Define the functions { f n } n ≥ 0 as follows:
(1) f 0 ( x ) = Γ ( x x + 1 ) , and
(2) f j ( x ) = x 2 d x d f j − 1 ( x ) , for j > 0 .
x → ∞ lim f 6 ( x ) = b γ 4 π 2 a + d γ 2 π 4 c + h π 6 g + j γ ( 2 γ 2 + π 2 ) ζ ( 3 ) + k ζ ( 3 ) 2 + m γ ζ ( 5 ) + γ 6
where a , b , c , d , g , h , j , k , m are positive integers. Submit a + b + c + d + g + h + j + k + m .
Bonus: Find closed form for
x → ∞ lim f k ( x ) , k > 0
in terms of k , π , γ (the Euler–Mascheroni constant), and the zeta function ζ with positive odd integer arguments.

Hint: Imagine f 0 ( x ) = Γ ( x x + 1 ) is expanded in a Laurent Series. Then x → ∞ lim f n ( x ) is the coefficient of x n 1 (why?). There is a general formula for this coefficient involving only f 0 .
