The best bounds of harmonic sequence

Abstract: For any natural number

n i n m a t h b b N

,

f r a c 1 2 n + f r a c 1 1 - g a m m a - 2 l e s u m_{i = 1}^{n} f r a c 1 i - l n n - g a m m a < f r a c 1 2 n + f r a c 13,

where

g a m m a = 0.57721566490153286... m

denotes Euler's constant. The constants

f r a c 1 1 - g a m m a - 2

and

f r a c 13

are the best possible. As by-products, two double inequalities of the digamma and trigamma functions are established.
