We find two-sided inequalities for the generalized hypergeometric function of the form ${_{q+1}}F_{q}(-x)$ with positive parameters restricted by certain additional conditions. Both lower and upper bounds agree with the value of ${_{q+1}}F_{q}(-x)$ at the endpoints of positive semi-axis and are asymptotically precise at one of the endpoints. The inequalities are derived from a theorem asserting the monotony of the quotient of two generalized hypergeometric functions with shifted parameters. The proofs hinge on a generalized Stieltjes representation of the generalized hypergeometric function. This representation also provides yet another method to deduce the second Thomae relation for ${_{3}F_{2}}(1)$ and leads to an integral representations of ${_{4}F_{3}}(x)$ in terms of the Appell function $F_3$. In the last section of the paper we list some open questions and conjectures.
In this paper we prove monotonicity of some ratios of $q$--Kummer confluent hypergeometric and $q$--hypergeometric functions. The results are also closely connected with Turán type inequalities. In order to obtain main results we apply methods developed earlier by the authors for the case of classical Kummer and Gauss hypergeometric functions.
In 1993 one of the authors formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series sections. They lead to more general conjecture on monotonicity of ratios of Kummer hypergeometric functions and was not proved from 1993. In this paper we prove these conjectures in the more general setting for Kummer hypergeometric functions and its further generalizations for Gauss and generalized hypergeometric functions. The results are also closely connected with Turan--type inequalities.
In the preprint of 1993 the author formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series remainders. They are equivalent to conjectures on monotonicity of a ratio of Kummer hypergeometric functions and presumably not proved still. In this short note the most interesting conjecture from the preprint of 1993 is reproduced with its generalizations. In the updated version an important information is added that conjectures 1, 2 and also problems 1, 2 were recently proved by Khaled Mehrez from IPEIM, Tunisia, for details cf. arXiv:1410.6120. Also the results on monotonicity we…
The authors establish the necessary and sufficient conditions under which certain combinations of Gaussian hypergeometric function and elementary function are monotone in the parameter, which generalize the recent results of generalized elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds obtained by Qiu et al. Moreover, the authors also prove two monotonicity theorems of generalized elliptic integrals from another point of view.
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.
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 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 we deduce some tight Turán type inequalities for Tricomi confluent hypergeometric functions of the second kind, which in some cases improve the existing results in the literature. We also give alternative proofs for some already established Turán type inequalities. Moreover, by using these Turán type inequalities, we deduce some new inequalities for Tricomi confluent hypergeometric functions of the second kind. The key tool in the proof of the Turán type inequalities is an integral representation for a quotient of Tricomi confluent hypergeometric functions, which arises in the st…
In this paper, a generalization of Ramanujan's cubic transformation, in the form of an inequality, is proved for zero-balanced Gaussian hypergeometric function $F(a,b;a+b;x)$, $a,b>0$.
For zero-balanced Gaussian hypergeometric functions $ F(a,b;a+b;x),$ $a,b>0,$ we determine maximal regions of $ab$ plane where well-known Landen identities for the complete elliptic integral of the first kind turn on respective inequalities valid for each $x\in (0,1)$. Thereby an exhausting answer is given to an open problem.
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…
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.
In this paper, we investigate the complete monotonicity of some functions involving gamma function. Using the monotonic properties of these functions, we derived some inequalities involving gamma and beta functions. Such inequalities arising in probability theory.
In this paper our aim is to present the completely monotonicity and convexity properties for the Wright function. As consequences of these results, we present some functional inequalities. Moreover, we derive the monotonicity and log-convexity results for the generalized Wright functions. As applications, we present several new inequalities (like Turán type inequalities) and we prove some geometric properties for four--parametric Mittag--Leffler functions.
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.
We establish some monotonicity results and functional inequalities for modified Lommel functions of the first kind. In particular, we obtain new Turán type inequalities and bounds for ratios of modified Lommel functions of the first kind, as well as the function itself. These results complement and in some cases improve on existing results, and also generalise a number of the results from the literature on monotonicity patterns and functional inequalities for the modified Struve function of the first kind.
In this paper, we consider the monotonicity of certain combinations of the Gaussian hypergeometric functions $F(a-1,b;a+b;1-x^c)$ and $F(a-1-δ,b+δ;a+b;1-x^d)$ on $(0,1)$ for $δ\in(a-1,0)$, and study the problem of comparing these two functions, thus get the largest value $δ_1=δ_1(a,c,d)$ such that the inequality $F(a-1,b;a+b;1-x^c)<F(a-1-δ,b+δ;a+b;1-x^d)$ holds for all $x\in (0,1)$.
