A completely monotonic function involving the tri- and tetra-gamma functions

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

The psi function ψ(x)ψ(x) is defined by ψ(x)=Γ′(x)Γ(x)ψ(x)=\frac{Γ'(x)}{Γ(x)} and ψ(i)(x)ψ^{(i)}(x) for i∈Ni\in\mathbb{N} denote the polygamma functions, where Γ(x)Γ(x) is the gamma function. In this paper we prove that a function involving the difference between [ψ′(x)]2+ψ′′(x)[ψ'(x)]^2+ψ''(x) and a proper fraction of xx is completely monotonic on (0,∞)(0,\infty).
