We investigate the convexity property on $(0,1)$ of the functions $\varphi_{a,b,c}$ and $1/\varphi_{a,b,c}$, where $$\varphi_{a,b,c}(x)= \frac{c-\log(1-x)}{\,_2F_1(a,b,a+b,x)},$$ whenever $a,b\geq 0$ and $a+b\leq 1$. We Show that…
In this article we obtain new irrationality measures for values of functions which belong to a certain class of hypergeometric functions including shifted logarithmic functions, binomial functions and shifted exponential functions. We…
A convex function $f:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfies the so-called Hermite-Hadamard inequality $$ f\left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)\leq \frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^{b}f(t)dt\leq \frac{f(a)+f(b)}{2}. $$ Motivated by the above estimates, in this paper we…
Inspired by the work of C. Mortici [1] and A. Laforgia et. al [2] we have established some new Tur\'an-type inequalities for k-polygamma function and p-k-polygamma function.
In the present paper, we study the shifted hypergeometric function $f(z)=z\Gauss(a,b;c;z)$ for real parameters with $0<a\le b\le c$ and its variant $g(z)=z\Gauss(a,b;c;z^2).$ Our first purpose is to solve the range problems for $f$ and $g$…
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…
We prove that the (B) conjecture and the Gardner-Zvavitch conjecture are true for all log-concave measures that are rotationally invariant, extending previous results known for Gaussian measures. Actually, our result apply beyond the case…
In this paper we prove new bounds for sums of convex or concave functions. Specifically, we prove that for all $A,B \subseteq \mathbb R$ finite sets, and for all $f,g$ convex or concave functions, we have $$|A + B|^{38}|f(A) + g(B)|^{38}…
We show a general phenomenon of the constrained functional value for densities satisfying general convexity conditions, which generalizes the observation in Bobkov and Madiman (2011) that the entropy per coordinate in a log-concave random…
It is well-known that every convex function admits an affine support at every interior point of a domain. Convex functions of higher order (precisely of an odd order) have a similar property: they are supported by the polynomials of degree…
A classical result of Hensley provides a sharp lower bound for the functional $\int_\mathbb{R} t^2f$, where $f$ is a non-negative, even log-concave function. In the context of studying the minimal slabs of the unit cube, Barthe and…
We show that analytic analogs of Brunn-Minkowski-type inequalities fail for functional intrinsic volumes on convex functions. This is demonstrated both through counterexamples and by connecting the problem to results of Colesanti, Hug, and…
In this paper, we present sufficient conditions ensuring that the sum of the image of quadratic functions and the nonnegative orthant is convex. The hidden convexity of the trust-region problem with linear inequality constraints is…
In this paper, some new inequalities of the Hermite-Hadamard type for h- convex functions whose modulus of the derivatives are h-convex and applications for special means are given.
Some new Hermite-Hadamard's inequalities for h-convex functions are proved, generalizing and unifying a number of known results. Some new applications for special Means of real numbers are also derived.
This is a continuation of our previous work 0712.4092. It is well known that various isoperimetric inequalities imply their functional ``counterparts'', but in general this is not an equivalence. We show that under certain convexity…
We show that the convolution of the harmonic function $f=h+\bar{g}$, where $h(z)+{e}^{-2{i}\gamma}g(z)=z/(1-{e}^{{i}\gamma}z)$ having analytic dilatation ${e}^{{i}\theta} z^n (0\leq\theta<2\pi)$, with the mapping…
We prove the following theorems: 1) The Laurent expansions in epsilon of the Gauss hypergeometric functions 2F1(I_1+a*epsilon, I_2+b*epsilon; I_3+p/q + c epsilon; z), 2F1(I_1+p/q+a*epsilon, I_2+p/q+b*epsilon; I_3+ p/q+c*epsilon;z),…
We prove an intrinsic equivalence between strong hypercontractivity and a strong logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the cone of logarithmically subharmonic functions. We introduce a new large class of measures, Euclidean regular and…
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…
