Inequalities for Zero-Balanced Gaussian hypergeometric function (1609.08743v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the monotonicity of certain combinations of the Gaussian hypergeometric functions $F(a-1,b;a+b;1-x^c)$ and $F(a-1-\delta,b+\delta;a+b;1-x^d)$ on $(0,1)$ for $\delta\in(a-1,0)$, and study the problem of comparing these two functions, thus get the largest value $\delta_1=\delta_1(a,c,d)$ such that the inequality $F(a-1,b;a+b;1-x^c)<F(a-1-\delta,b+\delta;a+b;1-x^d)$ holds for all $x\in (0,1)$.
