Approximations related to the complete p-elliptic integrals
In this paper, the authors present some monotonicity properties for certain functions involving the complete p-elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds, by showing the monotonicity and concavity-convexity properties of certain combinations ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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
