In the paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a function involving a ratio of gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic. This extends and generalizes the main result of B.-N. Guo and F. Qi [Taiwanese J. Math. 7, No. 2, 239–247 (2003; 1050.26012)] and others. As applications, several inequalities involving the volume of the unit ball in ℝ n are derived, which refine, generalize and extend some known inequalities.
