چکیده

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-gamma functions obtained by Bustoz, Ismail, Lorch, Muldoon, and other mathemat cians. 1. Preliminaries In this paper, we need some definitions, notions, and notations below. 1.1. The gamma and q-gamma functions. It is well known that the classical Euler’s gamma function may be defined for Rez > 0 by

Wendel's and Gautschi's inequalities: Refinements, extensions, and a class of logarithmically completely monotonic functions

In the article, presented are sufficient and necessary conditions for a class of functions involving the ratio of two gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic. From this, some inequalities for bounding the ratio of two gamma functions are refined, extended and sharpened readily, and double inequalities on the divided differences of the psi and polygamma functions are derived s...

Bounds for the Ratio of Two Gamma Functions—from Gautschi’s and Kershaw’s Inequalities to Completely Monotonic Functions

Abstract. In this expository and survey paper, along one of main lines of bounding the ratio of two gamma functions, we look back and analyse 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 ...

Supplements to a class of logarithmically completely monotonic functions associated with the gamma function

In this article, a necessary and sufficient condition and a necessary condition are established for a function involving the gamma function to be logarithmically completely monotonic on (0,∞). As applications of the necessary and sufficient condition, some inequalities for bounding the psi and polygamma functions and the ratio of two gamma functions are derived. This is a continuator of the pap...

A logarithmically completely monotonic function involving the ratio of gamma functions

In the paper, the authors first survey and review some logarithmically completely monotonic functions involving the gamma function and its various ratios, and then find sufficient conditions for a function involving the ratio of two gamma functions and originating from the coding gain to be logarithmically completely monotonic.
