It is well-known that if ${\phi}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$ > 0 for all x, ${\phi}(0)=0$, and ${\phi}/x$ is interpreted as ${\phi}^{\prime}(0)$ for x = 0, then ${\phi}/x$ increases for all x. This has been extended in [Complete monotonicity and logarithmically complete monotonicity properties for the gamma and psi functions, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 336 (2007), 812-822]. In this paper, we extend the above result to the very general cases, and then use it to prove some (logarithmically) completely monotonic functions related to the gamma function. We also establish some inequalities for the gamma function and generalize some known results.

In the paper, by directly verifying an inequality which gives a lower bound for the first order modified Bessel function of the first kind, the authors supply a new proof for the complete monotonicity of a difference between the exponential function $e^{1/t}$ and the trigamma function ${\psi}^{\prime}(t)$ on (0, ${\infty}$).

In the present paper, we give two new proofs for the necessary and sufficient condition $\alpha\leq1$ such that the function $x^{\alpha}[lnx-\psi(x)]$ is completely monotonic on (0,$\infty$).

In this article, the logarithmically complete monotonicity of some functions such as $\frac{1}{[\Gamma(x+1)]^{1/x}$, $\frac{[\Gamma(x+1)]^{1/x}}{x^\alpha}$, $\frac{[\Gamma(x+1)]^{1/x}}{(x+1)^\alpha}$ and $\frac{[\Gamma(x+\alpha+1)]^{1/(x+\alpha})}{[\Gamma(x+1)^{1/x}}$ for $\alpha{\in}\mathbb{R}$ on ($-1,\infty$) or ($0,\infty$) are obtained, some known results are recovered, extended and generalized. Moreover, some basic properties of the logarithmically completely monotonic functions are established.

By employing a refined version of the $P{\acute{o}}lya$ type integral inequality and other techniques, the authors establish some inequalities and absolute monotonicity for modified Bessel functions of the first kind with nonnegative integer order.
