1 Introduction
The well-known Lazarević inequality [1, 2] states that
for all \(x>0\) if and only if \(p\geq3\).
Inequality (1.1) was generalized by Zhu [3] as follows.
Let \(p\in(-\infty, 8/15]\cup(1, \infty)\). Then the inequality
holds for \(x>0\) if and only if \(q\geq3(1-p)\).
For \(p>0\), Yang [4] proved that the inequality
holds for all \(x>0\) if and only if \(p\geq\sqrt{5}/5\), and inequality (1.2) is reversed if and only if \(p\leq1/3\).
Neuman and Sándor [5] proved that the Cusa type inequality
holds for all \(x>0\).
In [6], Zhu presented a more general result which contains Lazarević inequality (1.1) and Cusa type inequality (1.3) as follows.
Theorem A
The following statements are true:
-
(i)
If \(p\geq4/5\), then the double inequality
$$ 1-\lambda+\lambda\cosh^{p}(x)< \biggl(\frac{\sinh(x)}{x} \biggr)^{p}< 1-\eta +\eta\cosh^{p}(x) $$holds for all \(x>0\) if and only if \(\lambda\leq0\) and \(\eta\geq1/3\).
-
(ii)
If \(p<0\), then the inequality
$$ \biggl(\frac{\sinh(x)}{x} \biggr)^{p}< 1-\eta+\eta\cosh^{p}(x) $$holds for all \(x>0\) if and only if \(\eta\leq1/3\).
More inequalities for the hyperbolic sine and cosine functions can be found in the literature [7–19].
Let \(p, q\in\mathbb{R}\) and \(H_{p,q}(x)\) be defined on \((0, \infty)\) by
where the function \(U_{p}(t)\) is defined on \((1, \infty)\) by
The main purpose of this paper is to deal with the monotonicity of \(H_{p, q}(x)\) on \((0, \infty)\), generalize and improve the Lazarević and Cusa type inequalities, and present the new bounds for certain bivariate means.
2 Monotonicity
Lemma 2.1
Let \(p\in\mathbb{R}\) and \(U_{p}(t)\) be defined on \((1, \infty)\) by (1.5). Then the function \(p\mapsto U_{p}(t)\) is increasing on \(\mathbb{R}\) and \(U_{p}(t)>0\) for all \(t\in(1, \infty)\).
Proof
Let \(p\neq0\), then the monotonicity of the function \(p\mapsto U_{p}(t)\) follows easily from
It follows from the monotonicity of the function \(p\mapsto U_{p}(t)\) that
□
Lemma 2.2
Let \(f, g: [a, b]\mapsto\mathbb{R}\) be continuous on \([a,b]\) and differentiable on \((a,b)\), and \(g^{\prime}\neq0\) on \((a,b)\). If \(f^{\prime}/g^{\prime}\) is increasing (decreasing) on \((a,b)\), then the functions
are also increasing (decreasing) on \((a,b)\).
Lemma 2.3
(See [21])
Let \(\{a_{n}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}\) and \(\{b_{n}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}\) be two real sequences with \(b_{n}>0\) for \(n=0, 1, 2, \ldots \) , and the power series \(A(t)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_{n}t^{n}\) and \(B(t)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}b_{n}t^{n}\) have the radius of convergence \(r>0\). If the non-constant sequence \(\{a_{n}/b_{n}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}\) is increasing (decreasing), then the function \(A(t)/B(t)\) is also increasing (decreasing) on \((0, r)\).
Let \(\operatorname{Sh}_{p}(x)\) and \(\operatorname{Ch}_{p}(x)\) be defined on \((0, \infty)\) by
and
respectively, where the function \(U_{p}\) is defined by (1.5). Then from (1.4) and (1.5) we clearly see that the function \(H_{p,q}(x)\) can be rewritten as
Let \(pq\neq0\). Then it follows from (1.5), (2.1), and (2.2) that
where
with
where \(C(x)>0\) due to
by the Wilker type inequality given in [15].
It is not difficult to verify that (2.4)-(2.6) are also true for \(pq=0\).
