Radii of starlikeness and convexity of some $q$-Bessel functions

Geometric properties of the Jackson and Hahn-Exton $q$-Bessel functions are studied. For each of them, three different normalizations are applied in such a way that the resulting functions are analytic in the unit disk of the complex plane. For each of the six functions we determine the radii of starlikeness and convexity precisely by using their Hadamard factorization. These are $q$-generalizations of some known results for Bessel functions of the first kind. The characterization of entire functions from the Laguerre-Pólya class via hyperbolic polynomials play an important role in this paper. Moreover, the interlacing property of the zeros of Jackson and Hahn-Exton $q$-Bessel functions and their derivatives is also useful in the proof of the main results. We also deduce a sufficient and necessary condition for the close-to-convexity of a normalized Jackson $q$-Bessel function and its derivatives. Some open problems are proposed at the end of the paper.

Van der Corput inequalities for Bessel functions

In this note we offer some log-concavity properties of certain functions related to Bessel functions of the first kind and modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind, by solving partially a recent conjecture on the log-convexity/log-concavity properties for modified Bessel functions of the first kind and their derivatives. Moreover, we give an application of the mentioned results by extending two inequalities of van der Corput to Bessel and modified Bessel functions of the first kind. Similar inequalities are proved also for modified Bessel functions of the second kind, as well as for log-concave probability density functions.

Radii of starlikeness of some special functions

Geometric properties of the classical Lommel and Struve functions, both of the first kind, are studied. For each of them, there different normalizations are applied in such a way that the resulting functions are analytic in the unit disc of the complex plane. For each of the six functions we determine the radius of starlikeness precisely.

On an identity for zeros of Bessel functions

In this paper our aim is to present an elementary proof of an identity of Calogero concerning the zeros of Bessel functions of the first kind. Moreover, by using our elementary approach we present a new identity for the zeros of Bessel functions of the first kind, which in particular reduces to some other new identities. We also show that our method can be applied for the zeros of other special functions, like Struve functions of the first kind, and modified Bessel functions of the second kind.

Close-to-convexity of some special functions and their derivatives

In this paper our aim is to deduce some sufficient (and necessary) conditions for the close-to-convexity of some special functions and their derivatives, like Bessel functions, Struve functions, and a particular case of Lommel functions of the first kind, which can be expressed in terms of the hypergeometric function ${}_1F_2$. The key tool in our proofs is a result of Shah and Trimble about transcendental entire functions with univalent derivatives. Moreover, a known result of Pólya on entire functions, the infinite product representations and some results on zeros of Bessel, Struve and Lommel functions of the first kind are used in order to achieve the main results of the paper.

Monotonicity properties of some Dini 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. These monotonicity properties are used to obtain some new inequalities for Bessel functions of the first kind.

The radius of convexity of normalized Bessel functions of the first kind

In this paper we determine the radius of convexity for three kind of normalized Bessel functions of the first kind. In the mentioned cases the normalized Bessel functions are starlike-univalent and convex-univalent, respectively, on the determined disks. The key tools in the proofs of the main results are some new Mittag-Leffler expansions for quotients of Bessel functions of the first kind, special properties of the zeros of Bessel functions of the first kind and their derivative, and the fact that the smallest positive zeros of some Dini functions are less than the first positive zero of the Bessel function of the first kind. Moreover, we find the optimal parameters for which these normalized Bessel functions are convex in the open unit disk. In addition, we disprove a conjecture of Baricz and Ponnusamy concerning the convexity of the Bessel function of the first kind.

Functional inequalities for generalized inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions

Various miscellaneous functional inequalities are deduced for the so-called generalized inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. For instance, functional inequalities for sums, difference and quotient of generalized inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions are given, as well as some Grünbaum inequalities with the aid of the classical Bernoulli inequality. Moreover, by means of certain already derived bounds, bilateral bounding inequalities are obtained for the generalized hypergeometric ${}_3F_2$ Clausen function.

Turán type inequalities for Struve functions

Some Turán type inequalities for Struve functions of the first kind are deduced by using various methods developed in the case of Bessel functions of the first and second kind. New formulas, like Mittag-Leffler expansion, infinite product representation for Struve functions of the first kind, are obtained, which may be of independent interest. Moreover, some complete monotonicity results and functional inequalities are deduced for Struve functions of the second kind. These results complement naturally the known results for a particular case of Lommel functions of the first kind, and for modified Struve functions of the first and second kind.

Turán type inequalities for generalized inverse trigonometric functions

In this paper we study the inverse of the eigenfunction $\sin_p$ of the one-dimensional $p$-Laplace operator and its dependence on the parameter $p$, and we present a Turán type inequality for this function. Similar inequalities are given also for other generalized inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. In particular, we deduce a Turán type inequality for a series considered by Ramanujan, involving the digamma function.

Turán type inequalities for some Lommel functions of the first kind

In this paper certain Turán type inequalities for some Lommel functions of the first kind are deduced. The key tools in our proofs are the infinite product representation for these Lommel functions of the first kind, a classical result of G. Pólya on the zeros of some particular entire functions, and the connection of these Lommel functions with the so-called Laguerre-Pólya class of entire functions. Moreover, it is shown that in some cases J. Steinig's results on the sign of Lommel functions of the first kind combined with the so-called monotone form of l'Hospital's rule can be used in the proof of the corresponding Turán type inequalities.

Inequalities for the one-dimensional analogous of the Coulomb potential

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.

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.

Bounds for Turánians of modified Bessel functions

Motivated by some applications in applied mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics and engineering sciences, new tight Turán type inequalities for modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind are deduced. These inequalities provide sharp lower and upper bounds for the Turánian of modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind, and in most cases the relative errors of the bounds tend to zero as the argument tends to infinity. The chief tools in our proofs are some ideas of Gronwall [19] on ordinary differential equations, an integral representation of Ismail [28,29] for the quotient of modified Bessel functions of the second kind and some results of Hartman and Watson [24,26,59]. As applications of the main results some sharp Turán type inequalities are presented for the product of modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind and it is shown that this product is strictly geometrically concave.

On a sum of modified Bessel functions

In this paper we consider a sum of modified Bessel functions of the first kind of which particular case is used in the study of Kanter's sharp modified Bessel function bound for concentrations of some sums of independent symmetric random vectors. We present some monotonicity and convexity properties for that sum of modified Bessel functions of the first kind, as well as some Turán type inequalities, lower and upper bounds. Moreover, we point out an error in Kanter's paper [Ka] and at the end of the paper we pose an open problem, which may be of interest for further research.

Integral representations and summations of modified Struve function

It is known that Struve function $\mathbf H_ν$ and modified Struve function $\mathbf L_ν$ are closely connected to Bessel function of the first kind $J_ν$ and to modified Bessel function of the first kind $I_ν$ and possess representations through higher transcendental functions like generalized hypergeometric ${}_1F_2$ and Meijer $G$ function. Also, the NIST project and Wolfram formula collection contain a set of Kapteyn type series expansions for $\mathbf L_ν(x)$. In this paper firstly, we obtain various another type integral representation formulae for $\mathbf L_ν(x)$ using the technique developed by D. Jankov and the authors. Secondly, we present some summation results for different kind of Neumann, Kapteyn and Schlömilch series built by $I_ν(x)$ and $\mathbf L_ν(x)$ which are connected by a Sonin--Gubler formula, and by the associated modified Struve differential equation. Finally, solving a Fredholm type convolutional integral equation of the first kind, Bromwich--Wagner line integral expressions are derived for the Bessel function of the first kind $J_ν$ and for an associated generalized Schlömilch series.
