Abstract: The gamma, beta and Dirichlet functions have been generalized in several ways by Ingham, Siegel, Bellman and Olkin. These authors defined them as integrals having the integrand as a scalar function of real symmetric matrix. In this article, we have defined and studied these functions when the integrand is a scalar function of Hermitian matrix.
