Increasing property and logarithmic convexity of functions involving Dirichlet lambda function
In this article, with the help of an integral representation of the Dirichlet lambda function, by means of a monotonicity rule for the ratio of two integrals with a parameter, and by virtue of complete monotonicity and another property of an elementary ...

Logarithmically completely monotonic rational functions
This paper studies the class of logarithmically completely monotonic (LCM) functions. These functions play an important role in characterising externally positive linear systems which find applications in important control problems such as non-overshooting reference tracking.

Constructing models for spherical and elliptical densities
The article provides construction algorithms for consistent model classes of continuous spherical and elliptical distributions. The algorithms are based on characterization theorems for consistent families of generator functions.

A complete monotonicity property of the multiple gamma function
We consider the following functions \[ f_n(x)=1-\ln x+\frac{\ln G_n(x+1)}{x} \text{ and }g_n(x)=\frac{\@root x \of {G_n(x+1)}}{x},\; x\in (0,\infty ),\; n\in \mathbb{N}, \] where $G_n(z)=\left(\Gamma _n(z)\right)^{(-1)^{n-1}}$ and $\Gamma _n$ is the ...

A combinatorial proof of the Gaussian product inequality beyond the MTP2 case
A combinatorial proof of the Gaussian product inequality (GPI) is given under the assumption that each component of a centered Gaussian random vector X=(X1,…,Xd){\boldsymbol{X}}=\left({X}_{1},\ldots ,{X}_{d}) of arbitrary length can be written as a ...

A SOLUTION TO QI’S EIGHTH OPEN PROBLEM ON COMPLETE MONOTONICITY
n this paper, the complete monotonicity of 1/( arctan 𝑥) is proved. This problem was posted by F. Qi and R. P. Agarwal as the eighth open problem of collection of eight open problems.

A class of completely monotonic functions involving the polygamma functions
Let Γ ( x ) $\Gamma (x)$ denote the classical Euler gamma function. We set ψ n ( x ) = ( − 1 ) n − 1 ψ ( n ) ( x ) $\psi _{n}(x)=(-1)^{n-1}\psi ^{(n)}(x)$ ( n ∈ N $n\in \mathbb{N}$ ), where ψ ( n ) ( x ) $\psi ^{(n)}(x)$ denotes the nth derivative of the

Directional Shift-Stable Functions
Recently, some new types of monotonicity—in particular, weak monotonicity and directional monotonicity of an n-ary real function—were introduced and successfully applied.

Some Properties of the Fuss–Catalan Numbers
In the paper, the authors express the Fuss⁻Catalan numbers as several forms in terms of the Catalan⁻Qi function, find some analytic properties, including the monotonicity, logarithmic convexity, complete monotonicity, and minimality, of the ...

Complete monotonicity of some entropies [PDF]
It is well-known that the Shannon entropies of some parameterized probability distributions are concave functions with respect to the parameter. In this paper we consider a family of such distributions (including the binomial, Poisson, and negative binomial distributions) and investigate the Shannon, Rényi, and Tsallis entropies of them with respect to
