def multigammaln(a, d):
    """returns the log of multivariate gamma, also sometimes called the
    generalized gamma. 
    
    :Parameters:
        a : ndarray
            the multivariate gamma is computed for each item of a
        d : int
            the dimension of the space of integration.

    :Returns:
        res : ndarray 
            the values of the log multivariate gamma at the given points a.

    Note
    ----

    The formal definition of the multivariate gamma of dimension d for a real a
    is :

    \Gamma_d(a) = \int_{A>0}{e^{-tr(A)\cdot{|A|}^{a - (m+1)/2}dA}}

    with the condition a > (d-1)/2, and A>0 being the set of all the positive
    definite matrices of dimension s. Note that a is a scalar: the integration
    is multivariate, the argument is not.

    This can be proven to be equal to the much friendler equation:

    \Gamma_d(a) = \pi^{d(d-1)/4}\prod_{i=1}^{d}{\Gamma(a - (i-1)/2)}.
