Abstract

Discrete Chebyshev-type inequalities are established for sequences of modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind, recognizing that the sums involved are actually Neumann series of modified Bessel functions I ν and K ν . Moreover, new closed integral expression formulae are established for the Neumann series of second type, which occur in the discrete Chebyshev inequalities.

Notes

  1. 1.

    It is worth to mention here that the above procedure for modified Bessel functions is similar of the method for Bessel functions applied by Wilkins [27]. See also Andrews et al. [1] for more details. More precisely, Wilkins proved that the Hankel functions \(\big{(H_{\nu }^{(1)}\big)}^{2}\) and \(\big{(H_{\nu }^{(2)}\big)}^{2}\), as well as \(J_{\nu }^{2} + Y _{\nu }^{2}\), where J ν and Y ν stand for the Bessel functions of the first and second kind, are particular solutions of the third-order homogeneous differential equation [1, p. 225]

    $$\displaystyle{{x}^{2}y^{\prime\prime\prime}(x) + 3xy^{\prime\prime}(x) + (1 + 4{x}^{2} - {4\nu }^{2})y^{\prime}(x) + 4xy(x) = 0.}$$

    The above result was used to prove the celebrated Nicholson formula [1, p. 224]

    $$\displaystyle{J_{\nu }^{2}(x) + Y _{\nu }^{2}(x) ={ \frac{8} {\pi }^{2}}\int _{0}^{\infty }K_{ 0}(2x\sinh t)\cosh (2\nu t)dt,}$$

    which generalizes the trigonometric identity \({\sin }^{2}x {+\cos }^{2}x = 1\).
