摘要

1730年,詹姆斯·斯特林在亚伯拉罕·德·莫弗尔的研究基础上,发表了著名的斯特林近似。他给出了一个很好的公式它是渐近于n的。从那以后,有数百篇论文对他的结果给出了不同的证明,并对其进行了改进,其中包括伯赛德、戈斯珀和莫蒂奇。然而,Srinivasa Ramanujan给出了一个明显更好的渐近公式。赫希霍恩和维拉里诺对拉马努金的结果给出了很好的证明,并给出了近似的误差估计。近年来,包括Nemes, Windschitl和Chen在内的一些人对斯特林公式进行了改进。这里证明了(i)所有这些渐近结果是如何容易地被验证的;(ii) Hirschhorn和Villarino的论证如何允许对Ramanujan的结果进行调整,以提供更好的近似;(iii)进一步调整Ramanujan的结果,可以得到一个新的渐近公式;(iv) Chen的渐近公式优于前面提到的其他公式,新的渐近公式与Chen的渐近公式具有可比性。

Tweaking Ramanujan's Approximation of n!
In 1730 James Stirling, building on the work of Abraham de Moivre, published what is known as Stirling's approximation of $n!$. He gave a good formula which is asymptotic to $n!$. Since then hundreds of papers have given alternative proofs of his result and improved upon it, including notably by Burside, Gosper, and Mortici. However Srinivasa Ramanujan gave a remarkably better asymptotic formula. Hirschhorn and Villarino gave a nice proof of Ramanujan's result and an error estimate for the approximation. In recent years there have been several improvements of Stirling's formula including by Nemes, Windschitl, and Chen. Here it is shown (i) how all these asymptotic results can be easily verified; (ii) how Hirschhorn and Villarino's argument allows a tweaking of Ramanujan's result to give a better approximation; (iii) that a new asymptotic formula can be obtained by further tweaking of Ramanujan's result; (iv) that Chen's asymptotic formula is better than the others mentioned here, and the new asymptotic formula is comparable with Chen's.
