Review text

Continuing his paper in Publ. Cent. Rech. Math. Pures, Sér. I 21, 4-7 (1989; Zbl 0758.33002), the author offers several limit and inequality results on expressions formed from the gamma function. A typical one is the following: The function \(L\), defined by \[ L(x)=\Gamma(x+1)^{1/x} - \Gamma(x)^{1/(x-1)}, \] converges decreasingly to \(1/e\). [It is unfortunate that the symbol \(L\) is also used as in \(L(a,b)=(b-a)/(\ln b - \ln a)\) ]. The known relation \[ \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}([(n+1)!]^{1/(n+1)}-(n!)^{1/n})=1/e \] [misprint in paper] is a corollary.
