A bound involving Stirling numbers of the second kind and the asymptotics
Let $S_{n,r}$ denote the Stirling number of the second kind. Define $A_{n,r}:=\frac{\binom{n+r-1}{n}(n+r)!}{S_{n+r,r}r!}$. I want to prove:
$A_{n,1}\ge A_{n,2}\ge..\ge A_{n,r}\ge \lim_{r\to\infty} ...

A combinatorial bound involving Stirling numbers of the second type
My previous question was solved in a very elegant way, hopefully this (seemingly more complicated) case is also easy for experts.
I need the inequality
$\Big(\prod^r_{i=1}p_i\Big)\sum^n_{j=0}(-1)^j\...
