Sharp inequalities for polygamma functions

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to prove that the double inequality frac{(k-1)!}{Bigl{x+Bigl[frac{(k-1)!}{|psi^{(k)}(1)|}Bigr]^{1/k}Bigr}^k} +frac{k!}{x^{k+1}}<�igl|psi^{(k)}(x)�igr|<frac{(k-1)!}{�igl(x+frac12�igr)^k}+frac{k!}{x^{k+1}} holds for x>0 and kinmathbbN and that the constants Bigl[frac(k1)!|psi(k)(1)|Bigr]1/k and frac12 are the best possible. In passing, some related inequalities and (logarithmically) complete monotonicity results concerning the gamma, psi and polygamma functions are surveyed.
