Let R+ = (0,infinity) and let M be the family of all mean values of two numbers in R+ (some examples are the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means). Given m1, m2 in M, we say that a function f : R+ to R+ is (m1,m2)-convex if f(m1(x,y)) < or = m2(f(x),f(y)) for all x, y in R+ . The usual convexity is the special case when both mean values are arithmetic means. We study the dependence of (m1,m2)-convexity on m1 and m2 and give sufficient conditions for (m1,m2)-convexity of functions defined by Maclaurin series. The criteria involve the Maclaurin coefficients. Our results yield a class of new inequalities for several special functions such as the Gaussian hypergeometric function and a generalized Bessel function.
In this paper, we obtain some new inequalities for functions whose second derivatives' absolute value is s-convex and log-convex. Also, we give some applications for numerical integration.
In the paper, the authors establish some new Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for functions whose first derivatives are of convexity and apply these inequalities to construct inequalities of special means.

We have made some new definitions using the inequalities of Young' and Nesbitt'. And we have given some features of these new definitions. After, we established new Hadamard type inequalities for convex functions in the Young and Nesbitt sense.
In this study, we establish and generalize some inequalities of Hadamard and Simpson type based on s-convexity in the second sense. Some applications to special means of positive real numbers are also given and generalized. Examples are given to show the results. The results generalize the integral inequalities in [11] and [13].
In this paper, we study some properties such as the monotonicity, logarithmically complete monotonicity, logarithmic convexity, and geometric convexity, of the combinations of gamma function and power function. The results we obtain generalize some related known results for parameters with specific values.

By making use of the familiar Mathieu series and its generalizations, the authors derive a number of new integral representations and present a systematic study of probability density functions and probability distributions associated with some generalizations of the Mathieu series. In particular, the mathematical expectation, variance and the characteristic functions, related to the probability density functions of the considered probability distributions are derived. As a consequence, some interesting inequalities involving complete monotonicity and log-convexity are derived.
In this present paper, we establish the log-convexity and Turán type inequalities of extended $(p,q)$-beta functions. Also, we present the log-convexity, the monotonicity and Turán type inequalities for extended $(p,q)$-confluent hypergeometric function by using the inequalities of extended $(p,q)$-beta functions.
In this paper, the connection between the functional inequalities $$ f\Big(\frac{x+y}{2}\Big)\leq\frac{f(x)+f(y)}{2}+α_J(x-y) \qquad (x,y\in D)$$ and $$ \int_0^1f\big(tx+(1-t)y\big)ρ(t)dt \leqλf(x)+(1-λ)f(y) +α_H(x-y) \qquad (x,y\in D)$$ is investigated, where $D$ is a convex subset of a linear space, $f:D\to\R$, $α_H,α_J:D-D\to\R$ are even functions, $λ\in[0,1]$, and $ρ:[0,1]\to\R_+$ is an integrable nonnegative function with $\int_0^1ρ(t)dt=1$.
This paper studies the log-convexity of the extended beta functions. As a consequence, Turán-type inequalities are established.The monotonicity, log-convexity, log-concavity of extended hypergeometric functions are deduced by using the inequalities on extended beta functions,. The particular cases of those results also gives the Turán-type inequalities for extended confluent and extended Gaussian hypergeometric functions. Some reverse of Turán-type inequalities also derived.

In this paper, we not only give the extensions of the results given in [7] by Gill et al. for log-convex functions, but also obtain some new Hadamard type inequalities for log-convex, m-convex and (alpha,m)-convex functions.
This note contains sufficient conditions for the probability density function of an arbitrary continuous univariate distribution, supported on $(0,\infty),$ such that the corresponding Mills ratio to be reciprocally convex (concave). To illustrate the applications of the main results, the reciprocal convexity (concavity) of Mills ratio of the gamma distribution is discussed in details.
It is well-known that if a real valued function acting on a convex set satisfies the $n$-variable Jensen inequality, for some natural number $n\geq 2$, then, for all $k\in\{1,\dots, n\}$, it fulfills the $k$-variable Jensen inequality as well. In other words, the arithmetic mean and the Jensen inequality (as a convexity property) are both reducible. Motivated by this phenomenon, we investigate this property concerning more general means and convexity notions. We introduce a wide class of means which generalize the well-known means for arbitrary linear spaces and enjoy a so-called reducibility …
We establish conditions for the discrete versions of logarithmic concavity and convexity of the higher order regularized basic hypergeometric function with respect simultaneous shift of all its parameters. For a particular case of Heine's basic hypergeometric function we prove logarithmic concavity and convexity with respect to the bottom parameter. We further establish a linearization identity for the generalized Turánian formed by a particular case of Heine's basic hypergeometric function. Its $q=1$ case also appears to be new.
The paper studies logarithmic convexity and concavity of the generalized hypergeometric function with respect to simultaneous shift of several parameters. We use integral representations and properties of Meijer's $G$ function to prove log-convexity. When all parameters are shifted we use series manipulations to examine the power series coefficients of the generalized Turánian formed by the generalized hypergeometric function. In cases when all zeros of the generalized hypergeometric function are real, we further explore the consequences of the extended Laguerre inequalities and formulate a co…

