Some properties of extended remainder of Binet's first formula for logarithm of gamma function

In the paper, we extend Binet's first formula for the logarithm of the gamma function and investigate some properties, including inequalities, star-shaped and sub-additive properties and the complete monotonicity, of the extended remainder of Binet's first formula for the logarithm of the gamma function and related functions.Comment: 8 page

Logarithmic mean inequality for generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions

In this paper we study the convexity and concavity properties of generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions in case of Logarithmic mean.Comment:

Entropies, convexity, and functional inequalities

Our aim is to provide a short and self contained synthesis which generalise and unify various related and unrelated works involving what we call Phi-Sobolev functional inequalities. Such inequalities related to Phi-entropies can be seen in particular as an inclusive interpolation between Poincare and Gross logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. In addition to the known material, extensions are provided and improvements are given for some aspects. Stability by tensor products, convolution, and bounded perturbations are addressed. We show that under simple convexity assumptions on Phi, such inequalities hold in a lot of situations, including hyper-contractive diffusions, uniformly strictly log-concave measures, Wiener measure (paths space of Brownian Motion on Riemannian Manifolds) and generic Poisson space (includes paths space of some pure jumps Levy processes and related infinitely divisible laws). Proofs are simple and relies essentially on convexity. We end up by a short parallel inspired by the analogy with Boltzmann-Shannon entropy appearing in Kinetic Gases and Information Theories.Comment: Formerly "On Phi-entropies and Phi-Sobolev inequalities".
