FORMULA
Equals limit n->infinity (Product_{j = 1..n} BarnesG(j + 1/2) / BarnesG(j)) / (A^(1/2) * n^(n^2/4 - n/8 - 1/24) * (2*Pi)^(n/4 - 3/16) / exp(n*(3*n-1)/8)), where A = A074962 = 1.2824271291... is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant.
Equals limit n->infinity A055746(n) / (2^(n^3/3 + n^2 - n/8 - 71/48) * exp(9*n^2/8 + 5*n/2 - 7/24) * A^(3*n/2 + 4) / (n^(3*n^2/4 + 21*n/8 + 9/4) * Pi^(n^2/4 + 5*n/4 + 27/16))).
From Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 02 2019: (Start)
Equals 2^(1/8) * Pi^(3/16) * exp(1/24 - 7*Zeta(3)/(32*Pi^2)) / A, where A is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant A074962.
Equals exp(-1/24 - 7*Zeta(3)/(32*Pi^2) + Zeta'(-1) + log(2)/8 + 3*log(Pi)/16).
