Let jν, 1, jν,2, … denote the positive zeros of the Bessel function Jν(x), and similarly, let j'v,1, j'v,2, … denote the positive zeros of J'v(x), which are the positive critical points of Jv(x). It is well-known that when v is positive, both jν ,k. it and j'ν k are increasing functions of ν; see, e.g., [12, pp. 246 and 248]. Recently, Lorch and Szego [6] have attempted to show that the same is true for the positive zeros j″v,1, j″v,2, … of j″v(x), which are the positive inflection points of Jv(x).
