Abstract

We present a rational extension of the Newton diagram for the positivity of \({}_1F_2\) generalized hypergeometric functions. As an application, we give upper and lower bounds for the transcendental roots \(\beta (\alpha )\) of

$$\begin{aligned} \int _0^{j_{\alpha , 2}} t^{-\beta } J_\alpha (t) \hbox {d}t = 0\qquad (-\,1<\alpha \le 1/2), \end{aligned}$$

where \(j_{\alpha , 2}\) denotes the second positive zero of Bessel function \(J_\alpha \).
