Bell Number - Asymptotic Limit and Bounds

Asymptotic Limit and Bounds

Several asymptotic formulae for the Bell numbers are known. One such is

Here

where W is the Lambert W function. (Lovász, 1993)

Moser and Wyman established the expansion

uniformly for as, where and each and are known expressions in .

In (Berend, D. and Tassa, T., 2010), the following bounds were established:

moreover, if then for all ,

where and $~d(x):= \ln \ln (x+1) - \ln \ln x + \frac{1+e^{-1}}{\ln x}\,.$

Famous quotes containing the words limit and/or bounds:

“Moreover, the universe as a whole is infinite, for whatever is limited has an outermost edge to limit it, and such an edge is defined by something beyond. Since the universe has no edge, it has no limit; and since it lacks a limit, it is infinite and unbounded. Moreover, the universe is infinite both in the number of its atoms and in the extent of its void.”
—Epicurus (c. 341–271 B.C.)

“At bounds of boundless void.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
