Functional inequalities for the incomplete gamma function (Q641566): Difference between revisions

Let \(f_a(x)= \Gamma(a,x)/\Gamma(a,0)\), where \(\Gamma(a,x)\) denotes the incomplete gamma function \((a,x> 0)\). The authors prove various new functional inequalities for \(f_a(x)\). For example, they study the double inequality \[ f_a(S_p(x_1,\dots, x_n))\leq f_a(x_1)\cdots f_a(x_n)\leq f_a(S_q(x_1,\dots, x_n)), \] where \(S_t\) is the power sum of order \(t\). They also prove that \(f_a(x)\) is completely monotonic on \([0,\infty)\) iff \(a\in(0,1]\) and provide all parameters \(b\), \(c\) such that the function \(g(x)= [f_a(x^b)]^c\) is subadditive on \([0,\infty)\).
