Re: [R] integrate lgamma from 0 to Inf

I am late to this discussion so forgive me if I am being redundant. It appears to me that the integral from 0 to infinity of log-gamma may diverge to infinity. Equation 6.1.50 of Abramowitz Stegun shows that a re-expression of lnGamma(x) and the Stirling approximation involves
