The function (bx−ax)/x(b^x-a^x)/x: Ratio's properties

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

In the paper, after reviewing the history, background, origin, and applications of the functions bt−att\frac{b^{t}-a^{t}}{t} and e−αt−e−βt1−e−t\frac{e^{-αt}-e^{-βt}}{1-e^{-t}}, we establish sufficient and necessary conditions such that the special function eαt−eβteλt−eμt\frac{e^{αt}-e^{βt}}{e^{λt}-e^{μt}} are monotonic, logarithmic convex, logarithmic concave, 3-log-convex and 3-log-concave on R\mathbb{R}, where α,β,λα,β,λ and μμ are real numbers satisfying (α,β)≠(λ,μ)(α,β)\ne(λ,μ), (α,β)≠(μ,λ)(α,β)\ne(μ,λ), α≠βα\neβ and λ≠μλ\neμ.
