## Abstract

(0.1) Our goal is to solve a problem posed in the paper [A2]. Our goal in the introduction is to explain the problem, referring to [A1] and [A2] for details and background, but not supposing much familiarity with those papers. To get started, consider the functional equations

$$\begin{array}{l} B\left( {s,t} \right) = \Gamma \left( s \right)\Gamma \left( t \right)/\Gamma \left( {s + t} \right),\,B\left( {s,t} \right) = B\left( {t,s} \right),\\ B\left( {r,s} \right)B\left( {r + s,t} \right) = B\left( {r,s + t} \right)B\left( {s,t} \right) \end{array}$$
obeyed by the gamma and beta integrals
$$\Gamma (s)\, = \,\int_0^\infty {{e^{ - x}}{x^{s - 1}}\,dx,\,B(s,t)\, = \,\int_0^1 {{x^{s - 1}}} } {(1 - x)^{t - 1}}\,dx.$$
