Euler-Mascheroni constant as local minima of a function

49 Views Asked by At

Let define the function $x>0$:

$$f(x)=\Gamma\Big(\frac{1}{x}\Big)-x$$

Then $x_0$ such that :

$$f(x_0)=-\gamma$$

Define a local minima (see here) of the function $f(x)$.(We have the Gamma function and the negative Euler-Mascheroni constant)

To prove it I have tried derivative we have $x>0$ :

$$f'(x)=-\frac{\Gamma\Big(\frac{1}{x}\Big)\psi\Big(\frac{1}{x}\Big)}{x^2}-1$$

But we want :

$$f'(x)=0$$

Or :

$$\Gamma\Big(\frac{1}{x}\Big)\psi\Big(\frac{1}{x}\Big)=x^2$$

And now the best things I can do is to use Newton's method to check my result .

Question

Is there an hidden closed form here ?

How to solve it ?

Thanks in advance .
