Abstract

In the paper the authors alternatively prove that the function xα[lnpxx+p+1ψp(x)]x^\alpha\big[\ln\frac{px}{x+p+1}-\psi_p(x)\big] is completely monotonic on (0,)(0,\infty) if and only if α1\alpha \le 1, where pNp\in\mathbb{N} and ψp(x)\psi_p(x) is the pp-analogue of the classical psi function ψ(x)\psi(x). This generalizes a known result.
