Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for a Function Involving Divided Differences of the Di- and Tri-gamma Functions to Be Completely Monotonic
In the present paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are established for a function involving divided differences of the digamma and trigamma functions to be completely monotonic. Consequently, necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for a function involving the ratio of two gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic, and some double inequalities are deduced for 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 کاملBounds 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 ...
متن کاملSupplements 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...
متن کاملWendel'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...
