Let p , q ∈ ℝ with p - q ≥ 0 , σ = 1 2 ( p + q - 1 ) and s = 1 2 ( 1 - p + q ) , and let 𝒟 m ( x ; p , q ) = 𝒟 0 ( x ; p , q ) + ∑ k = 1 m B 2 k ( s ) 2 k ( x + σ ) 2 k , where 𝒟 0 ( x ; p , q ) = ψ ( x + p ) + ψ ( x + q ) 2 - ln ( x + σ ) . We establish the asymptotic expansion 𝒟 0 ( x ; p , q ) ∼ - ∑ n = 1 ∞ B 2 n ( s ) 2 n ( x + σ ) 2 n as x → ∞ , where B 2 n ( s ) stands for the Bernoulli polynomials. Further, we prove that the functions ( - 1 ) m 𝒟 m ( x ; p , q ) and ( - 1 ) m + 1 𝒟 m ( x ; p , q ) are completely monotonic in x on ( - σ , ∞ ) for every m ∈ ℕ 0 if and only if p - q ∈ [ 0 , 1 2 ] and p - q = 1 , respectively. This not only unifies the two known results but also yields some new results.

Further, we prove that the functions $( -1) ^{m}\mathcal {D}_{m} ( x;p,q )$ and $( -1) ^{m+1}\mathcal {D}_{m} ( x;p,q )$ are completely monotonic in $x$ on $( -\sigma ,\infty )$ for every $m\in \mathbb {N}_{0}$ if and only if $p-q\in [ 0, \tfrac{1}{2} ]$ and $p-q=1$, respectively.
