Review text

Denote by \(CM(I)\) the set of functions \(f\) which are completely monotonic on an interval \(I\), that is \((-1)^{k}f^{(k)}(x)\geq 0\) for \(x\in I\) and \(k\geq 0.\) A positive function \(f\) is said to be logarithmically completely monotonic on \(I\) if \(\log \circ f\in CM(I).\) The authors consider the family of functions \(f_{a,b,c,r}\) (for \(a\geq 0\) and \(b,c,r\in \mathbb{R}\) with \( r\neq 0)\) defined by \[ f_{a,b,c,r}(x)=\left[ \frac{\sqrt[x]{\Gamma (x+1)}}{x^{c}}\left( 1+\frac{a}{x }\right) ^{x+b}\right] ^{r},\qquad x\in (0,\infty), \] where \(\Gamma (x)=\int_{0}^{\infty }t^{x-1}e^{-t}dt.\) Some conditions for logarithmically completely monotony of such functions are proved.
