Abstract
We present improvements of approximation formula for Wallis ratio related to a class of inequalities stated in [D.-J. Zhao, On a two-sided inequality involving Wallis’s formula, Math. Practice Theory, 34 (2004), 166-168], [Y. Zhao and Q. Wu, Wallis inequality with a parameter, J. Inequal. Pure Appl. Math., 7(2) (2006), Art. 56] and [C. Mortici, Completely monotone functions and the Wallis ratio, Applied Mathematics Letters, 25 (2012), 717-722]. Some sharp inequalities are obtained as a result of monotonicity of some functions involving gamma function.
