In this present paper, we establish the log-convexity and Tur\'an type inequalities of extended $(p,q)$-beta functions. Also, we present the log-convexity, the monotonicity and Tur\'an type inequalities for extended $(p,q)$-confluent…

The modified Lommel function $t_{\mu,\nu}(x)$ is an important special function, but to date there has been little progress on the problem of obtaining functional inequalities for $t_{\mu,\nu}(x)$. In this paper, we advance the literature…

We consider the Lommel functions $s_{\mu,\nu}(z)$ for different values of the parameters $(\mu,\nu)$. We show that if $(\mu,\nu)$ are half integers, then it is possible to describe these functions with an explicit combination of polynomials…

Simple upper and lower bounds are established for the integral $\int_0^x\mathrm{e}^{-\beta t}t^\nu \mathbf{L}_\nu(t)\,\mathrm{d}t$, where $x>0$, $\nu>-1$, $0<\beta<1$ and $\mathbf{L}_\nu(x)$ is the modified Struve function of the first…

In this paper, mainly using the convexity of the function $\frac{a^x-b^x}{c^x-d^x}$ and convexity or concavity of the function $\ln\frac{a^x-b^x}{c^x-d^x}$ on the real line, where $a>b\geq c>d>0$ are fixed real numbers, we obtain some…

In this paper, we obtain a new class of functions, which is developed via the Hermite--Hadamard inequality for convex functions. The well-known one-one correspondence between the class of operator monotone functions and operator connections…

It is known that a real function $f$ is convex if and only if the set $$\mathrm{E}(f)=\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R};\ f(x)\leq y\},$$ the epigraph of $f$ is a convex set in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We state an extension of this result for…

Let $f_{\bf c}(r)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty e^{c_n}r^n$ be an analytic function; ${\bf c}=(c_n)\in l_\infty$. We assume that $r$ is some logarithmically convex and lower semicontinuous functional on a locally convex topological space $L$. In this…

Operator convex functions defined on the positive half-line play a prominent role in the theory of quantum information, where they are used to define quantum $f$-divergences. Such functions admit integral representations in terms of…

This note deals with certain properties of convex functions. We provide results on the convexity of the set of minima of these functions, the behaviour of their subgradient set under restriction, and optimization of these functions over an…

The matrix convexity and the matrix monotony of a real $C^1$ function $f$ on $(0,\infty)$ are characterized in terms of the conditional negative or positive definiteness of the Loewner matrices associated with $f$, $tf(t)$, and $t^2f(t)$.…

We obtain the specialization of monomial symmetric functions on the alphabet (a-b)/(1-q). This gives a remarkable algebraic identity, and four new developments for the Macdonald polynomial associated with a row. The proofs are given in the…

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…
