    Two asymptotic expansions for gamma function developed by Windschitl's formula

    Full text link
    In this paper, we develop Windschitl's approximation formula for the gamma function to two asymptotic expansions by using a little known power series. In particular, for n∈Nn\in \mathbb{N} with n≥4n\geq 4, we have \begin{equation*} \Gamma \left( x+1\right) =\sqrt{2\pi x}\left( \tfrac{x}{e}\right) ^{x}\left( x\sinh \tfrac{1}{x}\right) ^{x/2}\exp \left( \sum_{k=3}^{n-1}\tfrac{\left( 2k\left( 2k-2\right) !-2^{2k-1}\right) B_{2k}}{2k\left( 2k\right) !x^{2k-1}} +R_{n}\left( x\right) \right) \end{equation*} with \begin{equation*} \left| R_{n}\left( x\right) \right| \leq \frac{\left| B_{2n}\right| }{2n\left( 2n-1\right) }\frac{1}{x^{2n-1}} \end{equation*} for all x>0x>0, where B2nB_{2n} is the Bernoulli number. Moreover, we present some approximation formulas for gamma function related to Windschitl's approximation one, which have higher accuracy.Comment: 14 page

    In this paper, we present some completely monotonic functions and asymptotic expansions related to the gamma function. Based on the obtained expansions, we provide new bounds for Γ(x + 1)/Γ(x + 1/2) and Γ(x + 1/2)

    Let Ωn=πn/2/Γ(n2+1)(n∈N)Ωn=πn/2/Γ(n2+1)(n∈N) denote the volume of the unit ball in RnRn. In this paper, we present asymptotic expansions and inequalities related to ΩnΩn and the quantities:Ωn−1Ωn,ΩnΩn−1+Ωn+1andΩ1/nnΩ1/(n+1)n+1

    Integral Transformation, Operational Calculus and Their Applications

    Get PDF
    The importance and usefulness of subjects and topics involving integral transformations and operational calculus are becoming widely recognized, not only in the mathematical sciences but also in the physical, biological, engineering and statistical sciences. This book contains invited reviews and expository and original research articles dealing with and presenting state-of-the-art accounts of the recent advances in these important and potentially useful subjects

    Second International Workshop on Harmonic Oscillators

    The Second International Workshop on Harmonic Oscillators was held at the Hotel Hacienda Cocoyoc from March 23 to 25, 1994. The Workshop gathered 67 participants; there were 10 invited lecturers, 30 plenary oral presentations, 15 posters, and plenty of discussion divided into the five sessions of this volume. The Organizing Committee was asked by the chairman of several Mexican funding agencies what exactly was meant by harmonic oscillators, and for what purpose the new research could be useful. Harmonic oscillators - as we explained - is a code name for a family of mathematical models based on the theory of Lie algebras and groups, with applications in a growing range of physical theories and technologies: molecular, atomic, nuclear and particle physics; quantum optics and communication theory
