Abstract:
Among various approximation formulas for the gamma function, Smith showed that [Formula: see text] which is a little-known but accurate and simple one. In this note, we prove that the function [Formula: see text] is strictly increasing and concave on [Formula: see text], which shows that Smith's approximation is just an upper one.