Let
Then making use of (2.7)-(2.9) together with the power series formulas \(\sinh(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}x^{2n+1}/(2n+1)!\) and \(\cosh(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}x^{2n}/(2n)!\) we have
In order to investigate the monotonicity of the function \(H_{p,q}\), we need Lemma 2.4.
Lemma 2.4
Let \(A(x)\), \(B(x)\), and \(C(x)\) be, respectively, defined by (2.7), (2.8), and (2.9), \(f_{3}\) be defined on \((0, \infty)\) by
and
Then the following statements are true:
-
(i)
\(f_{3}\) is increasing from \((0, \infty)\) onto \(((5p-15q)/8+1, \infty )\) if \((p, q)\in I_{1}\);
-
(ii)
\(f_{3}\) is decreasing from \((0, \infty)\) onto \((-\infty, (5p-15q)/8+1 )\) if \((p, q)\in I_{2}\).
Proof
Let \(a_{n}\), \(b_{n}\), and \(c_{n}\) be, respectively, defined by (2.10), (2.11), and (2.12). Then it follows from (2.13)-(2.16) that
where
We claim that
and
for \(n\geq3\).
Indeed, making use of the binomial expansion we have
for \(n\geq3\).
We divide the proof into two cases.
Case 1. \(q=0\). Then (2.19)-(2.21), (2.24), (2.25), and Lemma 2.3 lead to the conclusion that \(f_{3}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty )\) if \(p>0\) and decreasing on \((0, \infty)\) if \(p<0\). Therefore, we have \(5p/8+1<\lim_{x\rightarrow0^{+}}f_{3}(x)<f_{3}(x)<\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}f_{3}(x)=\infty\) for \(p>0\), \(f_{3}(x)=1\) for \(p=0\), and \(-\infty<\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}f_{3}(x)<f_{3}(x)<\lim_{x\rightarrow0^{+}}f_{3}(x)=5p/8+1\) for \(p<0\).
Case 2. \(q\neq0\). We first prove that \(u_{n}/v_{n}\) is decreasing for \(n\geq3\). From (2.25) we know that it suffices to show that \(u_{n}v_{n+1}-u_{n+1}v_{n}>0\) for \(n\geq3\). It follows from (2.22) and (2.23) that
Note that
for \(n\geq3\).
Therefore, \(u_{n}v_{n+1}-u_{n+1}v_{n}>0\) for \(n\geq3\) follows from (2.24), (2.26), and (2.27).
From (2.21), (2.24), (2.25), and the monotonicity of \(u_{n}/v_{n}\) we clearly see that
Therefore, the desired results follows easily from (2.19), (2.20), (2.28), and Lemma 2.3 together with the facts that
□
From Lemma 2.4, we get the monotonicity of \(H_{p,q}\) as follows.
Proposition 2.1
Let \(I_{1}\) and \(I_{2}\) be defined, respectively, by (2.17) and (2.18), and \(H_{p,q}(x)\) be defined on \((0, \infty)\) by (2.3). Then the following statements are true:
-
(i)
\(H_{p,q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) if \((p,q)\in I_{1}\cup (0, 0)\cap\{(5p-15q)/8+1\geq0\}\);
-
(ii)
\(H_{p,q}(x)\) is decreasing on \((0, \infty)\) if \((p,q)\in I_{2}\cap\{(5p-15q)/8+1\leq0\}\).
Proof
Let \(f_{2}(x)\) and \(f_{3}(x)\) be defined by (2.6) and (2.16), respectively.
(i) If \((p,q)\in I_{1}\cup(0, 0)\cap\{(5p-15q)/8+1\geq0\}\), then \(H_{p,q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) follows easily from (2.4)-(2.6), (2.9), (2.16), Lemma 2.2, and Lemma 2.4(i).
