Gaunt" ], "comment": "18 pages", "categories": [ "math.CA" ], "abstract": "Simple inequalities are established for some integrals involving the modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind. In most cases, we show that we attain the best possible constant or that our bounds are tight in certain limits. We apply these inequalities to obtain uniform bounds for several expressions involving integrals of modified Bessel functions. Such expressions occur in Stein's method for variance-gamma approximation, and the results obtained in this paper allow for technical advances in the method. We also present some open problems that arise from this research.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-08-21T13:27:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33C10", "26D15" ], "keywords": [ "modified bessel functions", "open problems", "simple inequalities", "uniform bounds", "expressions occur" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
