Some inequalities involving the polygamma functions [PDF]
Let ψn(x)=(−1)n−1ψ(n)(x) $\psi _{n}(x)=(-1)^{n-1}\psi ^{(n)}(x)$, where ψ(n)(x) $\psi ^{(n)}(x)$ are the polygamma functions. We determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the monotonicity and convexity of the function F(x;α,β)=ln(exp(αψ(x+β))ψn(x)

Sharp Inequalities for Polygamma Functions [PDF]
Abstract In 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.

Complete monotonicity related to the k-polygamma functions with applications [PDF]
In this paper, we prove complete monotonicity of some functions involving k-polygamma functions. As an application of the main result, we also give new upper and lower bounds of the k-digamma function.

Polygamma Functions of Negative Order
Liouville's fractional integration is used to define polygamma functions ψ(n)(Z) for negative integer n. It is shown that such ψ(n)(Z) can be represented in a closed form by means of the first derivatives of the Hurwitz Zeta function. Relations to the Barnes G-function and generalized Glaisher's constants are also discussed.

On Some Properties of Digamma and Polygamma Functions
The author proves some interesting inequalities involving the logarithmic derivative of the gamma function \(\psi(x)=\frac{\Gamma^{\prime}(x)}{\Gamma(x)}\), and its derivatives \(\psi_{n}(x)=\psi^{(n)}(x),\;n=1,2,3,\ldots\), known as polygamma functions.

Turán-Type Inequalities for Generalized Polygamma Function
Inspired by the work of C. Mortici [1] and A. Laforgia et. al [2] we have established some new Turán-type inequalities for k-polygamma function and p-k-polygamma function.

In the paper, the author presents bounds for completely monotonic degree of a remainder for an asymptotic expansion of the trigamma function. This result partially confirms one in a series of conjectures on completely monotonic degrees of remainders of ...

On the Hurwitz zeta function with an application to the beta-exponential distribution
We prove a monotonicity property of the Hurwitz zeta function which, in turn, translates into a chain of inequalities for polygamma functions of different orders.
