Complete monotonicity of some functions involving polygamma functions

In the present paper, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the functions $x^α\bigl\lvertψ^{(i)}(x+β)\bigr\lvert$ and $α\bigl\lvertψ^{(i)}(x+β)\bigr\lvert-x\bigl\lvertψ^{(i+1)}(x+β)\bigr\lvert$ respectively to be monotonic and completely monotonic on $(0,\infty)$, where $i\in\mathbb{N}$, $α>0$ and $β\ge0$ are scalars, and $ψ^{(i)}(x)$ are polygamma functions.

More supplements to a class of logarithmically completely monotonic functions associated with the gamma function

In this article, a necessary and sufficient condition and a necessary condition are established for a function involving the gamma function to be logarithmically completely monotonic on $(0,\infty)$. As applications of the necessary and sufficient condition, some inequalities for bounding the psi and polygamma functions and the ratio of two gamma functions are derived.
