Supplements to a class of logarithmically completely monotonic functions associated with the gamma function. (English) Zbl 1139.33300

Summary: The authors present a necessary condition, a sufficient condition and a necessary and sufficient condition for a class of functions associated with the gamma function to be logarithmically completely monotonic. As a consequence of these results, supplements to the recent investigation by S.-L. Qiu and M. Vuorinen [Math. Comput. 74, No. 250, 723–742 (2005; Zbl 1060.33006)] are provided and a new Kečkić-Vasić type inequality is concluded.
