"See also" section

[edit]

I am somewhat confused by the entries of the "See also" section:

Most of these entries seem to me only vaguely related to the article's topic. For example, the Bohr–Mollerup theorem shows that the Gamma function

is (in some technical sense) the unique extension of the factorial function to the real and complex numbers, but how is this relevant for an article about the positive real numbers? Similarly, the Fransén–Robinson constant is

so, yes, well, it's an integral over the positive reals, but is there any other way in which this constant is significantly related to them? And so on. – Tea2min (talk) 14:57, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As acknowledged for Bohr-Mollerup and Fransen-Robinson, the integral is over the positive reals. Readers can confirm that each of the links is directly concerned with the mathematical structure described by this article. − Rgdboer (talk) 18:41, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
