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 this article, logarithmically complete monotonicity properties of some functions such as $\frac1{[\Gamma(x+1)]^{1/x}}$, $\frac{[{\Gamma(x+\alpha+1)}]^{1/(x+\alpha)}}{[{\Gamma(x+1)}]^{1/x}}$, $\frac{[\Gamma(x+1)]^{1/x}}{(x+1)^\alpha}$ and…

We consider two operations on the Mittag-Leffler function which cancel the exponential term in the expansion at infinity, and generate a completely monotonic function. The first one is the action of a certain differential-difference…

We prove that certain quotients of entire functions are characteristic functions. Under some conditions, the probability measure corresponding to a characteristic function of that type has a density which can be expressed as a generalized…
We propose a notion of operator monotonicity for functions of several variables, which extends the well known notion of operator monotonicity for functions of only one variable. The notion is chosen such that a fundamental relationship…
