We consider differences between $\log \Gamma(x)$ and truncations of certain classical asymptotic expansions in inverse powers of $x-\lambda$ whose coefficients are expressed in terms of Bernoulli polynomials $B_n(\lambda)$, and we obtain…
This work has a purpose to collect selected facts about the completely monotone (CM) functions that can be found in books and papers devoted to different areas of mathematics. We opted for lesser known ones, and for those which may help…
In this note, we present new properties for a sequence arising in some refinements of Carleman's inequality. Our results extend some results of Yang [Approximations for constant e and their applications J. Math. Anal. Appl. 262 (2001)…
We mainly establish a monotonicity property between some special Riemann sums of a convex function $f$ on $[a,b]$, which in particular yields that $\frac{b-a}{n+1}\sum_{i=0}^n f\left(a+i\frac{b-a}{n}\right)$ is decreasing while…
The beta distribution is a two-parameter family of probability distributions whose distribution function is the (regularised) incomplete beta function. In this paper, the inverse incomplete beta function is studied analytically as…
We derive properties of $\pi(x)$ reminiscent of those of the logarithm and absolute value functions. Two of these properties are similar to the relations defining the linearity of a function. Several applications of these properties of…
In this paper, we present the necessary and sufficient conditions such that several functions involving $R\left( x\right) =\psi \left( x+1/2\right) -\ln x$ with a parameter are completely monotone on $\left( 0,\infty \right) $, where $\psi…
In the present paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are established for a function involving divided differences of the digamma and trigamma functions to be completely monotonic. Consequently, necessary and sufficient conditions are…
We introduce the notion of Dunkl completely monotonic functions on $\left(-\sigma,\sigma\right), \sigma>0$. We establish a restrictive version of the analogue of Schoenberg's theorem in Dunkl setting.
In the present paper, we give two new proofs for the necessary and sufficient condition $\alpha\le1$ such that the function $x^\alpha[\ln x-\psi(x)]$ is completely monotonic on $(0,\infty)$.
We characterize of the $q$-Bernstein functions in terms of $q$-Laplace transform. Moreover, we present several results of $q$-completely monotonic, $q$-log completely monotonic and $q$-Bernstein functions.

In the paper, the author studies properties of three functions relating to the exponential function and the existence of partitions of unity, including accurate and explicit computation of their derivatives, analyticity, complete…
In this present investigation, we found a set of sufficient conditions to be imposed on the parameters of the Fox H-functions which allow us to conclude that it is non-negative. As applications, various new facts regarding the Fox-Wright…
We establish some monotonicity results and functional inequalities for modified Lommel functions of the first kind. In particular, we obtain new Tur\'{a}n type inequalities and bounds for ratios of modified Lommel functions of the first…
In this article, we study exponents which preserve complete monotonicity of functions on lattices. We prove that for any completely monotone function $f$ on a finite lattice, $f^\alpha$ is completely monotone for all $\alpha\geq c$, where…
We show that F_a(x)=\frac{\ln \Gamma (x+1)}{x\ln(ax)} is a Pick function for a\ge 1 and find its integral representation. We also consider the function f(x)=(\frac{\pi^{x/2}}{\Gamma(1+x/2)})^{1/(x\ln x)} and show that \ln f(x+1) is a…
In this paper, we prove that for $x+y>0$ and $y+1>0$ the inequality {equation*} \frac{[\Gamma(x+y+1)/\Gamma(y+1)]^{1/x}}{[\Gamma(x+y+2)/\Gamma(y+1)]^{1/(x+1)}} <\biggl(\frac{x+y}{x+y+1}\biggr)^{1/2} {equation*} is valid if $x>1$ and…
A function $\rho:[0,\infty)\to(0,1]$ is a completely monotonic function if and only if $\rho(\Vert\mathbf{x}\Vert^2)$ is positive definite on $\mathbb{R}^d$ for all $d$ and thus it represents the correlation function of a weakly stationary…
Monotonicity properties of the ratio $$ \log \frac{f(x+a_1)\cdots f(x+a_n)}{f(x+b_1)\cdots f(x+b_n)}, $$ where $f$ is an entire function are investigated. Earlier results for Euler's gamma function and other entire functions of genus 1 are…
