Abstract: In the paper, we first survey some results on inequalities for bounding harmonic numbers or Euler-Mascheroni constant, and then we establish a new sharp double inequality for bounding harmonic numbers as follows: For , the double inequality -frac{1}{12n^2+{2(7-12gamma)}/{(2gamma-1)}}le H(n)-ln n-frac1{2n}-gamma<-frac{1}{12n^2+6/5} is valid, with equality in the left-hand side only when , where the scalars and are the best possible.
The authors collect some inequalities and establish the following sharp double inequality for bounding the \(n\)-th harmonic number \(H(n)\) \[ -\frac 1{12n^2+2(7-12\gamma)/(2\gamma-1)}\leq H(n)-\ln n-\frac 1{2n}-\gamma< -\frac 1{12n^2+6/5} \] with equality in the left-hand side only when \(n=1\), where the scalars \(\frac{2(7-12\gamma)}{(2\gamma-1)}= 0.950\dots\) and \(\tfrac 65\) are best possible.
