Do we have :

$$\sup\{\sqrt {n!} - E(\sqrt {n!}); n\in I\!\!N\}=1?$$

Where $E(\cdot)$ is the integer part function, and $n!=1\times 2...\times n$.

    $\begingroup$ By $\sqrt{n}!$ do you mean $\Gamma(1+\sqrt{n})$? $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 16, 2015 at 22:09

    $\begingroup$ Or maybe $\sqrt{n!}$? $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 16, 2015 at 22:18

    $\begingroup$ In general we don't have any good techniques for controlling the distribution of an exponentially growing sequence modulo 1. For instance nobody knows how to prove that the sup of $\{ 10^n \pi \}$ is $1$, though everyone believes it is true. I don't see any reason why $\sqrt{n!}$ would be any easier than $10^n \pi$ (or $10^n \sqrt{2}$, for that matter). $\endgroup$
