Hello, Let expr = 10*Gamma[a]*Gamma[3 + b]^2*(2*Gamma[1 + a]^2*Gamma[4 + b]*Gamma[3 + a + b]*Gamma[a]*Gamma[3 + b]*Gamma[4 + a + b])/( Beta[a, b]^3*Gamma[3 + a + b]^2*Gamma[4 + a + b]*Gamma[5 + a + b]) One way to replace b by 1+b inside arguments to Gamma is the following rule within a rule: gr = Gamma[args__] :> Gamma[args /. b -> 1+b] Then expr /. gr seems to do what you want. By the way, if your examples included nested Gamma functions, then you'll want instead expr //. gr Tom Burton
