The proof of these identities relies on transformations on generalized hypergeometric series obtained via Appell series of the first kind and Thomae’s relationships for ${}_3F_2(1).$ Using a self-decomposability argument, the identities are applied to derive complete monotonicity properties for quotients of confluent hypergeometric functions having a doubling character. By means of probability, we also obtain a simple proof of Turán’s inequality for the parabolic cylinder function and the confluent hypergeometric function of the second kind. The case of Mill’s ratio is discussed in detail.Lire moins >
