Several completely monotone functions related to DeTemple's sequence

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2014-09-24 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we present the necessary and sufficient conditions such that several functions involving R(x)=ψ(x+1/2)lnxR\left( x\right) =\psi \left( x+1/2\right) -\ln x with a parameter are completely monotone on (0,)\left( 0,\infty \right) , where ψ\psi is the digamma function. This generalizes some known results and verifies a conjecture posed by Chen.
