In the paper the authors alternatively prove that the function $x^\alpha\big[\ln\frac{px}{x+p+1}-\psi_p(x)\big]$ is completely monotonic on $(0,\infty)$ if and only if $\alpha \le 1$, where $p\in\mathbb{N}$ and $\psi_p(x)$ is the…

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 $(0,\infty)$.

In this note we study the monotonicity of the function $x\mapsto \psi(1 +bx)^a/\psi(1 + ax)^b$. We also give the several inequalities involving the psi function, whic is the logarithmic derivative of the gamma function.

We simplify the proof of some widely used theoretical theorems, extending their applicability, while correcting some erroneous results. We also generalize key results and present new results that contribute to the development of the theory.…

In the paper, by directly verifying an inequality which gives a lower bound for the first order modified Bessel function of the first kind, the authors supply a new proof for the complete monotonicity of a difference between the exponential…

In this paper, some monotonicity and concavity results of several functions involving the psi and polygamma functions are proved, and then some known inequalities are extended and generalized.

The main purpose of this note is to construct two functionals of the positive solutions to the conjugate heat equation associated to the metrics evolving by the conformal Ricci flow on closed manifolds. We show that they are nondecreasing…

In the paper, the authors verify the complete monotonicity of the difference $e^{1/t}-\psi'(t)$ on $(0,\infty)$, compute the completely monotonic degree and establish integral representations of the remainder of the Laurent series expansion…

In the paper the author provides necessary and sufficient conditions on $a$ for the function $\frac{1}{2}\ln(2\pi)-x+\bigl(x-\frac{1}{2}\bigr)\ln x-\ln\Gamma(x)+\frac1{12}{\psi'(x+a)}$ and its negative to be completely monotonic on…

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, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the functions $x^\alpha\bigl\lvert\psi^{(i)}(x+\beta)\bigr\lvert$ and $\alpha\bigl\lvert\psi^{(i)}(x+\beta)\bigr\lvert-x\bigl\lvert\psi^{(i+1)}(x+\beta)\bigr\lvert$…

In this manuscript, we present the complete monotonicity of functions defined in terms of the poly-double gamma function \begin{align*} \psi_2^{(n)}(x) = (-1)^{n+1} n! \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \dfrac{(1+k)}{(x+k)^{n+1}}, \quad x > 0, \ n\geq 2.…

Let $\psi_q(x)$, $\psi_q'(x)$, and $\psi_q''(x)$ for $q>0$ stand respectively for the $q$-digamma, $q$-trigamma, and $q$-tetragamma functions. In the paper, the author proves along two different approaches that the functions…

In the article, a notion "logarithmically absolutely monotonic function" is introduced, an inclusion that a logarithmically absolutely monotonic function is also absolutely monotonic is revealed, the logarithmically complete monotonicity…

For $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $f_{m,n}(x)=\bigr[\psi^{(m)}(x)\bigl]^2+\psi^{(n)}(x)$ on $(0,\infty)$. In the present paper, we prove using two methods that, among all $f_{m,n}(x)$ for $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$, only $f_{1,2}(x)$ is nontrivially…

We prove that a continuous function $f:(0,\infty) \to (0,\infty)$ is operator monotone increasing if and only if $f(A \: !_t \: B) \leqs f(A) \: !_t \: f(B)$ for any positive operators $A,B$ and scalar $t \in [0,1]$. Here, $!_t$ denotes the…

The psi function $\psi(x)$ is defined by $\psi(x)=\frac{\Gamma'(x)}{\Gamma(x)}$ and $\psi^{(i)}(x)$ for $i\in\mathbb{N}$ denote the polygamma functions, where $\Gamma(x)$ is the gamma function. In this paper we prove that a function…

In this article, a necessary and sufficient condition and a necessary condition are established for a function involving the gamma function to be logarithmically completely monotonic on $(0,\infty)$. As applications of the necessary and…

Let $\mathcal{L}(x,a)$ be defined on $\left( -1,\infty \right) \times \left( 4/15,\infty \right) $ or $\left( 0,\infty \right) \times \left( 1/15,\infty \right) $ by the formula% \begin{equation*} \mathcal{L}(x,a)=\tfrac{1}{90a^{2}+2}\ln…

The nonlinear recurrences we consider here include the functions $3x(1-x)$ and $\cos(x)$, which possess attractive fixed points $2/3$ and $0.739...$ (Dottie's number). Detailed asymptotics for oscillatory convergence are found, starting…
