Monotonicity properties of the zeros of Bessel functions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 February 2009
Abstract
Let jν, denote the first positive zero of Jν. It is shown that jν/(ν + α) is a strictly decreasing function of ν for each positive α provided ν is sufficiently large. For each α lowe bounds on ν are given to assure the monotonicity of jν/(ν + α). From this it is shown that jν > ν + j0 for all ν > 0, which is both simpler and an improvement on the well known inequality Jν ≥ (ν (ν + 2))1/2.
