^{(n)}\) = \(0 \cdot 1 \cdot ...\) = \(0\)