(ii) If \((p,q)\in I_{2}\cap\{(5p-15q)/8+1\leq0\}\), then \(H_{p,q}(x)\) is decreasing on \((0, \infty)\) follows easily from (2.4)-(2.6), (2.9), (2.16), Lemma 2.2, and Lemma 2.4(ii). □
It is easily to verify that \((p,q)\in I_{1}\cup(0, 0)\cap\{ (5p-15q)/8+1\geq0\}\) is equivalent to
or
and \((p,q)\in I_{2}\cap\{(5p-15q)/8+1\leq0\}\) is equivalent to
or
Therefore, Proposition 2.1 can be restated as Propositions 2.2 and 2.3.
Proposition 2.2
Let \(H_{p,q}(x)\) be defined on \((0, \infty)\) by (2.3). Then the following statements are true:
-
(i)
If \(q\in[34/35, \infty)\), then \(H_{p,q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) for \(p\geq3q-8/5\) and decreasing for \(p\leq q\).
-
(ii)
If \(q\in[4/5, 34/35)\), then \(H_{p,q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) for \(p\geq23q/17\) and decreasing for \(p\leq q\).
-
(iii)
If \(q\in(0, 4/5)\), then \(H_{p,q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) for \(p\geq23q/17\) and decreasing for \(p\leq3q-8/5\).
-
(iv)
If \(q\in(-\infty, 0]\), then \(H_{p,q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) for \(p\geq q\) and decreasing for \(p\leq3q-8/5\).
Proposition 2.3
Let \(H_{p,q}(x)\) be defined on \((0, \infty)\) by (2.3). Then the following statements are true:
-
(i)
If \(p\in[46/35, \infty)\), then \(H_{p,q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) for \(q\leq p/3+8/15\) and decreasing for \(q\geq p\).
-
(ii)
If \(p\in[4/5, 46/35)\), then \(H_{p,q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) for \(q\leq17p/23\) and decreasing for \(q\geq p\).
-
(iii)
If \(p\in(0, 4/5)\), then \(H_{p,q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) for \(q\leq17p/23\) and decreasing for \(q\geq p/3+8/15\).
-
(iv)
If \(p\in(-\infty, 0]\), then \(H_{p,q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) for \(q\leq p\) and decreasing for \(q\geq p/3+8/15\).
Let \(p=kq\), then Proposition 2.1 leads to the following corollary.
Corollary 2.1
Let \(H_{p,q}(x)\) be defined on \((0, \infty)\) by (2.3). Then the following statements are true:
-
(i)
If \(k\in(3, \infty)\), then \(H_{kq, q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) for \(q\geq0\) and decreasing for \(q\leq8/[5(3-k)]\).
-
(ii)
If \(k=3\), then \(H_{kq, q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) for all \(q\in\mathbb{R}\).
-
(iii)
If \(k\in[23/17, 3)\), then \(H_{kq, q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) for \(0\leq q \leq8/[5(3-k)]\).
-
(iv)
If \(k\in(1, 23/17)\), then \(H_{kq, q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) for \(q=0\).
-
(v)
If \(k\in(-\infty, 1]\), then \(H_{kq, q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) for \(q\leq0\) and decreasing for \(q \geq8/[5(3-k)]\).
Let \(I_{1}\) and \(I_{2}\) be defined by (2.17) and (2.18), respectively. If \((5p-15q)/8+1=0\), then we clearly see that
and Proposition 2.1 leads to the following corollary.
Corollary 2.2
Let \(H_{p,q}(x)\) be defined on \((0, \infty)\) by (2.3). Then \(H_{3q-8/5, q}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) if \(q\geq34/35\) and decreasing if \(q\leq4/5\). In other words, \(H_{p, (5p+8)/15}(x)\) is increasing on \((0, \infty)\) if \(p\geq46/35\) and decreasing if \(p\leq4/5\).
3 Main results
In this section, we present several Lazarević and Cusa type inequalities involving the hyperbolic sine and cosine functions with two parameters.
Let \(\operatorname{Sh}_{p}(x)\), \(\operatorname{Ch}_{p}(x)\), \(H_{p, q}(x)\), \(I_{1}\), and \(I_{2}\) be, respectively, defined by (2.1), (2.2), (2.3), (2.17), and (2.18). Then it is not difficult to verify that
From Proposition 2.1, we get Theorem 3.1 immediately.
