A LOGARITHMICALLY COMPLETELY MONOTONIC FUNCTION INVOLVING THE GAMMA FUNCTION

Abstract

In this paper, sufficient conditions are found for a function involving the gamma function and its reciprocal to be logarithmically completely monotonic. Consequently, a decreasing monotonicity of the function is generalized and a known inequality is extended.
