Absolutely monotonic functions related to Euler's gamma function and Barnes' double and triple gamma function
Koumandos, S.; Pedersen, H. L. (2011)It is shown that the remainders in asymptotic expansions of the logarithm of Barnes double and triple gamma function and Euler's gamma function are Laplace transformations of positive multiples of absolutely monotonic ...

A Bernstein function related to Ramanujan's approximations of exp(n)
Koumandos, S. (2013)Ramanujan's sequence θ(n),n=0,1,2,..., is defined by en/2 =∑j=0 n-1nj/j!+nn/n! θ(n). It is possible to define, in a simple manner, the function θ(x) for all nonnegative real numbers x. We show that the function λ(x):=x ...

Companions of the inequalities of Fejér-Jackson and young
Alzer, H.; Koumandos, S. (2005)Applications of some well-known theorems of Jackson and Young lead to the sharp inequalities, We prove that the following counterpart is valid for all integers n ≥ 1 and real numbers x ∈ (0, π): where the sign of equality ...

Complete monotonicity and related properties of some special functions
Koumandos, S.; Lamprecht, M. (2013)We completely determine the set of s, t > 0 for which the function is a Bernstein function, that is Ls,t(x) is positive with completely monotonic derivative on (0, ∞). The complete monotonicity of several closely related ...

A new bound for the Fejér-Jackson sum
Brown, G.; Koumandos, S. (1998)We establish a new positive functional estimate for the FejérJackson sum Sn(θ) = Σnk=1 k-1 sin kθ. This result enables us to give a simple proof of a result of Askey and Steinig on a monotonic sine sum associated with the ...

A new refinement of Young's inequality
Alzer, H.; Koumandos, S. (2007)A classical theorem due to Young states that the cosine polynomial c n(x) = 1 + ∑k=1n cos(kx)/k is positive for all n ≥ 1 and x ∈ (0, π). We prove the following refinement. For all n ≥ 2 and x ∈ [0, π] we have 1/6 + c(π - ...
