We find sufficient conditions for log-convexity and log-concavity for the functions of the forms $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}(a)_kx^k$, $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}\Gamma(a+k)x^k$ and $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}x^k/(a)_k$. The most useful examples of such functions are…

Euler's gamma function is logarithmically convex on positive semi-axis. Additivity of logarithmic convexity implies that the function sum of gammas with non-negative coefficients is also log-convex. In this paper we investigate the series…
In 1993 one of the authors formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series sections. They lead to more general conjecture on monotonicity of ratios of Kummer hypergeometric functions and was not proved from…
The logarithmic convexity of restrictions of the Beta functions to rays parallel to the main diagonal and the functional equation \[ \phi\left( x+1\right) =\frac{x\left( x+k\right) }{\left( 2x+k+1\right) \left( 2x+k\right) }\phi\left(…
The incomplete beta function is an important special function in statistics. In modern theory of hypergeometric functions, we regard hypergeometric functions as pairings of twisted cycles and twisted cocycles. However, the incomplete beta…
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…
In a recent paper (Asci \textit{et al.}, 2008) it has been shown that certain random continued fractions have a density which is a product of a beta density and a hypergeometric function $_{2}F_{1}$. In the present paper we fully exploit a…

In this paper our aim is to show some mean value inequalities for the modified Bessel functions of the first and second kinds. Our proofs are based on some bounds for the logarithmic derivatives of these functions, which are in fact…
In 1922, Harald Bohr and Johannes Mollerup established a remarkable characterization of the Euler gamma function using its log-convexity property. A decade later, Emil Artin investigated this result and used it to derive the basic…

The normal distribution is well-known for several results that it is the only to fulfil. The aim of the present paper is to show that many of these characterizations actually follow from the fact that the derivative of the log-density of…
