Bounds for the Ratio of Two Gamma Functions: from Gautschi’s and Kershaw’s Inequalities to Complete Monotonicity
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract In the expository and survey paper, along one of main lines of bounding the ratio of two gamma functions, the author looks back and analyses some inequalities, the complete monotonicity of several functions involving ratios of two gamma or q-gamma functions, the logarithmically complete monotonicity of a function involving the ratio of two gamma functions, some new bounds for the ratio of two gamma functions and divided differences of polygamma functions, and related monotonicity results.

متن کاملBounds for the Ratio of Two Gamma Functions-from Wendel's and Related Inequalities to Logarithmically Completely Monotonic Functions
In the survey paper, along one of several main lines of bounding the ratio of two gamma functions, the authors retrospect and analyse Wendel’s double inequality, Kazarinoff’s refinement of Wallis’ formula, Watson’s monotonicity, Gautschi’s double inequality, Kershaw’s first double inequality, and the (logarithmically) complete monotonicity results of functions involving ratios of two gamma or q...
متن کاملBounds for the Ratio of Two Gamma Functions—from Wendel’s Limit to Elezović-giordano-pečarić’s Theorem
In the survey paper, along one of main lines of bounding the ratio of two gamma functions, we look back and analyse some known results, including Wendel’s, Gurland’s, Kazarinoff’s, Gautschi’s, Watson’s, Chu’s, LazarevićLupaş’s, Kershaw’s and Elezović-Giordano-Pečarić’s inequalities, claim, monotonic and convex properties. On the other hand, we introduce some related advances on the topic of bou...
متن کاملA Class of Completely Monotonic Functions Involving Divided Differences of the Psi and Polygamma Functions and Some Applications
A class of functions involving the divided differences of the psi function and the polygamma functions and originating from Kershaw’s double inequality are proved to be completely monotonic. As applications of these results, the monotonicity and convexity of a function involving ratio of two gamma functions and originating from establishment of the best upper and lower bounds in Kershaw’s doubl...
متن کاملThe Best Bounds in Gautschi-kershaw Inequalities
By employing the convolution theorem of Laplace transforms, some asymptotic formulas and integral representations of the gamma, psi and polygamma functions, and other analytic techniques, this note provides an alternative proof of a monotonicity and convexity property by N. Elezović, C. Giordano and J. Pečarić in [4] to establish the best bounds in GautschiKershaw inequalities. Moreover, some (...
