Some well-known results of Grönwall on logarithmic derivative of modified Bessel functions of the first kind concerning exponential bounds are extended to Whittaker functions of the first and second kind M_{\kappa,\mu } and W_{\kappa,\mu }. Moreover, a complete monotonicity result is proved for the logarithmic derivative of the Whittaker function W_{\kappa,\mu }, and some monotonicity results with respect to the parameters and argument are shown for the logarithmic derivative of M_{\kappa,\mu }. The results extend and complement the known results in the literature about modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Turán type inequalities for modified Bessel functions of the first kind are used to deduce some sharp lower and upper bounds for the asymptotic order parameter of the stochastic Kuramoto model. Moreover, approximation from the Lagrange inversion theorem and a rational approximation are given for the asymptotic order parameter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this note our aim is to point out that certain inequalities for modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind, deduced recently by Laforgia and Natalini, are in fact equivalent to the corresponding Turán type inequalities for these functions. Moreover, we present some new Turán type inequalities for the aforementioned functions and we show that their product is decreasing as a function of the order, which has an application in the study of stability of radially symmetric solutions in a generalized FitzHugh-Nagumo equation in two spatial dimensions. At the end of this note an open problem is posed, which may be of interest for further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: In this paper we consider the generalized Marcum Q-function of order ν >0 real, defined bywhere a >0, b ⩾0 and I ν stands for the modified Bessel function of the first kind. Our aim is to extend some results on the (first order) Marcum Q-function to the generalized Marcum Q-function in order to deduce some new lower and upper bounds. Moreover, we show that the proposed bounds are very tight for the generalized Marcum Q-function of integer order, and we deduce some new inequalities for the more general case of real order. The chief tools in our proofs are some monotonicity properties of certain functions involving the modified Bessel function of the first kind, which are based on a criterion for the monotonicity of the quotient of two Maclaurin series.

In this paper our aim is to deduce some sharp Turán type inequalities for modified Bessel functions of the first and second kinds. Our proofs are based on explicit formulas for the Turánians of the modified Bessel functions of the first and second kinds and on a formula which is related to the infinite divisibility of the Student t-distribution.

Some new inequalities for quotients of modified Bessel functions of the first and second kinds are deduced. Moreover, some developments on bounds for modified Bessel functions of the first and second kinds, higher-order monotonicity properties of these functions and applications to a special function that arises in finite elasticity, are summarized. The key tool in our proofs is a frequently used criterion for the monotonicity of the quotient of two Maclaurin series. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: In this paper we study the generalized Marcum Q-function of order real, defined by where , and stands for the modified Bessel function of the first kind. Our aim is to improve and extend some recent results of Wang to the generalized Marcum Q-function in order to deduce some sharp lower and upper bounds. In both cases and we give the best possible upper bound for . The key tools in our proofs are some monotonicity properties of certain functions involving the modified Bessel function of the first kind. These monotonicity properties are deduced from some results on modified Bessel functions, which have been used in wave mechanics and finite elasticity. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the generalized Marcum Q-function of order real, defined bywhere , stands for the modified Bessel function of the first kind and the right hand side of the above equation is replaced by its limiting value when . Our aim is to prove that the function is strictly increasing on for each , , and to deduce some interesting inequalities for the function . Moreover, we present a somewhat new viewpoint of the generalized Marcum Q-function, by showing that satisfies the new-is-better-than-used (nbu) property, which arises in economic theory.