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 the paper, the authors review origins, motivations, and generalizations of a series of inequalities involving several exponential functions and sums, establish three new inequalities involving finite exponential functions and sums by finding convexity of a function related to the generating function of the Bernoulli numbers, survey the history, backgrounds, generalizations, logarithmically complete monotonicity, and applications of a series of ratios of finite gamma functions, present complete monotonicity of a linear combination of finite trigamma functions, construct a new ratio of finite…
We deduce some new functional inequalities, like Turán type inequalities, Redheffer type inequalities, and a Mittag-Leffler expansion for a special combination of modified Bessel functions of the first kind, called modified Dini functions. Moreover, we show the complete monotonicity of a quotient of modified Dini functions by introducing a new continuous infinitely divisible probability distribution. The key tool in our proofs is a recently developed infinite product representation for a special combination of Bessel functions of the first, which was very useful in determining the radius of co…
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.
We prove some new results and unify the proofs of old ones involving complete monotonicity of expressions involving gamma and $q$-gamma functions, $0 < q < 1$. Each of these results implies the infinite divisibility of a related probability measure. In a few cases, we are able to get simple monotonicity without having complete monotonicity. All of the results lead to inequalities for these functions. Many of these were motivated by the bounds in a 1959 paper by Walter Gautschi. We show that some of the bounds can be extended to complex arguments.
Motivated by several conjectures posed in the paper " Completely monotonic degrees for a difference between the logarithmic and psi functions",we confirm in this work some conjectures on completely monotonic degrees of remainders of the asymptotic expansion of the logarithm of the gamma function and the digamma function and we give two bounded for this degrees.
In this paper our aim is to present some Landen inequalities for Gaussian hypergeometric functions, confluent hypergeometric functions, generalized Bessel functions and for general power series. Our main results complement and generalize some known results in the literature.
In this paper we study the Dini functions and the cross-product of Bessel functions. Moreover, we are interested on the monotonicity patterns for the cross-product of Bessel and modified Bessel functions. In addition, we deduce Redheffer-type inequalities, and the interlacing property of the zeros of Dini functions and the cross-product of Bessel and modified Bessel functions. Bounds for logarithmic derivatives of these functions are also derived. The key tools in our proofs are some recently developed infinite product representations for Dini functions and cross-product of Bessel functions.
Some sharp two-sided Turán type inequalities for parabolic cylinder functions and Tricomi confluent hypergeometric functions are deduced. The proofs are based on integral representations for quotients of parabolic cylinder functions and Tricomi confluent hypergeometric functions, which arise in the study of the infinite divisibility of the Fisher-Snedecor F distribution. Moroever, some complete monotonicity results are given concerning Turán determinants of Tricomi confluent hypergeometric functions. These complement and improve some of the results of Ismail and Laforgia [23].
For $m,n\in \mathbb{N}$, let $0 < α_i,β_j,λ_{ij} \leq 1$ be such that $\sum_{j=1}^n λ_{ij} = α_i$, $\sum_{i=1}^m λ_{ij} = β_j$, and $\sum_{i=1}^m α_i = \sum_{j=1}^n β_j \leq 1$. We prove that the ratio of gamma functions \begin{equation*} \hspace{-15mm}t \mapsto \frac{\prod_{i=1}^m Γ(α_i t + 1) \prod_{j=1}^n Γ(β_j t + 1)}{\prod_{i=1}^m \prod_{j=1}^n Γ(λ_{ij} t + 1)} \end{equation*} is logarithmically completely monotonic on $(0,\infty)$. This result complements the logarithmically complete monotonicity of multinomial probabilities shown in Ouimet (2018), Qi et al (2018), and the recent survey …
In this paper we apply generalized Stieltjes transform representation to study the generalized hypergeometric function. Among the results thus proved are new integral representations, inequalities, properties of the Padé table and the properties of the generalized hypergeometric function as a conformal map.
In this expository and survey paper, along one of main lines of bounding the ratio of two gamma functions, we look back and analyse some inequalities, the complete monotonicity of several functions involving ratios of two gamma or $q$-gamma functions, the logarithmically complete monotonicity of a function involving the ratio of two gamma functions, some new bounds for the ratio of two gamma functions and divided differences of polygamma functions, and related monotonicity results.
In this paper our aim is to deduce some complete monotonicity properties and functional inequalities for the Bickley function. The key tools in our proofs are the classical integral inequalities, like Chebyshev, Hölder-Rogers, Cauchy-Schwarz, Carlson and Grüss inequalities, as well as the monotone form of l'Hospital's rule. Moreover, we prove the complete monotonicity of a determinant function of which entries involve the Bickley function.
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 in [\emph{Inequalities and monotonicity for the ratio of gamma functions}, Taiwanese J. Math. \textbf{7} (2003), no.~2, 239\nobreakdash--247.] and others. As applications, several inequalities involving the volume of the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are derived, which refine, generalize and extend some known inequalities.
In the paper, the author derives several "diagonal" recurrence relations, constructs some inequalities, finds monotonicity, and poses a conjecture related to Stirling numbers of the second kind.
