A completely monotonic function used in an inequality of Alzer

Abstract

The function G(x)=(1- x /(1+x))x x has been considered by Alzer, Qi and Guo. We prove that G' is completely monotonic by finding an integral representation of the holomorphic extension of G to the cut plane. A main difficulty is caused by the fact that G' is not a Stieltjes function.
