In the paper, by convolution theorem for the Laplace transforms and analytic techniques, the author finds necessary and sufficient conditions for complete monotonicity, monotonicity, and inequalities of several functions involving polygamma functions. By these results, the author derives a lower bound of a function related to the sectional curvature of the manifold of the beta distributions. Finally, the author poses several guesses and open problems related to monotonicity, complete monotonicity, and inequalities of several functions involving polygamma functions.

In this paper, the authors prove some inequalities and completely monotonic properties of polygamma functions. As an application, we give lower bound for the zeta function on natural numbers. Partially, we answer the fifth and sixth open problems listed in [F. Qi and R. P. Agarwal, On complete monotonicity for several classes of functions related to ratios of gamma functions, J. Inequalities Appl. 2019(36) (2019) 42]. We propose two open problems on completely monotonic functions related to polygamma functions.

AbstractNecessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a function involving the divided difference of the psi function to be completely monotonic and for a function involving the ratio of two gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic. From these, some double inequalities are derived for bounding polygamma functions, divided differences of polygamma functions, and the ratio of two gamma functions.

The following is our main result.(A) THEOREM. Let (M, g) be a closed connected Einstein space, n = dim M ≧ 2 (with constant scalar curvature R). Let K0 be the lower bound of the sectional curvature. Then either (M, g) is isometrically diffeomorphic to a sphere and the first nonzero eigenvalue ƛ1of the Laplacian fulfils

AbstractIn the paper, the authors review some inequalities and the (logarithmically) complete monotonicity concerning the gamma and polygamma functions and, more importantly, present a sharp double inequality for bounding the polygamma function by rational functions.

AbstractIn the paper, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for two families of functions involving divided differences of the di- and tri-gamma functions to be completely monotonic. Consequently, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for two families of functions involving the ratio of two gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic. Furthermore, we deduce some inequalities for bounding the ratio of two gamma functions and divided differences of polygamma functions.

In this paper we find lower bounds for the first Steklov eigenvalue in Riemannian n-manifolds, n = 2, 3, with non-positive sectional curvature.
