On the maximum of Stirling numbers of the second kind
Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 1973 AbstractA technique is illustrated for finding an estimate of the Stirling numbers of the second kind, Sn, r(1 ⩽ r ⩽ n), as n → ∞, for a certain range of values of r. It is shown how the estimation can be found to any given degree of approximation. Finally, the location of the maximum of Sn, r (1 ⩽ r ⩽ n) and the value of the maximum are computed.
