For $0\neq x>-1$ let $$\Delta(x)={{\ln \Gamma(x+1)} \over x}.$$ Recently Adell and Alzer proved the complete monotonicity of $\Delta'$ on $(-1,\infty)$ by giving an integral representation of $(-1)^n \Delta^{(n+1)}(x)$ in terms of the…
We show that the q-Digamma function psi_q for 0<q<1 appears in an iteration studied by Berg and Dur\'an. In addition we determine the probability measure \nu_q with moments 1/\sum_{k=1}^{n+1} (1-q)/(1-q^k), which are q-analogues of the…
The primary purpose of this article is to study the asymptotic and numerical estimates in detail for higher degree polynomials in $\pi(x)$ having a general expression of the form, \begin{align*} P(\pi(x)) - \frac{e x}{\log x} Q(\pi(x/e)) +…

The exponential kernel \[E{g}(\lambda,w) = \exp -\frac{1}{\pi}\int_{\mathbb{C} } \frac{g(u)}{\overline{u-w} (u-\lambda) } da(u ),\] where the compactly supported bounded measurable function $g$ satisfies $0 \leq g\leq 1,$ and suitably…

One-dimensional and two-dimensional integrals containing $E_b(-u)$ and $E_{\alpha ,\beta }\left(\delta x^{\gamma }\right)$ are considered. $E_b(-u)$ is the Mittag-Leffler function and the integral is taken over the rectangle $0 \leq x <…
