How do I find the finite limits of this infinite product?

What is... $$\lim_{\omega \to \infty} \left( {1 \over {a^{\omega}}} \cdot \prod_{N=1}^{\omega} (1+e^{b \cdot c^{-N}}) \right)$$ I'd like closed form solutions, and in this case that means any ...

Question on series being expressed in closed form

Given an integer $k$ and $0\leq \alpha \leq 1$, let $f_1(\alpha)=1/k$ and $f_{i+1}(\alpha)=\frac{(k-1)f_i(\alpha) + (f_i(\alpha)^{1/\alpha} + 1)^\alpha}{k}$. Consider the function $g(\alpha) = \lim_{...

Closed formula for the asymptotic limit of a definite integral

I would like to solve the following integral: $$ I_0 (a,b)= \int_0^1 dx\int_0^{1-x} dz \frac{1}{a z (z-1)+a x z + x(1-b)}$$ in the limit where $b$ is small ($a$ and $b$ are positive constants). ...

A long nasty limit problem: $\lim_{x \to \infty}\left[8e\,\sqrt[\Large x]{x^{x+1}(x-1)!}- 8x^2-4x \ln x - \ln^2 x - (4x + 2 \ln x) \ln 2\pi\right]$

Does the following limit admit a closed-form? $$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left[8e\,\sqrt[\Large x]{x^{x+1}(x-1)!}- 8x^2-4x \ln x - \ln^2 x - (4x + 2 \ln x) \ln 2\pi\right]$$ My professor gives this ...

Integral $S_\ell(r) = \int_0^{\pi}\int_{\phi}^{\pi}\frac{(1+ r \cos \psi)^{\ell+1}}{(1+ r \cos \phi)^\ell} \rm d\psi \ \rm d\phi $

Is there a closed form for $|r|<1$ and $\ell>0$ integer? The solution for the special cases $\ell=2$ and $4$ would also be interesting if the general case is not available. Integrating ...

Limit at Infinity $\lim\limits_{m\to\infty}\frac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^m\cot^{2n+1}\left(\frac{k\pi}{2m+1}\right)}{m^{2n+1}}$

How can I prove the following equality? $$\lim_{m\to{\infty}}\frac{\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^m\cot^{2n+1}\left(\frac{k\pi}{2m+1}\right)}{m^{2n+1}}=\frac{2^{2n+1}\zeta(2n+1)}{\pi^{2n+1}}$$
