In this note, we prove that for all $x \in (0 , 1)$, we have: $$ \log\Gamma(x) = \frac{1}{2} \log\pi + \pi \boldsymbol{\eta} \left(\frac{1}{2} - x\right) - \frac{1}{2} \log\sin(\pi x) + \frac{1}{\pi} \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{\log n}{n}…

Let $[q] = \{0,1,\ldots,q-1\}$, let $\Delta[q]$ denote the simplex of probability measures on $[q]$, and let $\gamma$ denote the Lebesgue measure normalized on $\Delta[q]$. We prove that for any symmetric monotone function $f \colon[q]^n…

We investigate conditions for logarithmic complete monotonicity of product ratios of gamma and q-gamma functions whose arguments are linear functions of the variable. We give necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of nonnegativity of…

In this paper we present several new classes of logarithmically completely monotonic functions. Our functions have in common that they are defined in terms of the $q-$gamma and $q-$digamma functions. As an applications of this results, some…

We apply the Euler--Maclaurin formula to find the asymptotic expansion of the sums $\sum_{k=1}^n (\log k)^p / k^q$, ~$\sum k^q (\log k)^p$, ~$\sum (\log k)^p /(n-k)^q$, ~$\sum 1/k^q (\log k)^p $ in closed form to arbitrary order ($p,q…

Let ${\mathcal U}(\lambda)$ denote the family of analytic functions $f(z)$, $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$, in the unit disk $\ID$, which satisfy the condition $\big |\big (z/f(z)\big )^{2}f'(z)-1\big |<\lambda $ for some $0<\lambda \leq 1$. The…

For an analytic and univalent function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$, the logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ are defined by $\log \frac{f(z)}{z}= 2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}…

We prove that the rational Euler characteristic of $\operatorname{Out}(F_n)$ is always negative and its asymptotic growth rate is $\Gamma(n- \frac32)/\sqrt{2\pi} \log^2 n$. This settles a 1987 conjecture of J. Smillie and the second author.…
