    This paper is concerned with the complete monotonicity property of some complicated, implicitly defined functions. Rather than mention these functions, I note that since logarithms and exponentials occur on many places, it would be advisable to define a branch of the logarithm. The multiple gamma function, as well as the gamma function and the (multiple) \(q\)-gamma function, which occurs in another paper of the author [C. R., Math., Acad. Sci. Paris 358, No. 3, 327--332 (2020; Zbl 1450.33004)], are by definition complex functions. Graphs of the functions are given in the end. Reviewers remarks: \begin{itemize}\item[1.] The complex logarithm is denoted by log, not ln. Both notations are used in the paper. \item[2.] There is a misprint in the definition on line 5 on page 919. It should say: Similarly, one can define multiple \(\Phi\) function \(\Phi_n=\frac{G_n'}{G_n}\). \item[3.] The application of Leibnitz' rule in the proof of theorem 5 is not clear, since it is not possible to distinguish the factors \(u\) and \(v\) in the proof. \end{itemize}
