A note on monotonicity property of Bessel functions by Stamatis Koumandos

“…A theorem of Lorch, Muldoon and Szegö states that the sequence {∫jα,kjα,k+1t−α|Jα(t)|dt}k=1∞ is decreasing for α>−1/2, where Jα(t) the Bessel function of the first kind order α and jα,k its kth positive root. This monotonicity property implies Szegö's inequality ∫0xt−αJα(t)dt≥0, when α≥α′ and α′ is the unique solution of ∫0jα,2t−αJα(t)dt=0.…”
