Abstract

In the paper, some complete monotonicity results that the functions $\frac{\pm1}{e^{\pm t}-1}$ are logarithmically completely monotonic, that the differences between consecutive derivatives of these two functions are completely monotonic, and that the ratios between consecutive derivatives of these two functions are decreasing on $(0,∞)$, are discovered. As applications of these newly discovered results, some complete monotonicity results concerning the polylogarithm are found. Finally a conjecture on the complete monotonicity of the above-mentioned ratios is posed.
