Math. Phys. PY 2014 BP 043501 EP 16pp VL 55 IS 4 DI 10.1063/1.4870619 LA English AB Useful expressions of the derivatives, to any order, of Pochhammer and reciprocal Pochhammer symbols with respect to their arguments are presented. They are building blocks of a procedure, recently suggested, for obtaining the e-expansion of functions of the hypergeometric class related to Feynman integrals. The procedure is applied to some examples of such kind of functions taken from the literature. ER
