Abstract
The asymptotic expansion of digamma function is a starting point for the derivation of approximants for harmonic sums or Euler-Mascheroni constant. It is usual to derive such approximations as values of logarithmic function, which leads to the expansion of the exponentials of digamma function. In this paper the asymptotic expansion of the function is derived and analyzed in details, especially for integer values of parameter . The behavior for integer values of is proved and as a consequence a new identity for Bernoulli polynomials. The obtained formulas are used to improve know inequalities for Euler's constant and harmonic numbers.
