Show that $ lim_{jtoinfty}prod_{n=j}^{mj}frac{pi}{2tan^{-1}(kn)}=m^{frac{2}{kpi}}$

MathWorld states that



$displaystyle lim_{jtoinfty}prod_{n=j}^{2j}frac{pi}{2tan^{-1}n}=4^{frac{1}{pi}}$
(equation 130)



With a calculator, I find a general formula:



$displaystyle lim_{jtoinfty}prod_{n=j}^{mj}frac{pi}{2tan^{-1}(kn)}=m^{frac{2}{kpi}}$



But I have not found a proof for this. Any proof would be appreciated.

          It is easier to analyze the behavior of the limit if you take logarithm. Indeed, write



          $$ P_j = P_j(m,k) = prod_{n=j}^{mj} frac{pi}{2arctan(kn)} $$



          for the expression inside the limit. Then using the relation $arctan(x) = frac{pi}{2} - arctan(frac{1}{x})$ which holds for $x > 0$, we find that



          $$ logleft(frac{pi}{2arctan(x)}right)
          = -logleft(1 - tfrac{2}{pi}arctanleft(tfrac{1}{x}right) right)
          = tfrac{2}{pi x} + mathcal{O}left(x^{-2}right)
          quad text{as} quad x to infty.$$



          So it follows that



          $$
          log P_j
          = sum_{n=j}^{mj} left( logfrac{pi}{2} - logarctan(kn)right)
          = sum_{n=j}^{mj} left( frac{2}{pi kn} + mathcal{O}(n^{-2}) right).
          $$



          By noting that this is a Riemann sum with a vanishing error term, we realize that $log P_n$ converges to $int_{1}^{m} frac{2}{pi kx} , dx
          = frac{2}{pi k}log m$ as $ntoinfty$. Exponentiation then yields $ P_n to m^{frac{2}{pi k}} $ as expected.
