Sharp Becker-Stark's type inequalities with power exponential functions (Q903205)

The paper contains several inequalities of the type \[ \left(\frac{8}{\pi^2-4x^2} \right)^{\alpha (x)} < \frac{\tan x}{x} < \left(\frac{8}{\pi^2-4x^2} \right)^{\beta (x)}, \quad x\in I, \] with \(\alpha\), \(\beta\) real functions defined on an open interval \(I\) contained in \((0, \pi/2)\). For instance, Theorem 2.1 asserts that such an inequality holds for \(I=(0, 0.5\sqrt{\pi^2-8})\), \(\alpha (x)=0\), \(\beta(x)=\frac{2}{2x-\sqrt{\pi^2-8}} +\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi^2-8}}\).
