Certain Inequalities Involving the qq-Deformed Gamma Function

This paper is inspired by the work of J. S\'{a}ndor in 2006. In the paper, the authors establish some double inequalities involving the ratio $\frac{\Gamma_{q}(x+1)}{ \Gamma_{q} \left( x+\frac{1}{2}\right)}$, where $\Gamma_{q}(x)$ is the $q$-deformation of the classical Gamma function denoted by $\Gamma(x)$. The method employed in presenting the results makes use of Jackson's $q$-integral representation of the $q$-deformed Gamma function. In addition, H\"{o}lder's inequality for the $q$-integral, as well as some basic analytical techniques involving the $q$-analogue of the psi function are used. As a consequence, $q$-analogues of the classical Wendel's asymptotic relation are obtained. At the end, sharpness of the inequalities established in this paper is investigated.Comment: Cite this article as: "K. Nantomah and E.

On the Regularization-Homotopy Analysis Method for Linear and Nonlinear Fredholm Integral Equations of the First Kind

Fredholm integral equations of the first kind are considered by applying regularization method and the homotopy analysis method. This kind of integral equations are considered as an ill-posed problem and for this reason needs an effective method in solving them. This method first transforms a given Fredholm integral equation of the first kind to the second kind by the regularization method and then solves the transformed equation using homotopy analysis method. Approximation of the solution will be of much concern since it is not always the case to get the solution to converge and the existence of the solution is not always guaranteed as this kind of Fredholm integral equation is not well-posed
