Monotonic Properties

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.

AbstractLet $\Gamma (x)$ Γ ( x ) denote the classical Euler gamma function. We set $\psi _{n}(x)=(-1)^{n-1}\psi ^{(n)}(x)$ ψ n ( x ) = ( − 1 ) n − 1 ψ ( n ) ( x ) ($n\in \mathbb{N}$ n ∈ N ), where $\psi ^{(n)}(x)$ ψ ( n ) ( x ) denotes the nth derivative of the psi function $\psi (x)=\Gamma '(x)/\Gamma (x)$ ψ ( x ) = Γ ′ ( x ) / Γ ( x ) . For λ, α, $\beta \in \mathbb{R}$ β ∈ R and $m,n\in \mathbb{N}$ m , n ∈ N , we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the functions $$ L(x;\lambda ,\alpha ,\beta )=\psi _{m+n}(x)-\lambda \psi _{m}(x+ \alpha ) \psi _{n}(x+\beta ) $$ L ( x ; λ , α , β ) = ψ m + n ( x ) − λ ψ m ( x + α ) ψ n ( x + β ) and $-L(x;\lambda ,\alpha ,\beta )$ − L ( x ; λ , α , β ) to be completely monotonic on $(-\min (\alpha ,\beta ,0),\infty )$ ( − min ( α , β , 0 ) , ∞ ) .As a result, we generalize and refine some inequalities involving the polygamma functions and also give some inequalities in terms of the ratio of gamma 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.

In the paper, by convolution theorem of the Laplace transforms, a monotonicity rule for the ratio of two Laplace transforms, Bernstein's theorem for completely monotonic functions, and other analytic techniques, the author (1) presents the decreasing monotonicity of a ratio constituted via three derivatives of a function involving trigamma function; (2) discovers necessary and sufficient conditions for a function constituted via three derivatives of a function involving trigamma function to be completely monotonic. These results conform previous guesses posed by the author.

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 the paper, by virtue of convolution theorem for the Laplace transforms, Bernstein's theorem for completely monotonic functions, some properties of a function involving exponential function, and other analytic techniques, the author finds necessary and sufficient conditions for two functions defined by two derivatives of a function involving trigamma function to be completely monotonic or monotonic. These results generalize corresponding known ones.

We use properties of the gamma function to estimate the products$\prod _{k=1}^{n}(4k-3)/4k$and$\prod _{k=1}^{n}(4k-1)/4k$, motivated by the work of Chen and Qi [‘Completely monotonic function associated with the gamma function and proof of Wallis’ inequality’,Tamkang J. Math.36(4) (2005), 303–307] and Morticiet al.[‘Completely monotonic functions and inequalities associated to some ratio of gamma function’,Appl. Math. Comput.240(2014), 168–174].
