I. Aptekarev and T. Rivoal. Using multiple Jacobi-Laguerre orthogonal polynomials we present rational approximations to the quotient of values of the Gamma function at rational points. As a limit case of our result, we obtain new explicit formulas for numerators and denominators of the Aptekarev approximants to Euler's constant.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-12-09T06:00:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "rational approximations", "gamma values", "eulers constant", "gamma function", "multiple jacobi-laguerre orthogonal polynomials" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1010.0429H" } } }
