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.

Three 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.

Some 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...

On 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...
