In mathematics, the Glaisher–Kinkelin constant or Glaisher's constant, typically denoted ''A'', is a mathematical constant, related to the K-function and the Barnes G-function. The constant appears in a number of sums and integrals, especially those involving Gamma functions and zeta functions. It is named after mathematicians James Whitbread Lee Glaisher and Hermann Kinkelin. Its approximate value is: : . The Glaisher–Kinkelin constant can be given by the limit: : where is the K-function. This formula displays a similarity between ''A'' and which is perhaps best illustrated by noting Stirling's formula: : which shows that just as is obtained from approximation of the function , ''A'' can also be obtained from a similar approximation to the function . An equivalent definition for ''A'' involving the Barnes G-function, given by where is the gamma function is: :. The Glaisher–Kinkelin constant also appears in evaluations of the derivatives of the Riemann zeta function, such as: : : where is the Euler–Mascheroni constant. The latter formula leads directly to the following product found by Glaisher: : The following are some integrals that involve this constant: : : A series representation for this constant follows from a series for the Riemann zeta function given by Helmut Hasse. : ==References== * * (Provides a variety of relationships.) * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glaisher–Kinkelin constant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
