Convexity of the generalized sine function and the generalized hyperbolic sine function

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In the paper, the authors prove that the generalized sine function sinp,q(x) and the generalized hyperbolic sine function sinhp,q(x) are geometrically concave and geometrically convex, respectively. Consequently, the authors verify a conjecture posed in the paper "B. A. Bhayo and M. Vuorinen, On generalized trigonometric functions with two parameters, J. Approx. Theory 164 (2012), no.~10, 1415 obreakdash--1426; Available online at url{http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jat.2012.06.003}".


\textit{B. A. Bhayo} and \textit{M. Vuorinen} [J. Approx. Theory 164, No. 10, 1415--1426 (2012; Zbl 1257.33052)] have introduced and studied generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions with two parameters. They posed also a conjecture on the effect that, when the parameters are greater than 1, then the generalized sine function is geometrically concave, while the generalized hyperbolic function is geometrically convex. The authors offer a proof of this conjecture. The quite direct proof is based on well-known results on geometric convexity properties of functions.
