We introduce completely monotonic functions of order $r>0$ and show that the remainders in asymptotic expansions of the logarithm of Barnes double gamma function and Euler's gamma function give rise to completely monotonic functions of any…

In this paper, we introduce a way to generalize the Euler's gamma function as well as some related special functions. With a given polynomial in one variable $f(t)\ge 0$, we can associate a function, so-called "gamma function associated…

For real $a>0$, let $X_a$ denote a random variable with the gamma distribution with parameters $a$ and $1$. Then $\mathsf P(X_a-a>c)$ is increasing in $a$ for each real $c\ge0$; non-increasing in $a$ for each real $c\le-1/3$; and…
We consider the functional inverse of the Gamma function in the complex plane, where it is multi-valued, and define a set of suitable branches by proposing a natural extension from the real case.
In this paper, we consider the monotonicity of certain combinations of the Gaussian hypergeometric functions $F(a-1,b;a+b;1-x^c)$ and $F(a-1-\delta,b+\delta;a+b;1-x^d)$ on $(0,1)$ for $\delta\in(a-1,0)$, and study the problem of comparing…
In the paper, the author establishes inequalities, monotonicity, convexity, and unimodality for functions concerning the modified Bessel functions of the first kind and compute the completely monotonic degrees of differences between the…
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…
Our aim in this paper is to show some new inequalities for Mathieu's type series and Riemann zeta function. In particular, some Tur\'an type inequalities, some monotonicity and log-convexity results for these special functions are given.…
In this short note we present a set of interesting and useful properties of a one-parameter family of sequences including factorial and subfactorial, and their relations to the Gamma function and the incomplete Gamma function.
Inequalities among symmetric functions are fundamental in various branches of mathematics, thus motivating a systematic study of their structure. Majorization has been shown to characterize inequalities among commonly used symmetric…
An analysis of the zeta and gamma function is presented, using elementary functions like [] and {}, a general formula for the angle of zeta(1/2 + i*n) is found and the same for the gamma function.
We re-examine perturbative and nonperturbative aspects of the beta function in N=1 and N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories, make comments on the recent literature on the subject and discuss the exactness of several known results such as the…

We prove the monotonicity property of the Robin torsion function in a smooth planar domain $\Omega$ with a line of symmetry, provided that the Robin coefficient $\beta$ is greater than or equal to the negative of the boundary curvature…
All beta-type functions, which are p-homogeneous, are determined. Applying this result, we show that a beta-type function is a homogeneous mean iff it is the harmonic one. A reformulation of a result due to Heuvers in terms of a Cauchy…
We prove a compactness result with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence for a class of integral functionals which are expressed as a sum of a local and a non-local term. The main feature is that, under our hypotheses, the local part of the…
