For large n , the Stieltjes constants grow rapidly in absolute value, and change signs in a complex pattern.
Further information related to the numerical evaluation of Stieltjes constants may be found in works of Keiper,[ 13] Kreminski,[ 14] Plouffe[ 15] and Johansson[ 16] . The latter author provided values of the Stieltjes constants up to n = 100000, accurate to over 10000 digits each. The numerical values can be retrieved from the LMFDB [1] .

{\displaystyle \gamma _{n}(1)=\gamma _{n}.\;}

{\displaystyle \gamma _{1}{\biggl (}{\frac {m}{n}}{\biggr )}-\gamma _{1}{\biggl (}1-{\frac {m}{n}}{\biggr )}=2\pi \sum _{l=1}^{n-1}\sin {\frac {2\pi ml}{n}}\cdot \ln \Gamma {\biggl (}{\frac {l}{n}}{\biggr )}-\pi (\gamma +\ln 2\pi n)\cot {\frac {m\pi }{n}}}
where m and n are positive integers such that m <n .
This formula has been long-time attributed to Almkvist and Meurman who derived it in 1990s.[ 20] However, very recently Blagouchine found that this identity, albeit in a slightly different form, was first obtained by Carl Malmsten in 1846.[ 5] [ 21]

Second generalized Stieltjes constant
The second generalized Stieltjes constant is much less studied than the first constant. Blagouchine showed that, similarly to the first generalized Stieltjes constant, the second generalized Stieltjes constant at rational argument may be evaluated via the following formula

A similar result was later obtained by Coffey by another method.[ 22]
