. We're sorry about the hassle.
Yup.....this is what I did. @Rohan Shinde But, do you have any good reference for the proof??
@Aaghaz Mahajan Which proof ,the asymptotic expansion one? If yes then I think this one might help.

Note that the numerator is nothing but ( G ( n + 2 ) ) n 2 1
Where G ( z ) is the Barnes G-function. Take log with base e sides to get n → ∞ lim ( n 2 1 ln ( G ( n + 2 ) ) − α ln n ) = β
Using the asymptotic expansion of Barnes G-function and adjusting the coefficients(for limit existence) we get α = 2 1 and β = − 4 3
PS:
Asymptotic expansion of Barnes G-function is ln ( G ( n + 1 ) ) ∼ 2 n 2 ln n − 1 2 1 ln n − 1 2 9 n 2 − 1 + 2 n ln 2 π − ln A
Where A is Glaisher-Kinkelin constant
