摘要：

Let be the differential entropy of the gamma distribution Gam(alpha, root alpha). It is shown that (1/2) log(2 pi e) - H(g) (alpha) is a completely monotone function of alpha. This refines the monotonicity of the entropy in the central limit theorem for gamma random variables. A similar result holds for the inverse Gaussian family. How generally this complete monotonicity holds is left as an open problem. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