Theorem 3.1
-
(i)
If \(0\leq q\leq\min\{17p/23, (5p+8)/15\}\) or \(q\leq\min\{0, p, (5p+8)/15\}\), then the inequalities
$$\begin{aligned}& \frac{ (\frac{\sinh(x)}{x} )^{p}-1}{p}>\frac{1}{3}\frac{\cosh ^{q}(x)-1}{q}\quad (pq \neq0), \end{aligned}$$(3.1)$$\begin{aligned}& \log \biggl(\frac{\sinh(x)}{x} \biggr)>\frac{1}{3}\frac{\cosh^{q}(x)-1}{q} \quad (p=0, q\neq0), \end{aligned}$$(3.2)$$\begin{aligned}& \frac{ (\frac{\sinh(x)}{x} )^{p}-1}{p}>\frac{1}{3}\log\bigl[\cosh (x)\bigr]\quad (p\neq0, q= 0), \end{aligned}$$(3.3)$$\begin{aligned}& \log \biggl(\frac{\sinh(x)}{x} \biggr)>\frac{1}{3}\log\bigl[\cosh(x)\bigr] \quad (p=q=0), \end{aligned}$$(3.4)hold for \(x\in(0, \infty)\) with the best possible constant \(1/3\).
-
(ii)
If \(\max\{17p/23, (5p+8)/15\}\leq q<0\) or \(q\geq\max\{0, p, (5p+8)/15\}\), then all the inequalities (3.1)-(3.3) are reversed.
For clarity of expression, in the following we directly write \(\operatorname{Sh}_{p}(x)\), \(\operatorname{Ch}_{p}(x)\), and \(H_{p,q}(x)\), and so on. For their general formulas, if \(pq=0\), then we regard them as limit at \(p=0\) or \(q=0\), unless otherwise specified.
Lemma 3.1 will be used to establish sharp inequalities for hyperbolic functions.
Lemma 3.1
Let \(\operatorname{Sh}_{p}\) and \(\operatorname{Ch}_{q}\) be, respectively, defined on \((0, \infty)\) by (2.1) and (2.2), and \(D_{p,q}\) be defined on \((0, \infty)\) by
Then we have
Proof
Let \(x\rightarrow0^{+}\), then making use of power series formulas and (3.5) we get
Therefore, (3.6) and (3.7) follows easily from (3.10).
We divide the proof of (3.8) into four cases.
Case 1. \(p>0\), \(q>0\). Then (3.5) leads to
Case 2. \(p=0\), \(q>0\). Then it follows from (3.5) that
Case 3. \(p=0\), \(q=0\). Then (3.5) leads to
Case 4. \(p>0\), \(q=0\). Then it follows from Lemma 2.1 and (3.5) that
for \(x\in(0, \infty)\).
Therefore,
follows from Case 3 and (3.11).
Equation (3.9) follows easily from (3.5) and the fact that
□
Making use of Proposition 2.2 and Lemma 3.1 we get Theorems 3.2 and 3.3.
Theorem 3.2
The following statements are true:
-
(i)
If \(q\in[34/35, \infty)\), then the double inequality
$$ \frac{ (\frac{\sinh(x)}{x} )^{p_{2}}-1}{p_{2}}< \frac{\cosh ^{q}(x)-1}{3q}< \frac{ (\frac{\sinh(x)}{x} )^{p_{1}}-1}{p_{1}} $$(3.12)holds for \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if and only if \(p_{1}\geq3q-8/5\) and \(p_{2}\leq q\).
-
(ii)
If \(q\in[4/5, 34/25)\), then the second inequality of (3.12) holds for \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if \(p_{1}\geq23q/17\), and the first inequality of (3.12) holds for \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if and only if \(p_{2}\leq q\).
-
(iii)
If \(q\in(0, 4/5)\), then the second inequality of (3.12) holds for \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if \(p_{1}\geq23q/17\), and the first inequality of (3.12) holds for \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if and only if \(p_{2}\leq3q-8/5\).
