P\'olya in 1926 showed that the hypergeometric function $F(z)=\null_2F_1(a,b;c;z)$ has a totally monotone sequence as its coefficients; that is, $F$ is the generating function of a Hausdorff moment sequence, when $0\le a\le 1$ and $0\le…

In this manuscript, we present the complete monotonicity of functions defined in terms of the poly-double gamma function \begin{align*} \psi_2^{(n)}(x) = (-1)^{n+1} n! \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \dfrac{(1+k)}{(x+k)^{n+1}}, \quad x > 0, \ n\geq 2.…
In this paper, we use some standard numerical techniques to approximate the hypergeometric function $$ {}_2F_1[a,b;c;x]=1+\frac{ab}{c}x+\frac{a(a+1)b(b+1)}{c(c+1)}\frac{x^2}{2!}+\cdots $$ for a range of parameter triples $(a,b,c)$ on the…
Investigation of the generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions containing two parameters has been a very active research area over the last decade. We believe, however, that their monotonicity and convexity properties with respect…
We find two-sided inequalities for the generalized hypergeometric function of the form ${_{q+1}}F_{q}(-x)$ with positive parameters restricted by certain additional conditions. Both lower and upper bounds agree with the value of…
