β¦ Synopsis
In the present paper, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the functions
| respectively to be monotonic and completely monotonic on (0, β), where i β N, Ξ± > 0 and Ξ² β₯ 0 are scalars, and Ο (i) (x) are polygamma functions.

Liouville's fractional integration is used to define polygamma functions ~,(")(z) for negative integer n. It is shown that such ~k(n)(z) can be represented in a closed form by means of the first derivatives of the Hurwitz Zeta function. Relations to the Barnes G-function and generalized Glaisher's c
## Abstract The Gamma function and its __n__ th logarithmic derivatives (that is, the polygamma or the psiβfunctions) have found many interesting and useful applications in a variety of subjects in pure and applied mathematics. Here we mainly apply these functions to treat convolutions of the Rayle
