Simple inequalities for some integrals involving the modified Bessel functions $I_{\nu}(x)$ and $K_{\nu}(x)$ are established. We also obtain a monotonicity result for $K_{\nu}(x)$ and a new lower bound, that involves gamma functions, for…

We obtain a simple two-sided inequality for the ratio $\mathbf{L}_\nu(x)/\mathbf{L}_{\nu-1}(x)$ in terms of the ratio $I_\nu(x)/I_{\nu-1}(x)$, where $\mathbf{L}_\nu(x)$ is the modified Struve function of the first kind and $I_\nu(x)$ is the…
In this paper, we investigate the monotonicity of the functions $t \mapsto \frac{\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k w_k(t)}{\sum_{k=0}^\infty b_k w_k(t)}$ and $x \mapsto \frac{\int_\alpha^\beta f(t) w(t,x) \textrm{d} t}{\int_\alpha^\beta g(t) w(t,x)…
Let $a_{\nu,k}$ be the $k$-th positive zero of the cross-product of Bessel functions $J_\nu(R z) Y_\nu(z) - J_\nu(z) Y_\nu(R z)$, where $\nu\geq 0$ and $R>1$. We derive an initial value problem for a first order differential equation whose…

In this paper we generalize the monotonicity formulas of [C] for manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Monotone quantities play a key role in analysis and geometry; see, e.g., [A], [CM1] and [GL] for applications of monotonicity to…
For warped products with harmonic curvature, nonconstant warping functions $\phi$, and compact two-dimensional bases $(M,h)$, we establish a dichotomy: either the Gaussian curvature $K$ of the metric $g=\phi^{-2}h$ is constant and negative,…
We consider singular solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations under zero Dirichlet boundary condition. Under suitable assumptions on the nonlinearity we deduce symmetry and monotonicity properties of positive solutions via an improved…
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 relate the uniqueness of asymptotic limits for noncollapsed Ricci flat manifolds with linear volume growth to the existence of a harmonic function asymptotic to a Busemann function. Parallel to the work of Colding--Minicozzi in the…
