Abstract

We present a survey of the most important inequalities and monotonicity, concavity (convexity) results of the zeros of Bessel functions. The results refer to the definition Jνκ of the zeros of Cν (x) = Jν (x) cosα −Yν (x) sinα, formulated in [6], where κ is a continuous variable. Sometimes, also the Sturm comparison theorem is an important tool of our results.