-
(iv)
If \(q\in(-\infty, 0]\), then the second inequality of (3.12) holds for \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if \(p_{1}\geq q\), and the first inequality of (3.12) holds for \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if and only and \(p_{2}\leq3q-8/5\).
Proof
All the sufficiencies in (i)-(iv) follow from Proposition 2.2 and \(H_{p, q}(0^{+})=1/3\). Next, we prove the necessities in (i)-(iv).
(i) If \(q\in[34/35, \infty)\) and the second inequality of (3.12) holds for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\), then (3.5) and (3.6) lead to the conclusion that \(p_{1}\geq3q-8/5\). If \(q\in[34/35, \infty)\) and the first inequality of (3.12) holds for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\), then we claim that \(p_{2}\leq q\), otherwise, \(p_{2}>q\in[34/35, \infty)\) and the first inequality (3.12) imply that \(D_{p_{2}, q}(x)<0\) for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\), which contradicts with (3.8).
(ii) If \(q\in[4/5, 34/25)\) and the first inequality of (3.12) holds for \(x\in(0, \infty)\), then the proof of \(p_{2}\leq q\) is similar to part two of (i).
(iii) If \(q\in(0, 4/5)\) and the first inequality of (3.12) holds for \(x\in(0, \infty)\), then the proof of \(p_{2}\leq3q-8/5\) is similar to part one of (i).
(iv) If \(q\in(-\infty, 0]\) and the first inequality of (3.12) holds for \(x\in(0, \infty)\), then (3.5) and (3.6) lead to the conclusion that \(p_{2}\leq3q-8/5\). □
Theorem 3.3
The following statements are true:
-
(i)
If \(p\in[46/35, \infty)\), then the double inequality
$$ \frac{\cosh^{q_{1}}(x)-1}{3q_{1}}< \frac{ (\frac{\sinh(x)}{x} )^{p}-1}{p} < \frac{\cosh^{q_{2}}(x)-1}{3q_{2}} $$(3.13)holds for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if and only if \(q_{1}\leq(5p+8)/15\) and \(q_{2}\geq p\).
-
(ii)
If \(p\in[4/5, 46/35)\), then the first inequality of (3.13) holds for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if \(q_{1}\leq17p/23\), and the second inequality of (3.13) holds for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if and only if \(q_{2}\geq p\).
-
(iii)
If \(p\in(0, 4/5)\), then the first inequality of (3.13) holds for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if \(q_{1}\leq17p/23\), and the second inequality of (3.13) holds for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if and only if \(q_{2}\geq(5p+8)/15\).
-
(iv)
If \(p\in(-\infty, 0]\), then the first inequality of (3.13) holds for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if \(q_{1}\leq p\), and the second inequality of (3.13) holds for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if and only if \(q_{2}\geq(5p+8)/15\).
Remark 3.1
Let \(q=1\). Then Theorem 3.2(i) leads to the conclusion that the inequality
holds for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if and only if \(p\leq8/15\), and inequality (3.14) is reversed if and only if \(p\geq2/3\).
Remark 3.2
Let \(t\in(1, \infty)\), and \(\Omega_{p, q}\) and \(M(t; p, q)\) be, respectively, defined by
and
Then we clearly see that \(H_{p,q}(x)<(>)\,H_{p,q}(0^{+})=1/3\) for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\) is equivalent to \(\sinh(x)/x> (<)\,M(\cosh(x); p, q)\). Moreover, it is not difficult to verify that \(M(t; p, q)\) is decreasing with respect to p and increasing with respect to q if \((p, q)\in \Omega_{p, q}\).
Remark 3.3
From Remark 3.2 we know that Theorems 3.2 and 3.3 are also true if \((p, q)\in\Omega_{p,q}\) and replacing (3.12) and (3.13), respectively, with
and
Let \(q=1\), then Theorem 3.2 leads to Corollary 3.1.
Corollary 3.1
The double inequality
holds for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if and only if \(p_{1}\geq7/5\) and \(0\leq p_{2}\leq1\).
