The Best Bounds in Kershaw's Inequality and Two Completely Monotonic Functions

Qi, Feng (2006) The Best Bounds in Kershaw's Inequality and Two Completely Monotonic Functions. Research report collection, 9 (4).

Abstract

A new proof for monotonicity and convexity of a function deduced from Kershaw’s inequality involving the Wallis’ function about the Euler’s gamma function is provided. The complete monotonicity results of two functions involving the divided differences of the psi function ψ and polygamma function ψ' are established.
