    In the paper, by establishing the monotonicity of some functions involving the sine and cosine functions, the authors provide concise proofs of some known inequalities and find some new sharp inequalities involving the Seiffert, contra-harmonic, centroidal, arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, and root-square means of two positive real numbers aa and bb with aba\ne b.Comment: 10 page

    Geometric convexity of the generalized sine and the generalized hyperbolic sine

    Full text link
    In the paper, the authors prove that the generalized sine function sinp,q(x)\sin_{p,q}(x) and the generalized hyperbolic sine function sinhp,q(x)\sinh_{p,q}(x) are geometrically concave and geometrically convex, respectively. Consequently, the authors verify a conjecture posed in the paper "B. A. Bhayo and M. Vuorinen, On generalized trigonometric functions with two parameters, J. Approx. Theory 164 (2012), no.~10, 1415\nobreakdash--1426; Available online at \url{http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jat.2012.06.003}".Comment: 5 page

    The authors find the greatest value λ and the least value μ, such that the double inequality C¯(λa+(1-λb),λb+(1-λ)a)0 with a≠b, where C¯(a,b)=2(a2+ab+b2)/3(a+b), A(a,b)=(a+b)/2, and Ta,b=2/π∫0π/2a2cos2θ+b2sin2θdθ denote, respectively, the centroidal, arithmetic, and Toader means of the two positive numbers a and b
