Landen-type inequality for Bessel functions (Q2492085)

A particular solution \(u_p\) of the differential equation \[ 4x^2u''(x)+2(2p+b+1)xu'(x)+cxu(x)=0, \] is called the generalized and normalized Bessel function of the first kind of order \(p\). Let \(\lambda(r)=u_p(r^2)\) with \(r\in (0,1)\). The authors prove that the Landen-type inequality \[ \lambda\left({2\sqrt{r}\over 1+r}\right)< C \lambda(r), \qquad r\in (0,1), \] holds for certain conditions on the parameters \(b,c,p\). This result is motivated by an open problem of Anderson, Vamanamurthy and Vuorinen for the Gaussian hypergeometric functions.
