摘要

We prove the following convexity property of the function \(\begin{aligned} R(c,x;t)= \frac{\sin t}{(\cos t)^c} \frac{x^c - (\cos t)^c}{x-\cos t}. \end{aligned}\) R ( c , x ; t ) = sin t ( cos t ) c x c - ( cos t ) c x - cos t . Let \(c\in \mathbb {R}{\setminus } \{0\}\) c R \ { 0 } . The inequality \(\begin{aligned} \frac{\partial ^2}{\partial t^2} R(c,x;t)\ge 0 \end{aligned}\) 2 t 2 R ( c , x ; t ) 0 holds for all \(x\in (0,1]\) x ( 0 , 1 ] and \(t\in (0,\pi /2)\) t ( 0 , π / 2 ) if and only if \(c\in [-2,-1]\cup (0,\infty )\) c [ - 2 , - 1 ] ( 0 , ) . This result settles a conjecture of M. Revers (1998).