For $a,b>0$ with $a\neq b$, we define M_{p}=M^{1/p}(a^{p},b^{p})\text{if}p\neq 0 \text{and} M_{0}=\sqrt{ab}, where $M=A,He,L,I,P,T,N,Z$ and $Y$ stand for the arithmetic mean, Heronian mean, logarithmic mean, identric (exponential) mean, the first Seiffert mean, the second Seiffert mean, Neuman-Sándor mean, power-exponential mean and exponential-geometric mean, respectively. Generally, if $M$ is a mean of $a$ and $b$, then $M_{p}$ is also, and call "power-type mean". We prove the power-type means $P_{p}$, $T_{p}$, $N_{p}$, $Z_{p}$ are increasing in $p$ on $\mathbb{R}$ and establish sharp inequa…
Complete monotonicity, Laguerre and Turán type inequalities are established for the so-called Krätzel function $Z_ρ^ν,$ defined by $$Z_ρ^ν(u)=\int_0^{\infty}t^{ν-1}e^{-t^ρ-\frac{u}{t}}\dt,$$ where $u>0$ and $ρ,ν\in\mathbb{R}.$ Moreover, we prove the complete monotonicity of a determinant function of which entries involve the Krätzel function.
We find sufficient conditions for log-convexity and log-concavity for the functions of the forms $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}(a)_kx^k$, $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}Γ(a+k)x^k$ and $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}x^k/(a)_k$. The most useful examples of such functions are generalized hypergeometric functions. In particular, we generalize the Turán inequality for the confluent hypergeometric function recently proved by Barnard, Gordy and Richards and log-convexity results for the same function recently proved by Baricz. Besides, we establish a reverse inequality which complements naturally the inequality of Barnard, Gordy and Rich…
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].
In this paper, we obtain new results related to Minkowski fractional integral inequality using generalized k-fractional integral operator which is in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric function.
In this paper, using generalized k-fractional integral operator (in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric function), we establish new results on generalized k-fractional integral inequalities by considering the extended Chebyshev functional in case of synchronous function and some other inequalities.
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.
We prove complete monotonicity of sums of squares of generalized Baskakov basis functions by deriving the corresponding results for hypergeometric functions. Moreover, in the central Baskakov case we study the distribution of the complex zeros for large values of a parameter. We finally discuss the extension of some results for sums of higher powers.
The paper studies logarithmic convexity and concavity of power series with coefficients involving q-gamma functions or q-shifted factorials with respect to a parameter contained in their arguments. The principal motivating examples of such series are basic hypergeometric functions. We consider four types of series. For each type we establish conditions sufficient for the power series coefficients of the generalized Turánian formed by these series to have constant sign. Finally, we furnish seven examples of basic hypergeometric functions satisfying our general theorems. This investigation exten…

A new Hilbert-type integral inequality in the whole plane with the non-homogeneous kernel and parameters is given. The constant factor related to the hypergeometric function and the beta function is proved to be the best possible. As applications, equivalent forms, the reverses, some particular examples, two kinds of Hardy-type inequalities, and operator expressions are considered.
In this paper, we investigate the monotonicity and inequalities for some functions involving the arc lemniscate and the hyperbolic arc lemniscate functions. In particular, sharp Shafer-Fink type inequalities for the arc lemniscate and the hyperbolic arc lemniscate functions are proved.
In this note, we present monotonicity results of a function involving to the inverse hyperbolic sine. From these, we derive some inequalities for bounding the inverse hyperbolic sine.
In this note we study the monotonicity of the function $x\mapsto ψ(1 +bx)^a/ψ(1 + ax)^b$. We also give the several inequalities involving the psi function, whic is the logarithmic derivative of the gamma function.
In this paper we investigate the monotonicity properties related to the ratio of gamma functions, from which some related asymptotics and inequalities are established. Some special cases also confirm the conjectures of C.-P. Chen [Monotonicity properties, inequalities, and asymptotic expansions associated with the gamma function. Appl. Math. Comput. 283 (2016), 385--396.].
Simple inequalities for some integrals involving the modified Struve function of the first kind $\mathbf{L}_ν(x)$ are established. In most cases, these inequalities have best possible constant. We also deduce a tight double inequality, involving the modified Struve function $\mathbf{L}_ν(x)$, for a generalized hypergeometric function.
In this paper, we study completete monotonicity properties of the function $f_{a,k}(x)=ψ^{(k)}(x+a) - ψ^{(k)}(x) - \frac{ak!}{x^{k+1}}$, where $a\in(0,1)$ and $k\in \mathbb{N}_0$. Specifically, we consider the cases for $k\in \{ 2n: n\in \mathbb{N}_0 \}$ and $k\in \{ 2n+1: n\in \mathbb{N}_0 \}$. Subsequently, we deduce some inequalities involving the polygamma functions.
In this note our aim is to deduce some new monotonicity properties for a special combination of Bessel functions of the first kind by using a recently developed Mittag-Leffler expansion for the derivative of a normalized Bessel function of the first kind.
