    \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.
