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, ${\infty}$).

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.

We shall consider the estimation for the parameter and the right tail probability in a general exponential distribution. We also shall consider the estimation of the reliability P(X < Y ) and the skewness trends of the density function of the ratio X=(X+Y) for two independent general exponential variables each having different shape parameters and known scale parameter. We then shall consider the estimation of the failure rate average and the hazard function for a general exponential variable having the density function with the unknown shape and known scale parameters, and for a bivariate density induced by the general exponential density.
