A Functional Inequality for the Survival Function of the Gamma Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note we give a completely different proof to a functional inequality established by Ismail and Laforgia for the survival function of the gamma distribution and we show that the inequality in the question is in fact the so-called new-is-better-than-used property, which arises in economic theory. Moreover, we extend this result to arbitrary reliability functions and we present a new simple proof for the Esseen-Mitrinović inequality.

A more accurate half-discrete Hardy-Hilbert-type inequality with the best possible constant factor related to the extended Riemann-Zeta function
By the method of weight coefficients, techniques of real analysis and Hermite-Hadamard's inequality, a half-discrete Hardy-Hilbert-type inequality related to the kernel of the hyperbolic cosecant function with the best possible constant factor expressed in terms of the extended Riemann-zeta function is proved. The more accurate equivalent forms, the operator expressions with the norm, the rever...
متن کاملSome functional inequalities in variable exponent spaces with a more generalization of uniform continuity condition
Some functional inequalities in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces are presented. The bi-weighted modular inequality with variable exponent $p(.)$ for the Hardy operator restricted to non- increasing function which is$$int_0^infty (frac{1}{x}int_0^x f(t)dt)^{p(x)}v(x)dxleqCint_0^infty f(x)^{p(x)}u(x)dx,$$ is studied. We show that the exponent $p(.)$ for which these modular ine...

Order statistics arising from exponentiated gamma (EG) distribution are considered. Closed from expressions for the single and double moments of order statistics are derived. Measures of skewness and kurtosis of the probability density function of the rth order statistic for different choices of r, n and /theta are presented. Recurrence relations between single and double moments of r...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Shift Point in Shape Parameter of Inverse Gaussian Distribution Under Different Loss Functions
In this paper, a Bayesian approach is proposed for shift point detection in an inverse Gaussian distribution. In this study, the mean parameter of inverse Gaussian distribution is assumed to be constant and shift points in shape parameter is considered. First the posterior distribution of shape parameter is obtained. Then the Bayes estimators are derived under a class of priors and using variou...
متن کاملA NORM INEQUALITY FOR CHEBYSHEV CENTRES
In this paper, we study the Chebyshev centres of bounded subsets of normed spaces and obtain a norm inequality for relative centres. In particular, we prove that if T is a remotal subset of an inner product space H, and F is a star-shaped set at a relative Chebyshev centre c of T with respect to F, then llx - qT (x)1I2 2 Ilx-cll2 + Ilc-qT (c) 112 x E F, where qT : F + T is any choice functi...
