Abstract

This paper reveals a new relation between the two functions \( A_{p}\left( x\right) =\)\(\left( \int _{0}^{x}e^{-t^{p}}dt\right) /x\) and \(B_{q}\left( x\right) =\)\(1-\left( 1-e^{-qx^{p}}\right) /\left( q\left( p+1\right) \right) \) . At the same time, we study the upper and lower bounds for the function \(A_{p}\left( x\right) /B_{\alpha }\left( x\right) \) in another sense.
