Abstract: The logarithmic convexity of restrictions of the Beta functions to rays parallel to the main diagonal and the functional equation [ phileft( x+1 ight) =frac{xleft( x+k ight) }{left( 2x+k+1 ight) left( 2x+k ight) }phileft( x ight) , x>0, ] for $k>0$ allow to get a characterizations of the Beta function. This fact and a notion of the beta-type function lead to a new characterization of the Gamma function.