In this paper, mainly using the convexity of the function $\frac{a^x-b^x}{c^x-d^x}$ and convexity or concavity of the function $\ln\frac{a^x-b^x}{c^x-d^x}$ on the real line, where $a>b\geq c>d>0$ are fixed real numbers, we obtain some important relations between various important means of these numbers. Also, we apply the obtained results to Ky Fan type inequalities and get some new refinements.
We prove some "power" generalizations of Marcus-Lopes-style (including McLeod and Bullen) concavity inequalities for elementary symmetric polynomials, and convexity inequalities (of McLeod and Baston) for complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials. Finally, we present sundry concavity results for elementary symmetric polynomials, of which the main result is a concavity theorem that among other implies a well-known log-convexity result of Muir (1972/74) for positive definite matrices.
In this study, the author establish some inequalities of Hadamard like based on convex and s-convexity in the second sense. Some applications to special means of positive real numbers are also given.
We study the power mean inequality of the generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions with two parameters. The generalized $p$-trigonometric and $(p, q)$-trigonometric functions were introduced by P. Lindqvist and S. Takeuchi, respectively.
We study the convexity properties of the generalized trigonometric functions considered as functions of parameter. We show that $p\to\sin_p(y)$ and $p\to\cos_p(y)$ are log-concave on the appropriate intervals while $p\to\tan_p(y)$ is log-convex. We also prove similar facts about the generalized hyperbolic functions. In particular, our results settle the major part of a conjecture put forward in a recent paper by Baricz, Bhayo and Vuorinen.
The radius of convexity of two normalized Bessel functions of the first kind are determined in the case when the order is between $-2$ and $-1.$ Our methods include the minimum principle for harmonic functions, the Hadamard factorization of some Dini functions, properties of the zeros of Dini functions via Lommel polynomials and some inequalities for complex and real numbers.
In this work, we introduce the class of $h$-${\rm{MN}}$-convex functions by generalizing the concept of ${\rm{MN}}$-convexity and combining it with $h$-convexity. Namely, Let $I,J$ be two intervals subset of $\left(0,\infty\right)$ such that $\left(0,1\right)\subseteq J$ and $\left[a,b\right]\subseteq I$. Consider a non-negative function $h: (0,\infty)\to \left(0,\infty\right)$ and let ${\rm{M}}:\left[0,1\right]\to \left[a,b\right] $ $(0<a<b)$ be a Mean function given by ${\rm{\rm{M}}}\left(t\right)={\rm{\rm{M}}}\left( {h(t);a,b} \right)$; where by ${\rm{\rm{M}}}\left( {h(t);a,b} \right)$ we m…
Our aim in this paper is to show some new inequalities for Mathieu's type series and Riemann zeta function. In particular, some Turán type inequalities, some monotonicity and log-convexity results for these special functions are given. New Laplace type integral representations for Mathie type series and Riemann zeta function are also presented.

