Abstract

We produce trigonometric expansions for Jacobi theta functions\\ θj(u,τ),j=1,2,3,4\theta_j(u,\tau), j=1,2,3,4\ where τ=iπt,t>0\tau=i\pi t, t > 0. This permits us to prove that\ logθj(u,t)θj(0,t),j=2,3,4\log \frac{\theta_j(u, t)}{\theta_j(0, t)}, j=2,3,4 and logθ1(u,t)πθ1(0,t)\log \frac{\theta_1(u, t)}{\pi \theta'_1(0, t)} as well as δθjδuθj\frac{\frac{\delta\theta_j}{\delta u}}{\theta_j} as functions of tt are completely monotonic. We also interested in the quotients Sj(u,v,t)=θj(u/2,iπt)θj(u/2,iπt)S_j(u,v,t) = \frac{\theta_j(u/2,i\pi t)}{\theta_j(u/2,i\pi t)}. For fixed u,vu,v such that 0u<v<10\leq u < v < 1 we prove that the functions (δδtSj)Sj\frac{(\frac{\delta}{\delta t}S_j)}{S_j} for j=1,4j=1,4 as well as the functions (δδtSj)Sj-\frac{(\frac{\delta}{\delta t}S_j)}{S_j} for j=2,3j=2,3 are completely monotonic for t]0,[t \in ]0,\infty[.\\ {\it Key words and phrases} : theta functions, elliptic functions, complete monotonicity.
