Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2006, Article number: 48727 (2006)
Abstract
We denote by and the gamma and the incomplete gamma functions, respectively. In this paper we prove some monotonicity results for the gamma function and extend, to, a lower bound established by Elbert and Laforgia (2000) for the function, with, only for.
