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…

A recent paper by C.G. Kokologiannaki published in J. Math. Anal. Appl. \cite{Kolo:2012:BFI} gives some properties for ratios of modified Bessel functions and, in particular, some bounds. These bounds are said to improve the range of some…
In this paper, we present and analyze the Clenshaw-Curtis-Filon methods for computing two classes of oscillatory Bessel transforms with algebraic or logarithmic singularities. More importantly, for these quadrature rules we derive new…

For any real numbers $B \ge 1$ and $\delta \in (0, 1)$ and function $f: [0, B] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, let $d_{B; \delta} (f) \in \mathbb{Z}_{> 0}$ denote the minimum degree of a polynomial $p(x)$ satisfying $\sup_{x \in [0, B]} \big| p(x)…
We propose two families of asymptotically local minimax lower bounds on parameter estimation performance. The first family of bounds applies to any convex, symmetric loss function that depends solely on the difference between the estimate…
We show how to find upper and lower bounds to the median of a gamma distribution, over the entire range of shape parameter $k > 0$, that are the tightest possible bounds of the form $2^{-1/k} (A + Bk)$, with closed-form parameters $A$ and…

We revisit the standard ``telescoping sum'' argument ubiquitous in the final steps of analyzing evaluation complexity of algorithms for smooth nonconvex optimization, and obtain a refined formulation of the resulting bound as a function of…
Parabolic Cylinder functions (PCFs) are classical special functions with applications in many different fields. However, there is little information available regarding simple uniform approximations and bounds for these functions. We obtain…
Let $\mathcal{N}\mathcal{F}$ be the class of smooth non-flat curves near the origin and near infinity previously introduced by the second author and let $\gamma\in\mathcal{N}\mathcal{F}$. We show - via a unifying approach relative to the…
This paper proposes new bounds for Marcum Q-function, which prove extremely tight and outperform all the bounds previously proposed in the literature. What is more, the proposed bounds are good and stable both for large values and small…
In this article, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the asymptotic behavior of Bell numbers, enhancing and unifying various results previously dispersed in the literature. We establish several explicit lower and upper bounds. The main…
In the paper, the authors discover the best constants $\alpha_{1}$, $\alpha_{2}$, $\beta_{1}$, and $\beta_{2}$ for the double inequalities $$ \alpha_{1}\bar{C}(a,b)+(1-\alpha_{1}) A(a,b)< T(a,b) <\beta_{1} \bar{C}(a,b)+(1-\beta_{1})A(a,b)…
Many functions have approximately-known upper and/or lower bounds, potentially aiding the modeling of such functions. In this paper, we introduce Gaussian process models for functions where such bounds are (approximately) known. More…
We give a shorter proof of Kanter's (1976) sharp Bessel function bound for concentrations of sums of independent symmetric random vectors. We provide sharp upper bounds for the sum of modified Bessel functions $I_0(x)+I_1(x)$, which might…
We study the minimax settings of binary classification with F-score under the $\beta$-smoothness assumptions on the regression function $\eta(x) = \mathbb{P}(Y = 1|X = x)$ for $x \in \mathbb{R}^d$. We propose a classification procedure…
In this note, pointwise best-possible (lower and upper) bounds on the set of copulas with a given value of the Gini's gamma coefficient are established. It is shown that, unlike the best-possible bounds on the set of copulas with a given…
