Chapter 8 of Ramanujan's second notebook.
Let with , and , and let where We establish the asymptotic expansion where stands for the Bernoulli polynomials. Further, we prove that the functions and are completely monotonic in on for every if and only if and , respectively. This not only unifies the two known results but also yields some new results.
In this paper, we introduce a further generalization of the gamma function involving Gauss hypergeometric function 2F1 (a, b; c; z)
