Inequalities for Bessel functions (Q5903178)

\textit{R. B. Paris}, SIAM J. Math. Anal. 15, 203-205 (1984; Zbl 0536.33006) derived upper and lower bounds for the ratio \(J_{\nu}(\nu x)/[x^{\nu}J_{\nu}(\nu)]\) by using recurrence relations and Sonine's integral representation. The present author uses similar techniques to extend such results to general cylinder functions \(C_{\nu}(x,\alpha)=J_{\nu}(x)\cos \alpha -Y_{\nu}(x)\sin \alpha\) and to improve the results of Paris in the case \(\alpha =0\). Some examples of the author's results run as follows: \[ C_{\nu}(\nu t,\alpha) / [C_{\nu}(\nu,\alpha)t^{\nu}] > \exp (\nu^2(1-t^2) / (4\nu+4)), \quad \nu>0, \quad 0<t<1, \quad 0\leq\alpha\leq5\pi/6, \] and \[ J_{\nu}(j'_{\nu 1}t) / [J_{\nu}(j'_{\nu 1})t^{\nu}] < exp(j^{'2}_{\nu 1}(1-t^ 2)/(2\nu +4)), \quad \nu>0, \quad 0<t<1, \] where \(j'_{\nu1}\) is the smallest positive zero of \(J'_{\nu}(x)\).
