Bounds for modified Bessel functions. (English) Zbl 0726.33003
Inequalities are found for the ratios $I\sb{\nu}(x)/I\sb{\nu}(y)$, $K\sb{\nu}(x)/K\sb{\nu}(y)$ and $tI\sb{\nu}(t)/I\sb{\nu +1}(t),$ where $I\sb{\nu}$ and $K\sb{\nu}$ are the modified Bessel functions of non- integer order. In each case the range of the variables is (0,$\infty)$.
