Debye function
|
|
In mathematics, the family of Debye functions is defined by
- <math>D_n(x) = \frac{n}{x^n} \int_0^x \frac{t^n}{e^t - 1}\,dt.<math>
In honor of Peter Debye who came across this function (with <math>n=3<math>) when he analytically computed the heat capacity of a solid. His method is now called The Debye model.
