Conjecture on the monotonicity threshold and complete monotonicity of G_a

Let RR be the function defined in the source by equation (R(x)), and let GaG_a be the parameterized function defined earlier in the paper. Monotonicity and complete-monotonicity conjecture. The function

x24(x431336)R(x)+x274024(x2+740)R(x)1x\mapsto \frac{-24\left(x^{4}-\frac{31}{336}\right)R(x)+x^{2}-\frac{7}{40}}{24\left(x^{2}+\frac{7}{40}\right)R(x)-1}

is increasing on (0,)(0,\infty); moreover, Ga-G_a is completely monotone on (0,)(0,\infty) if and only if a155/294a\leq 155/294. These are the two conjectures obtained from the preceding necessary condition and inequalities; the supplied text gives no resolution.
