In mathematics, the Wielandt theorem characterizes the gamma function, defined for all complex numbers for which by

as the only function defined on the half-plane such that:

  • is holomorphic on ;
  • ;
  • for all and
  • is bounded on the strip .

This theorem is named after the mathematician Helmut Wielandt.
