obtained some inequalities of the type

according to the values of the positive parameters ~ and 2, valid for every non-negative real value of k, or at least for k greater than or equal than a k o depending on a and 2. In this paper a complete analysis of the problem is carried out, in order to establish, for fixed 0Β’ and 2, which of the two former inequalities holds, and for which values ofk. ~. t-E3 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

We prove that for all positive real numbers x ~ 1, the harmonic mean of (F(x)) 2 and (F(1/x)) 2 is greater than 1. This refines a result of Gautschi (1974).

We propose a method, based on logarithmic convexity, for producing sharp Ž . Ž . bounds for the ratio ⌫ x q ␀ r⌫ x . As an application, we present an inequality that sharpens and generalizes inequalities due to Gautschi, Chu, Boyd, Lazarevic-Ĺupas ¸, and Kershaw.

The best known upper bound on the permanent of a O-l matrix relies on the knowledge of the number of nonzero entries per row. In certain applications only the total number of nonzero entries is known. In order to derive bounds in this situation we prove that the function f:( -1, co) + l%, defined by

In this work, a functional generalization of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is presented for both discrete and continuous cases and some of its subclasses are then introduced. It is also shown that many well-known inequalities related to the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality are special cases of the inequali

Gautschi, Kershaw, Lorch, Laforgia and other authors gave several inequalities for the ratio F(x + 1 )/F(x + s) where, as usual, F denotes the gamma function. In this paper we give a unified treatment of all their results and prove, among other things, new inequalities for the above ratio, which inv
