On the Composition of Completely Monotonic Functions and Completely Monotonic Sequences and Related Questions

چکیده

If, in addition, f(x) is continuous at x = a, then it is called completely monotonic over [a, b), with similar definitions for (a, b] and [a, b]. A function is absolutely monotonic if all its derivatives are non-negative. A detailed study of these concepts can be found, for example, in [11, Chapter IV]. Our chief concern here is for the standard case in which a = 0, b = + 00. For this, S. N. Bernstein established the following results (cf. [11, Theorems 12a and 12b, pp. 160-161]).

Some Completely Monotonic Functions Involving the Gamma and Polygamma Functions

In this paper, some logarithmically completely monotonic, strongly completely monotonic and completely monotonic functions related to the gamma, digamma and polygamma functions are established. Several inequalities, whose bounds are best possible, are obtained.

Stieltjes-Pick-Bernstein-Schoenberg and their connection to complete monotonicity

This paper is mainly a survey of published results. We recall the definition of positive definite and (conditionally) negative definite functions on abelian semigroups with involution, and we consider three main examples: Rk, [0,∞[k, N0–the first with the inverse involution and the two others with the identical involution. Schoenberg’s theorem explains the possibility of constructing rotation i...

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.

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...

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.
