##### Examples
 Geometry Search for the term Geometry in any field. Queries are case-independent. Funct* Wildcard queries are specified by * (e.g. functions, functorial, etc.). Otherwise the search is exact. "Topological group" Phrases (multi-words) should be set in "straight quotation marks". au: Bourbaki & ti: Algebra Search for author and title. The and-operator & is default and can be omitted. Chebyshev | Tschebyscheff The or-operator | allows to search for Chebyshev or Tschebyscheff. "Quasi* map*" py: 1989 The resulting documents have publication year 1989. so: Eur* J* Mat* Soc* cc: 14 Search for publications in a particular source with a Mathematics Subject Classification code (cc) in 14. "Partial diff* eq*" ! elliptic The not-operator ! eliminates all results containing the word elliptic. dt: b & au: Hilbert The document type is set to books; alternatively: j for journal articles, a for book articles. py: 2000-2015 cc: (94A | 11T) Number ranges are accepted. Terms can be grouped within (parentheses). la: chinese Find documents in a given language. ISO 639-1 language codes can also be used.

Inequalities for ultraspherical polynomials and the gamma function. (English) Zbl 0532.33007
Der Verf. beweißt mit elementaren Mitteln für die Gegenbauerschen Polynome $P\sb n\sp{(\lambda)}$ die Abschätzung $$(\sin \theta)\sp{\lambda}\vert P\sb n\sp{(\lambda)}(\cos \theta)\vert<2\sp{1- \lambda}/\Gamma(\lambda)(n+\lambda)\sp{1-\lambda},$$ $$0\le \theta \le \pi,\quad 0<\lambda<1,\quad n\in N.$$ Diese Abschätzung ist besser als {\it G. Szegö’s} Ungleichung [Orthogonal polynomials (1959; Zbl 0089.275)], wo $n\sp{1-\lambda}$ statt $(n+\lambda)\sp{1-\lambda}$ steht. Einige Abschätzungen für $\Gamma(n+\lambda)/\Gamma(n+1)$ werden betrachtet.
