Motivated by the problem of determining the values of $\alpha>0$ for which $f_\alpha(x)=e^\alpha - (1+1/x)^{\alpha x},\ x>0$ is a completely monotonic function, we combine Fourier analysis with complex analysis to find a family…
The aim of this paper is to develop analytic techniques to deal with certain monotonicity of combinatorial sequences. (1) A criterion for the monotonicity of the function $\sqrt[x]{f(x)}$ is given, which is a continuous analog for one…
We provide an elementary proof of the left side inequality and improve the right inequality in \bigg[\frac{n!}{x-(x^{-1/n}+\alpha)^{-n}}\bigg]^{\frac{1}{n+1}}&<((-1)^{n-1}\psi^{(n)})^{-1}(x)…
We improve the upper bounds of the following inequalities proved in [H. Alzer and N. Batir, Monotonicity properties of the gamma function, Appl. Math. Letters, 20(2007), 778-781]. \begin{equation*}…
Motivated by several conjectures posed in the paper "F. Qi and A.-Q. Liu, Completely monotonic degrees for a difference between the logarithmic and psi functions, J. Comput. Appl. Math., vol. 361, pp. 366--371 (2019); available online at…
In this article, we study exponents which preserve complete monotonicity of functions on lattices. We prove that for any completely monotone function $f$ on a finite lattice, $f^\alpha$ is completely monotone for all $\alpha\geq c$, where…
A function $\rho:[0,\infty)\to(0,1]$ is a completely monotonic function if and only if $\rho(\Vert\mathbf{x}\Vert^2)$ is positive definite on $\mathbb{R}^d$ for all $d$ and thus it represents the correlation function of a weakly stationary…
In this article we investigate the property of complete monotonicity within a special family $\mathcal{F}_s$ of functions in $s$ variables involving logarithms. The main result of this work provides a linear isomorphism between…
Let $d\in \mathbb{N}$ and let $\gamma_i\in [0,\infty)$, $x_i\in (0,1)$ be such that $\sum_{i=1}^{d+1} \gamma_i = M\in (0,\infty)$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{d+1} x_i = 1$. We prove that \begin{equation*} a \mapsto \frac{\Gamma(aM +…
We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on a function in order that it be the Laplace transform of an absolutely monotonic function. Several closely related results are also given.
In the paper, we present a monotonicity result of a function involving the gamma function and the logarithmic function, refine a double inequality for the gamma function, and improve some known results for bounding the gamma function.
In the paper, the authors establish integral representations of some functions related to the remainder of Burnside's formula for the gamma function and find the (logarithmically) complete monotonicity of these and related functions. These…
In this work, we investigate a problem posed by Feng Qi and Bai-Ni Guo in their paper Complete monotonicities of functions involving the gamma and digamma functions.
We show that a large collection of special functions, in particular Nielsen's beta function, are generalized Stieltjes functions of order 2, and therefore logarithmically completely monotonic. This includes the Laplace transform of…
In this present investigation, we found a set of sufficient conditions to be imposed on the parameters of the Fox H-functions which allow us to conclude that it is non-negative. As applications, various new facts regarding the Fox-Wright…
In this paper we define the polygamma functions $\psi^{(n)}(x)$ for negative integers by using neutrix calculus.
We prove some new results and unify the proofs of old ones involving complete monotonicity of expressions involving gamma and $q$-gamma functions, $0 < q < 1$. Each of these results implies the infinite divisibility of a related probability…
We study the properties of a function $\psi(z, q)$ (the generalized polygamma function), intimately connected with the Hurwitz zeta function and defined for complex values of the variables $z$ and $q$, which is entire in the variable $z$…
The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximally monotone operators provided that Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds. In this paper, we prove the maximal…
Let $\mathcal{K}\left( x\right) $ be the complete elliptic integral of the first kind and \begin{equation*} \mathcal{G}_{p}\left( x\right) =e^{\mathcal{K}\left( \sqrt{x} \right) }-\frac{p}{\sqrt{1-x}} \end{equation*} for $p\in \mathbb{R}$…
