Evaluate the limit: $limlimits_ntoinftyfraclog_a n!n^b, ninBbb N$

Evaluate the limit:
$$
lim_ntoinftyfraclog_a n!n^b, ninBbb N
$$




I've tried to consider two cases: $b < 0$, $b ge 0$. First $b < 0$. This case is simple since the limit becomes:
$$
lim_ntoinftyfraclog_a n!n^b = lim_ntoinftyn^blog_a n! = +infty
$$



Now consider the case when $b ge 0$, then we may apply Cesaro-Stolz theorem, then the limit is equal to the following limit:
$$
beginalign
lim_ntoinfty fraclog_a n!n^b &= lim_ntoinfty fraclog_a (n+1)! - log_an!(n+1)^b - n^b \
&= lim_ntoinfty fraclog_a(n+1)(n+1)^b - n^b
endalign
$$



I've shown earlier that:
$$
lim_ntoinftyleft((n+1)^b - n^bright) = 0, textif bin(0, 1)\
lim_ntoinftyleft((n+1)^b - n^bright) = +infty, textif b > 1\
$$



For $b = 1$ the limit becomes:
$$
lim_ntoinftylog_an!over n = lim_ntoinftylog_asqrt[n]n! = +infty
$$



So it looks like:
$$
b le 1 implies lim_ntoinftyfraclog_a n!n^b = +infty
$$



Here I'm not sure how to handle the case for $b > 1$. What are the steps to handle the case for $b > 1$? I know the limit is $0$, but want to justify that.

For $b>1$, use MVT for $f(x)=x^b$, i.e. $exists cin(n,n+1)$ and $n>0$ s.t.
$$(n+1)^b - n^b=bc^b-1 Rightarrow \
b(n+1)^b-1>(n+1)^b - n^b > bn^b-1$$

and from some $n$ onwards, assuming $lna>0$:
$$0<fraclog_a(n+1)b(n+1)^b-1=
fracln(n+1)b(n+1)^b-1lna <
fraclog_a(n+1)(n+1)^b - n^b <
fraclog_a(n+1)bn^b-1=
fracln(n+1)bn^b-1lna$$

because $b-1>0$, RHS goes to $0$ and by squeezing, the limit is $0$. There are quite a few proofs for RHS going to $0$, for example here (proposition 2.2) and here (proposition 2).



For $lna<0$ we have
$$0>fracln(n+1)b(n+1)^b-1lna>
fraclog_a(n+1)(n+1)^b - n^b >
fracln(n+1)bn^b-1lna$$

we the same result.
