Our proofs are based on some bounds for the logarithmic derivatives of these functions, which are in fact equivalent to the corresponding Turán-type inequalities for these functions. As an application of the results concerning the modified Bessel function of the second kind, we prove that the cumulative distribution function of the gamma–gamma distribution is log-concave. At the end of this paper, several open problems are posed, which may be of interest for further research.

These results improve some known bounds in the literature and are deduced from the well-known Wallis inequality, which has been studied extensively in the last 10 years.

Our aim is to present interesting geometric properties and functional inequalities for these generalized Bessel functions. Moreover, we extend many known inequalities involving circular and hyperbolic functions to Bessel and modified Bessel functions.

The proofs are based on the so-called monotone form of l'Hospital's rule and permit us to extend our results to the case of the concavity (convexity) with respect to Hölder means. To illustrate the applications of the main results, we discuss in details the geometrical concavity of the probability density function, cumulative distribution function and survival function of some common continuous univariate distributions. Moreover, at the end of the paper, we present a simple alternative proof to Schweizer's problem related to the Mulholland's generalization of Minkowski's inequality.

These results complete the earlier result of P. Turán proved for Legendre polynomials. Moreover we show that there is a close connection between a Turán type inequality and a sharp lower bound for the generalized complete elliptic integral of the first kind. At the end of this paper we prove a recent conjecture of T. Sugawa and M. Vuorinen related to estimates of the hyperbolic distance of the twice punctured plane. LA - English DB - MTMT ER -
