英文摘要	Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are brief but intense emissions of soft gamma-rays, mostly lasting from a few to a few thousand seconds. For these types of high-energy transients, the isotropic-equivalent-energy (Eiso) function may be more scientifically meaningful than the GRB isotropic-equivalent-luminosity (Liso) function, as the traditional luminosity function refers to steady emission much longer than a few thousand seconds. In this work we construct, for the first time, the isotropic-equivalent-energy function for a sample of 95 bursts with measured redshifts (z), and find an excess of high-z GRBs. Assuming that the excess is caused by a GRB luminosity function evolution in a power-law form, we find a cosmic evolution of , which is comparable to that between Liso and z, namely (both 1s). The evolution-removed isotropic-equivalent-energy function can be reasonably fitted by a broken power law, in which the dim and bright segments are and , respectively (1s). The cosmic GRB formation rate increases quickly in the region of , remains approximately constant for , and finally decreases with a power index of -3.80 +/- 2.16 for z?4, in good agreement with the cosmic star formation rate observed to date.
