Stirlings approximation for $\Gamma(x+\alpha)$, when $\alpha$ is very small but $(x+\alpha)$ is not necessarily small.

32 Views Asked by At

I was wondering, if we can approximate $\Gamma(x+\alpha)$, when $\alpha \to 0$ but $(x+\alpha)$ is not necessarily small using stirling's approximation or any other way. For this case is it possible to get a lower and upper bound?

I was hoping for a similar result , I saw in wikipedia 1,when $x \to \infty $,

$$\Gamma(x+\alpha) = \Gamma(x)x^\alpha$$

I have tried $\Gamma(x+\alpha) \approx \Gamma(x)$, but the results are not great.

Thanks in advance
