Abstract

Let α>0\alpha>0 be a constant, let 0\ell\ge0 be an integer, and let Γ(z)\Gamma(z) denote the classical Euler gamma function. With the help of the integral representation for the Riemann zeta function ζ(z)\zeta(z), by virtue of a monotonicity rule for the ratio of two integrals with a parameter, and by means of complete monotonicity and another property of the function 1et1\frac{1}{e^t-1} and its derivatives, the authors present that, (1) for 0\ell\ge0, the function \begin{equation*} x\mapsto\binom{x+\alpha+\ell}{\alpha}\frac{\zeta(x+\alpha)}{\zeta(x)} \end{equation*} is increasing from (1,)(1,\infty) onto (0,)(0,\infty), where (zw)\binom{z}{w} denotes the extended binomial coefficient; (2) for 1\ell\ge1, the function xΓ(x+)ζ(x)x\mapsto\Gamma(x+\ell)\zeta(x) is logarithmically convex on (1,)(1,\infty).
