摘要
In the present paper, we establish the complete monotonicity of two functions involving divided differences of the digamma function psi and the trigamma function psi'. Applying these monotonicity, we provide an alternative proof for the monotonicity and convexity of a function derived from bounding the ratio of two gamma functions, procure the logarithmically completely monotonic property of a function involving the ratio of two gamma functions, and obtain new bounds for the ratio of two gamma functions.
