Abstract

We investigate the convexity property on (0,1)(0,1) of the functions φa,b,c\varphi_{a,b,c} and 1/φa,b,c1/\varphi_{a,b,c}, where φa,b,c(x)=clog(1x)2F1(a,b,a+b,x),\varphi_{a,b,c}(x)= \frac{c-\log(1-x)}{\,_2F_1(a,b,a+b,x)}, whenever a,b0a,b\geq 0 and a+b1a+b\leq 1. We Show that φa,b,c\varphi_{a,b,c} (respectively 1/φa,b,c1/\varphi_{a,b,c}) is strictly convex on (0,1)(0,1) if and only if c2γψ(a)ψ(b),c\leq -2\gamma-\psi(a)-\psi(b), (respectively cα0c\geq\alpha_0) and φa,b,c\varphi_{a,b,c} (respectively 1/φa,b,c1/\varphi_{a,b,c}) is strictly concave on (0,1)(0,1) if and only if cc(a,b)c\geq c(a,b) (respectively c[δ,δ+]c\in[\delta_-,\delta_+]), where ψ\psi is the Polygamma function. This generalizes some problems posed by Yang and Tian and complete the study of convexity properties of functions studied by the author in [bouali]. As applications of the convexity and concavity, we establish among other inequalities, that for all x(0,1)x\in(0,1), a,b[0,1]a,b\in[0,1], a+b1a+b\leq 1 and cc(a,b)c\geq c(a,b) c+Γ(a)Γ(b)Γ(a+b)clog(1x)2F1(a,b,a+b,x)+clog(x)2F1(a,b,a+b,1x)(2c+2log2)2F1(a,b;a+b;1/2),c+\frac{\Gamma(a)\Gamma(b)}{\Gamma(a+b)}\leq \frac{c-\log(1-x)}{\,_2F_1(a,b,a+b,x)}+\frac{c-\log(x)}{\,_2F_1(a,b,a+b,1-x)}\leq\frac{(2c+2\log 2)}{\,_2{F}_1(a,b;a+b;1/2)}, and for all x(0,1)x\in(0,1), a,b[0,1]a,b\in[0,1], a+b1a+b\leq 1 and c[δ,δ+]c\in [\delta_-,\delta_+] 1c+Γ(a+b)Γ(a)Γ(b)2F1(a,b,a+b,x)clog(1x)+2F1(a,b,a+b,1x)clog(x)2F1(a,b;a+b;1/2)(2c+2log2).\frac1c+\frac{\Gamma(a+b)}{\Gamma(a)\Gamma(b)}\leq \frac{\,_2F_1(a,b,a+b,x)}{c-\log(1-x)}+\frac{\,_2F_1(a,b,a+b,1-x)}{c-\log(x)}\leq\frac{\,_2{F}_1(a,b;a+b;1/2)}{(2c+2\log 2)}.
