Infinite Series Solution for Simplifying f(m): Tips and Approximations

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on simplifying the infinite series defined by f(m) = ∑(n=0 to ∞) (m^n (2n)!)/(n!)^3. Participants highlight that the approximation f(m) > ∑(n=0 to ∞) (2m)^n/n! = exp(2m) is not optimal. The use of Stirling's formula is suggested as a method to simplify the factorials involved in the series, aiming for a more accurate approximation of f(m).

I would like to simplify this series as much as possible

[tex]f(m)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{m^n (2n)!}{(n!)^3}[/tex]

Approximates would also be fine.

One can easily notice that

(2n!) / (n!)^2 > 2^n

hence I figured out that [tex]f(m) > \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(2m)^n}{n!}=\exp(2m)[/tex]

but this is not the best approximation, alas, it is far away from the true solution.

What would you suggest? Thanks.

You could apply Stirling's formula to get rid of some factorials...