In this paper, the authors establish some inequalities involving the $q$-extension of the classical Gamma function. These inequalities provide bounds for certain ratios of the $q$-extended Gamma function. The procedure makes use of geometric convexity and monotonicy properties of certain functions associated with the $q$-extended Gamma function.
Motivated by the work of Anderson, Vamanamurthy and Vuorinen \cite{avv}, in this paper authors study the log-convexity and log-concavity of Power mean, Identric mean, weighted Power mean, Lehmer mean, Modified Alzer mean, and establish the relation of these means with each other.
In this paper we consider some normalized Bessel, Struve and Lommel functions of the first kind, and by using the Euler-Rayleigh inequalities for the first positive zeros of combination of special functions we obtain tight lower and upper bounds for the radii of starlikeness of these functions. By considering two different normalization of Bessel and Struve functions we give some inequalities for the radii of convexity of the same functions. On the other hand, we show that the radii of univalence of some normalized Struve and Lommel functions are exactly the radii of starlikeness of the same f…
In this paper, the bivariate log-convexity of the two-parameter homogeneous function in parameter pair is vestigated. From this the bivariate log-convexity of the more extended means with respect to a parameter pair is solved. It follows that Stolarsky means, Gini means, two-parameter identric (exponential) means and two-parameter Heronian means are all bivariate log-concave on $\mathbb{[}0\mathbb{,\infty )}^{2}$ and log-convex on $% \mathbb{(-\infty ,}0\mathbb{]}^{2}$ with respect to parameters. Lastly, some classical and new inequalities for means are given.
In the paper, the authors prove that the generalized sine function $\sin_{p,q}(x)$ and the generalized hyperbolic sine function $\sinh_{p,q}(x)$ are geometrically concave and geometrically convex, respectively. Consequently, the authors verify a conjecture posed in the paper "B. A. Bhayo and M. Vuorinen, On generalized trigonometric functions with two parameters, J. Approx. Theory 164 (2012), no.~10, 1415\nobreakdash--1426; Available online at \url{http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jat.2012.06.003}".
In this paper, two new classes of convex functions as a generalization of convexity which is called (h-s)_{1,2}-convex functions are given. We also prove some Hadamard-type inequalities and applications to the special means are given.
We obtain the classical Hanner inequalities by the Bellman function method. These inequalities give sharp estimates for the moduli of convexity of Lebesgue spaces. Easy ideas from differential geometry help us to find the Bellman function using neither "magic guesses" nor calculations.
In this paper our aim is to prove some monotonicity and convexity results for the modified Struve function of the second kind by using its integral representation. Moreover, as consequences of these results, we present some functional inequalities (like Turán type inequalities) as well as lower and upper bounds for modified Struve function of the second kind and its logarithmic derivative.
In \cite{II}, authors introduced the concept of harmonically $(s,m)$-convex functions in second sense which unifies different type of convexities and is more general notion of Harmonic convexity. In this paper, authors obtain new estimates on generalization of Hermite-Hadamard and Simpson type inequalities for this larger class of functions.
Motivated by the well-known implications among $t$-convexity properties of real functions, analogous relations among the upper and lower $M$-convexity properties of real functions are established. More precisely, having an $n$-tuple $(M_1,\dots,M_n)$ of continuous two-variable means, the notion of the descendant of these means (which is also an $n$-tuple $(N_1,\dots,N_n)$ of two-variable means) is introduced. In particular, when all the means $M_i$ are weighted arithmetic, then the components of their descendants are also weighted arithmetic means. More general statements are obtained in terms…
This article studies the monotonicity, log-convexity of the modified Lommel functions by using its power series and infinite product representation. Same properties for the ratio of the modified Lommel functions with the Lommel function, $\sinh$ and $\cosh$ are also discussed. As a consequence, some Turán type and reverse Turán type inequalities are given. A Rayleigh type function for the Lommel functions are derived and as an application, we obtain the Redheffer-type inequality.
We find an integral representation for the generalized hypergeometric function unifying known representations via generalized Stieltjes, Laplace and cosine Fourier transforms. Using positivity conditions for the weight in this representation we establish various new facts regarding generalized hypergeometric functions, including complete monotonicity, log-convexity in upper parameters, monotonicity of ratios and new proofs of Luke's bounds. Besides, we derive two-sided inequalities for the Bessel type hypergeometric functions by using their series representations.
The generalized divided differences are introduced. They are applied to investigate some properties characterizing generalized higher-order convexity. Among others some support-type property is proved.
In this paper we prove some monotonicity, log--convexity and log--concavity properties for the Volterra and incomplete Volterra functions. Moreover, as consequences of these results, we present some functional inequalities (like Turán type inequalities) as well as we determined sharp upper and lower bounds for the normalized incomplete Volterra functions in terms of weighted power means.
In this paper, by using a general result on the monotonicity of quotients of power series, our aim is to prove some monotonicity and convexity results for the modified Struve functions. Moreover, as consequences of the above mentioned results, we present some functional inequalities as well as lower and upper bounds for modified Struve functions. Our main results complement and improve the results of Joshi and Nalwaya [11].
The article considers the generalized k-Bessel functions and represents it as Wright functions. Then we study the monotonicity properties of the ratio of two different orders k- Bessel functions, and the ratio of the k-Bessel and the m-Bessel functions. The log-convexity with respect to the order of the k-Bessel also given. An investigation regarding the monotonicity of the ratio of the k-Bessel and k-confluent hypergeometric functions are discussed.
In this paper our aim is to present some monotonicity and convexity properties for the one dimensional regularization of the Coulomb potential, which has applications in the study of atoms in magnetic fields and which is in fact a particular case of the Tricomi confluent hypergeometric function. Moreover, we present some Turán type inequalities for the function in the question and we deduce from these inequalities some new tight upper bounds for the Mills ratio of the standard normal distribution.
In this paper we study a class of nonlinearities for which a nonlocal parabolic equation with Neumann-Robin boundary conditions, for $p$-Laplacian, has finite time blow-up solutions.
