# Stirling's formula

This file proves Stirling's formula for the factorial.
It states that $n!$ grows asymptotically like $\sqrt{2\pi n}(\frac{n}{e})^n$.

Also some _global_ bounds on the factorial function and the Stirling sequence are proved.

## Proof outline

The proof follows: <https://proofwiki.org/wiki/Stirling%27s_Formula>.

We proceed in two parts.

**Part 1**: We consider the sequence $a_n$ of fractions $\frac{n!}{\sqrt{2n}(\frac{n}{e})^n}$
and prove that this sequence converges to a real, positive number $a$. For this the two main
ingredients are
- taking the logarithm of the sequence and
- using the series expansion of $\log(1 + x)$.

**Part 2**: We use the fact that the series defined in part 1 converges against a real number $a$
and prove that $a = \sqrt{\pi}$. Here the main ingredient is the convergence of Wallis' product
formula for `π`.

/--
The Stirling sequence is bounded below by `√π`, for all positive naturals. Note that this bound
holds for all `n > 0`, rather than for sufficiently large `n`: it is effective.

/--
Stirling's approximation gives a lower bound for `n!` for all `n`.
The left-hand side is formulated to mimic the usual informal description of the approximation.
See also `factorial_isEquivalent_stirling` which says these are asymptotically equivalent. That
statement gives an upper bound also, but requires sufficiently large `n`. In contrast, this one is
only a lower bound, but holds for all `n`.
See also `log_stirlingSeq_diff_le` for Robbins' sharp bound on successive differences in the
Stirling sequence.

  exact sqrt_pi_le_stirlingSeq hn

/--
Stirling's approximation gives a lower bound for `log n!` for all positive `n`.
The left-hand side is formulated in decreasing order in `n`: the higher order terms are first.
This is a consequence of `le_factorial_stirling`, but is stated separately since the logarithmic
version is sometimes more practical, and having this version eases algebraic calculations for
applications.
See also `log_stirlingSeq_diff_le` for Robbins' sharp bound of `1/(12k(k+1))` on successive
differences in the Stirling sequence, which provides finer control over the convergence rate.