Remark 3.4
Letting \(p_{1}=7/5, 3/2, 2, 3\) and making use of the monotonicity of \(M(\cosh(x); p, q)\) with respect to p, then Corollary 3.1 leads to the inequalities
for \(x\in(0, \infty)\), which is better than the inequalities given in (3.23) of [7].
Let \(p=0, 1\), then Theorem 3.3 leads to Corollary 3.2.
Corollary 3.2
Let \(x\in(0, \infty)\). Then the double inequality
holds if and only if \(q_{1}\leq0\) and \(q_{2}\geq8/5\), and the double inequality
holds if and only if \(q_{1}\leq17/23\) and \(q_{2}\geq1\).
Remark 3.5
Letting \(q_{1}=17/23, 2/3, 1/2, 1/3, 1/6, 0\) and making use of the monotonicity of \(M(\cosh(x); p, q)\) with respect to q, then inequality (3.17) leads to
for \(x\in(0, \infty)\).
Let \(p=kq\), then (3.15) and (3.16) become
Remark 3.6
It is not difficult to verify that \(M(t; kq, q)\) is decreasing (increasing) with respect to q if \(k>(<)\,3\), and \(M(t; kq, q)\) is decreasing (increasing) with respect to k if \(q>(<)\, 0\).
Theorem 3.4
Let \(x\in(0, \infty)\) and \(k\in[0, 3)\). Then the following statements are true:
-
(i)
If \(k\in[23/17, 3)\), then the inequality
$$ \frac{\sinh(x)}{x}> \biggl(1-\frac{k}{3}+\frac{k}{3} \cosh^{q}(x) \biggr)^{1/(kq)} $$(3.18)holds if and only if \(q\leq8/[5(3-k)]\).
-
(ii)
If \(k\in(0, 1]\), then the double inequality
$$ \biggl(1-\frac{k}{3}+\frac{k}{3} \cosh^{q_{1}}(x) \biggr)^{1/(kq_{1})}< \frac{\sinh(x)}{x} < \biggl(1- \frac{k}{3}+\frac{k}{3}\cosh^{q_{2}}(x) \biggr)^{1/(kq_{2})} $$(3.19)holds if and only if \(q_{1}\leq0\) and \(q_{2}\geq8/[5(3-k)]\).
Proof
(i) If \(k\in[23/17, 3)\), then it follows from Corollary 2.1(iii) that \(H_{kq, q}(x)>H_{kq, q}(0^{+})=1/3\) and (3.18) holds for \(0\leq q\leq8/[5(3-k)]\). For \(q<0\), we have \(M^{k}(\cosh(x); kq, q)< M^{k}(\cosh(x); 0, 0)\) due to \(M^{k}(\cosh(x); kq, q)\) is a weighted qth power mean of \(\cosh(x)\) and 1, so (3.18) still holds.
If (3.18) holds, then \(D_{kq, q}(x)>0\) and (3.6) leads to
and \(q\leq8/[5(3-k)]\).
(ii) If \(k\in(0, 1]\), then it follows from Corollary 2.1(v) that \(H_{kq_{1}, q_{1}}(x)>H_{kq_{1}, q_{1}}(0^{+})=1/3\), \(H_{kq_{2}, q_{2}}(x)< H_{kq_{2}, q_{2}}(0^{+})=1/3\), and (3.19) holds for \(q_{1}\leq0\) and \(q\geq8/[5(3-k)]\).
If the second inequality of (3.19) holds, then \(D_{kq_{2}, q_{2}}(x)<0\) and (3.6) leads to \(q_{2}\geq8/[5(3-k)]\).
Next, we prove that the condition \(q_{1}\leq0\) is necessary such that the first inequality of (3.19) holds for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\). Indeed, the first inequality of (3.19) leads to \(D_{kq_{1}, q_{1}}(x)<0\) for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\). If \(q_{1}>0\) and \(k\in(0, 1]\), then \(0< kq_{1}\leq q_{1}\) and (3.8) leads to
which implies that there exists large enough \(X>0\) such that \(D_{kq_{1}, q_{1}}(x)<0\) for \(x\in(X, \infty)\). □
Let \(k=1, 3/2, 2\), then Theorem 3.4 leads to Corollary 3.3.
