摘要：
Let gamma = 0.577215... be the Euler-Mascheroni constant, and let R-n = Sigma(n)(k=1) 1/k - log (n + 1/2). We prove that for all integers n >= 1. 1/24(n +a)(2) <= R-n - gamma < 1/24(n + b)(2) with the best possible constants a = - 1/root 24[-gamma + 1 - log(3/2)] - 1 = 0.55106 ... and b = 1/2. This refines the result of D. W. DeTemple, who proved that the double inequality holds with a = 1 and b = 0. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
