A Probabilistic Approach To a Conjecture of Ramanujan
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The asymptotic behavior of n-n en n! (1/2-Σ nje-n/j!) was conjectured by Ramanujan to be 1/3 + 4/135(n+kn) where kn ∈ [2/21,8/45]. This conjecture has given rise to serval related problems concerning the asymptotic behavior of series. We shall use some standard results in probability theory to try to better understand these problems.
Keywords
