Bounds for the logarithm of the Euler gamma function and its derivatives

چکیده
We consider differences between log Γ(x) and truncations of certain classical asymptotic expansions in inverse powers of x − λ whose coefficients are expressed in terms of Bernoulli polynomials Bn(λ), and we obtain conditions under which these differences are strictly completely monotonic. In the symmetric cases λ = 0 and λ = 1/2, we recover results of Sonin, Nörlund and Alzer. Also we show how to derive these asymptotic expansions using the functional equation of the logarithmic derivative of the Euler gamma function, the representation of 1/x as a difference F (x + 1) − F (x), and a backward induction.

New Criteria for Existence of a Class of Generalized Euler-types Constants
One of the most important mathematical constants is Euler-Mascheroni constant that is the limit of the sequence -------------------------------- and is denoted by gamma. Some other developed constants known as Euler type constants are introduced in order to generalize the above constant. In the present paper, inspired by the functional sequence derivative of the limit summand of functions (i...
متن کاملCompletely monotonic functions of positive order and asymptotic expansions of the logarithm of Barnes double gamma function and Euler’s gamma function
In this paper it is established that the remainders in asymptotic expansions of the logarithm of Barnes double gamma function and Euler’s gamma function are (up to a sign) completely monotonic functions of order comparable with the decay of the remainder in the expansion. We first recall some definitions and give some preliminary results. A function f : (0, ∞) → R is called completely monotonic...

متن کاملEstimating the Time of a Step Change in Gamma Regression Profiles Using MLE Approach
Sometimes the quality of a process or product is described by a functional relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables referred to as profile. In most researches in this area the response variable is assumed to be normally distributed; however, occasionally in certain applications, the normality assumption is violated. In these cases the Generalized Linear Mod...

In the most real-world applications, the parameters of the problem are not well understood. This is caused the problem data to be uncertain and indicated with intervals. Interval mathematical models include interval linear programming and interval nonlinear programming problems.A model of interval nonlinear programming problems for decision making based on uncertainty is interval quadratic prog...
