چکیده
A function f : (0,∞) → R is said to be completely monotonic if (−1)nf (n)(x) ≥ 0 for all x > 0 and n = 0, 1, 2, .... In this paper we present several new classes of completely monotonic functions. Our functions have in common that they are defined in terms of the classical gamma, digamma, and polygamma functions. Moreover, we apply one of our monotonicity theorems to prove a new inequality for prime numbers. Some of the given results extend and complement theorems due to Bustoz & Ismail, Clark & Ismail, and other researchers.

Some completely monotonic functions of positive order
We completely determine the set of (α, β) ∈ R2 for which the function e −e ex−1 is convex on (0,∞) and use this result to give some special classes of completely monotonic functions of positive order related to gamma and psi functions.
متن کاملThree Classes of Logarithmically Completely Monotonic Functions Involving Gamma and Psi Functions
By a simple approach, two classes of functions involving Euler’s gamma function and originating from certain problems of traffic flow are proved to be logarithmically completely monotonic and a class of functions involving the psi function is showed to be completely monotonic.
متن کاملSome Classes of Completely Monotonic Functions
We prove: (i) Let Fn(x) = Pn(x) [ e− ( 1 + 1 x )x] and Gn(x) = Pn(x) [( 1 + 1 x )x+1 − e ] , where Pn(x) = xn + ∑n−1 ν=0 cνx ν is a polynomial of degree n ≥ 1 with real coefficients. Fn is completely monotonic if and only if n = 1 and c0 ≥ 11/12; and Gn is completely monotonic if and only if n = 1 and c0 ≥ 1/12. (ii) The functions x 7→ e − (1 + 1/x)x and x 7→ (1 + 1/x)x+1 − e are Stieltjes tran...
متن کاملSome Completely Monotonic Functions Involving the Gamma and Polygamma Functions
In this paper, some logarithmically completely monotonic, strongly completely monotonic and completely monotonic functions related to the gamma, digamma and polygamma functions are established. Several inequalities, whose bounds are best possible, are obtained.
متن کاملOn some inequalities for the gamma and psi functions
We present new inequalities for the gamma and psi functions, and we provide new classes of completely monotonic, star-shaped, and superadditive functions which are related to Γ and ψ. 1 Euler’s gamma function Γ(x) = ∫ ∞ 0 e−ttx−1 dt (x > 0) is one of the most important functions in analysis and its applications. The history and the development of this function are described in detail in a paper...
