| contents | This paper investigates the classical Gurland ratio of the gamma function and introduces its modified form, $\mathcal{G}^{\star}(x,y)$, which is particularly amenable to analytic expansions. By utilizing the Weierstrass product representation of the gamma function, we derive a finite expansion for the logarithm of $\mathcal{G}^{\star}(x,y)$ involving the Hurwitz zeta function. Explicit upper bounds for the remainder term are established, providing a rigorous basis for convergence analysis. As a direct consequence, we obtain new bilateral inequalities for the Gurland ratio and demonstrate the existence of a specific parameter $t(x,y)$ related to the Mean Value Theorem. Furthermore, we formulate open problems regarding the optimal localization of this parameter. These results extend the classical works of Gurland, Gautschi, and Merkle, offering new insights into the asymptotic behavior of gamma function ratios. |
