How could we find the large-$n$ asymptotic of $$\int\_{1}^{e^n}\left(1-\frac{\ln x}{n}\right)^n\,dx.$$ 
I have a suspicion that this is $\sqrt{n}$.



Asymptotic of integral $\int_{1}^{e^n}(1-\frac{\ln(x)}{n})^n\,dx$
Denote $t=\ln(x)/n$, then $t$ varies from 0 to 1 and the the integral reads as $$n\int\_0^1 ((1-t) e^{t})^ndt.$$
We have $(1-t)e^t=(1-t)(1+t+t^2/2+\ldots)=1-t^2/2+O(t^3)=\exp(-t^2/2+O(t^3))$ for small $t$ and $(1-t)e^t<1$ for $0<t\leqslant 1$. Thus by Laplace method the asymptotics is the same as for the integral $$n\int\_0^1e^{-nt^2/2}dt=\sqrt{n}\int\_0^{\sqrt{n}}e^{-s^2/2}ds\sim \sqrt{\frac{\pi n}2}.$$