Corollary 3.3
The inequalities
and
hold for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if and only if \(p_{1}\leq0\), \(p_{2}\geq4/5\), \(p\leq16/15\), and \(q\leq8/5\).
Let \(p=3q-8/5\), then (3.15) and (3.16) become
It is easy to prove that \(M(t; 3q-8/5, q)\) is decreasing with respect to q on the interval \([8/15, \infty)\) and
Theorem 3.5
Let \(q>8/15\). Then the inequality
holds for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\) if and only if \(q\geq34/35\), and inequality (3.23) is reversed if and only if \(q\leq4/5\).
Proof
The sufficiency can be derived from Corollary 2.2. If inequality (3.23) holds, then \(D_{3q-8/5, q}(x)>0\) and (3.7) leads to the conclusion that \(q\geq34/35\).
Next, we prove that \(q\leq4/5\) if the reversed inequality (3.23) holds.
If there exists \(q>4/5\) such that the reversed inequality (3.23) holds, then \(D_{3q-8/5, q}(x)<0\), \(3q-8/5>q>4/5\), and (3.8) leads to
which contradicts with \(D_{3q-8/5, q}(x)<0\). □
Let \(q=34/35, 1, 16/15, 6/5, 8/5, 2, \infty\mbox{ and }4/5, 7/10, 2/3, 3/5, 8/15^{+}\). Then Theorem 3.5 leads to Corollary 3.4.
Corollary 3.4
The inequalities
hold for all \(x\in(0, \infty)\).
4 Applications
Let \(a, b>0\). Then the geometric mean \(G(a,b)\), arithmetic mean \(A(a,b)\), quadratic mean \(Q(a,b)\), logarithmic mean \(L(a,b)\), Neuman-Sándor mean \(M(a,b)\) [22] and second Yang mean \(V(a,b)\) [23] are defined by
and
respectively.
The Schwab-Borchardt mean \(\operatorname{SB}(a,b)\) [22, 24, 25] of \(a\geq0\) and \(b>0\) is given by
where \(\cosh^{-1}(x)=\log(x+\sqrt{x^{2}-1})\) is the inverse hyperbolic cosine function.
Let \(p, q\in\mathbb{R}\) and the function \(t\rightarrow \operatorname{Sh}(p, q, t)\) be defined on \((0, \infty)\) by
Recently, Yang [23] proved that \(\operatorname{Sh}_{p, q}(b, a)\), defined by
is a mean of a and b for all \(b\geq a>0\) if \((p ,q)\in\{(p,q): p>0, q>0, p+q\leq3, L(p, q)\leq1/\log2\} \cup\{(p,q): p<0, 0\leq p+q\leq3\}\cup\{(p,q): q<0, 0\leq p+q\leq3\}\).
In particular, \(\operatorname{Sh}_{1, 0}(b,a)=a\sinh[\cosh^{-1}(b/a)]/\cosh ^{-1}(b/a)=\operatorname{SB}(b,a)\) for all \(b\geq a>0\). Let \(t=\cosh^{-1}(b/a)\), then Theorems 3.2-3.5 lead to Theorems 4.1-4.4.
Theorem 4.1
Let \(b\geq a>0\) and \((p,q)\in\{(p,q): p\geq0\}\cup\{(p,q): 3q\leq p<0\}\). Then the following statements are true:
-
(i)
If \(q\in[34/35, \infty)\), then the double inequality
$$\begin{aligned}& \biggl[ \biggl(1-\frac{p_{1}}{3q} \biggr)a^{q}+ \frac{p_{1}}{3q}b^{q} \biggr]^{1/p_{1}}a^{1-q/p_{1}} \\& \quad < \operatorname{SB}(b,a) < \biggl[ \biggl(1-\frac{p_{2}}{3q} \biggr)a^{q}+ \frac{p_{2}}{3q}b^{q} \biggr]^{1/p_{2}}a^{1-q/p_{2}} \end{aligned}$$(4.1)holds if and only if \(p_{1}\geq3q-8/5\) and \(p_{2}\leq q\).
