The central binomial coefficient has the following asymptotic property:
n → ∞ ⟹ ( n 2 n ) ∼ π n 4 n
This result comes directly from Stirling's approximation as follows:
n → ∞ ⟹ n ! ∼ 2 π n ( e n ) n ⟹ ( n 2 n ) = ( n ! ) 2 ( 2 n ) ! ∼ { 2 π n ( e n ) n } 2 4 π n ( e 2 n ) 2 n = 2 π n ( e n ) 2 n 4 n ⋅ 2 π n ( e n ) 2 n = π n 4 n
⟹ ( n 2 n ) ∼ π n 4 n as n → ∞
Similarly, it can be obtained that,
n → ∞ ⟹ ( 2 n 4 n ) ∼ 2 π n 4 2 n
Use these approximations to rewrite the original limit as,
n → ∞ lim f ( n ) = n → ∞ lim ( 4 2 n ⋅ π n 4 n ⋅ 4 n ⋅ 2 π n ) = 2
