When I try this:
sage: y = gamma(x+1/2)/gamma(x)/sqrt(x)
sage: limit(y,x=oo)
0
sage: plot(y,x,1,50)
I observe that the limit appears to be 1, not 0.
This is how it happens in Maxima.
(%i2) y:gamma(x+1/2)/(sqrt(x)*gamma(x));
1
gamma(x + -)
2
(%o2) ----------------
sqrt(x) gamma(x)
(%i3) limit(y,x,0);
(%o3) 0
I've reported this at https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/bugs/2621/ - if
someone can open a Sage ticket for this, it would be helpful, as I don't
have tons of internet time right now.