-
(ii)
If \(q\in[4/5, 34/35)\), then the first inequality of (4.1) holds for \(p_{1}\geq23q/17\), and the second inequality of (4.1) holds if and only if \(p_{2}\leq q\).
-
(iii)
If \(q\in(0, 4/5)\), then the first inequality of (4.1) holds for \(p_{1}\geq23q/17\), and the second inequality of (4.1) holds if and only if \(p_{2}\leq3q-8/5\).
-
(iv)
If \(q\in(-\infty, 0]\), then the first inequality of (4.1) holds for \(p_{1}\geq q\), and the second inequality of (4.1) holds if and only if \(p_{2}\leq3q-8/5\).
Theorem 4.2
Let \(b\geq a>0\) and \((p,q)\in\{(p,q): p\geq0\}\cup\{(p,q): 3q\leq p<0\}\). Then the following statements are true:
-
(i)
If \(p\in[46/35, \infty)\), then the double inequality
$$\begin{aligned}& \biggl[ \biggl(1-\frac{p}{3q_{1}} \biggr)a^{q_{1}}+ \frac {p}{3q_{1}}b^{q_{1}} \biggr]^{1/p}a^{1-q_{1}/p} \\& \quad < \operatorname{SB}(b,a) < \biggl[ \biggl(1-\frac{p}{3q_{2}} \biggr)a^{q_{2}}+ \frac {p}{3q_{2}}b^{q_{1}} \biggr]^{1/p}a^{1-q_{2}/p} \end{aligned}$$(4.2)holds if and only if \(q_{1}\leq(5p+8)/15\) and \(q_{2}\geq p\).
-
(ii)
If \(p\in[4/5, 46/35)\), then the first inequality of (4.2) holds for \(q_{1}\leq17p/23\), and the second inequality of (4.2) holds if and only if \(q_{2}\geq p\).
-
(iii)
If \(p\in(0, 4/5)\), then the first inequality of (4.2) holds for \(q_{1}\leq17p/23\), and the second inequality of (4.2) holds if and only if \(q_{2}\geq(5p+8)/15\).
-
(iv)
If \(p\in(-\infty, 0]\), then the first inequality of (4.2) holds for \(q_{1}\leq p\), and the second inequality of (4.2) holds if and only if \(q_{2}\geq(5p+8)/15\).
Theorem 4.3
Let \(b\geq a>0\) and \(k\in[0, 3)\). Then the following statements are true:
-
(i)
If \(k\in[23/17, 3)\), then the inequality
$$ \operatorname{SB}(b,a)> \biggl[ \biggl(1-\frac{k}{3} \biggr)a^{q}+\frac{k}{3}b^{q} \biggr]^{1/(kq)}a^{1-1/k} $$holds if and only if \(q\leq8/[5(3-k)]\).
-
(ii)
If \(k\in[0, 1]\), then the double inequality
$$\begin{aligned}& \biggl[ \biggl(1-\frac{k}{3} \biggr)a^{q_{1}}+ \frac{k}{3}b^{q_{1}} \biggr]^{1/(kq_{1})}a^{1-1/k} \\& \quad < \operatorname{SB}(b,a) < \biggl[ \biggl(1-\frac{k}{3} \biggr)a^{q_{2}}+ \frac{k}{3}b^{q_{2}} \biggr]^{1/(kq_{2})}a^{1-1/k} \end{aligned}$$holds if and only if \(q_{1}\leq0\) and \(q_{2}\geq8/[5(3-k)]\).
Theorem 4.4
Let \(b\geq a>0\) and \(p, q>8/15\). Then the double inequality
holds if and only if \(p\geq34/35\) and \(q\leq4/5\).
Remark 4.1
Let \(a, b>0\) with \(a\neq b\). Then we clearly see that
and Theorems 4.1-4.4 still hold true if we replace \((b, a, \operatorname{SB}(a,b))\) with \((A(a,b), G(a,b), L(a,b))\), \((Q(a,b), A(a,b), M(a,b))\) and \((Q(a,b), G(a,b), V(a,b))\).
