I used Riemann's sum... BTW, what is the limit of the generalized mean(we took m = − 1 , 0 , 1 , 2 only) case?
It is Glaisher–Kinkelin constant and not what you have written ..

We have the formula for a , b ∈ N and setting a = b = 1 we deduce ( a + b ) n = r = 0 ∑ n ( r n ) a n − r b r = r = 0 ∑ n ( r n ) = 2 n
and hence our n A n = n n 2 . Let us denote X n = r = 1 ∏ n − 1 ( r n ) = ( n ! ) n + 1 1 ( r = 1 ∏ n r r ) 2 Also we have the approximation for ( n ! ) n + 1 1 ( r = 1 ∏ n r r ) 2 ≈ ( n ! ) n + 1 1 ( A n 1 2 6 n 2 + 6 n + 1 e − 4 n 2 ) 2 using the Stirling approximation for n ! and simplifying we have X n ≈ ( 2 π ) 2 n + 1 n 6 3 n + 2 A 2 e 2 n 2 + 2 n where A is Glashier-Kinkelin Constant and required we have n G n = ( n X n ) n 1 ≈ 2 n 2 π n A n 2 2 e 2 n 1 + n Therefore our limit n → ∞ lim ( A n G n ) n 1 = n → ∞ lim 2 n n ⋅ 2 n 2 π n A n 2 2 e 2 n 1 + n = 2 e 2 1
