Abstract

Our aim in this paper is to derive several new monotonicity properties and functional inequalities of some functions involving the q-gamma, q-digamma and q-polygamma functions. More precisely, some classes of functions involving the q-gamma function are proved to be logarithmically completely monotonic and a class of functions involving the q-digamma function is showed to be completely monotonic. As applications of these, we offer upper and lower bounds for this special functions and new sharp upper and lower bounds for the q-analogue harmonic number harmonic are derived. Moreover, a number of two-sided exponential bounding inequalities are given for the q-digamma function and two-sided exponential bounding inequalities are then obtained for the q-tetragamma function.

Keywords
