Asymptotic behavior of Gamma cdf, gamma function, and incomplete gamma function

90 Views Asked by At

For the sake of this post, we only look at real-valued gamma functions.

We know that $\lim_{b \to \infty}\gamma(a,b)=\Gamma(a)$, so we have

$$\lim_{b \to \infty} \frac{\gamma(a,b)}{\Gamma(a)}=1.$$

How to prove asymptotic limit of an incomplete Gamma function shows that

$$\lim_{a \to \infty} \frac{\gamma(a,b)}{\Gamma(a)}=0.$$

I also remembered one result, although I cannot recall the reference:

$$\lim_{a \to \infty} \frac{\Gamma(a,a)}{\Gamma(a)}=\frac{1}{2}.$$

Therefore, we also have $$\lim_{a \to \infty} \frac{\gamma(a,a)}{\Gamma(a)}=\frac{1}{2}.$$

I am curious about the following limit, can we conjecture that for general $a>0,b>0$: $$\lim_{k \to \infty} \frac{\gamma(ak,bk)}{\Gamma(ak)}=\frac{1}{2}?$$

Thank you.
