    Abstract

    Some sharp two-sided Turan type inequalities for parabolic cylinder functions and Tricomi confluent hypergeometric functions are deduced. The proofs are based on integral representations for quotients of parabolic cylinder functions and Tricomi confluent hypergeometric functions, which arise in the study of the infinite divisibility of the Fisher-Snedecor F distribution. Moreover, some complete monotonicity results are given concerning Turan determinants of Tricomi confluent hypergeometric functions. These complement and improve some of the results of Ismail and Laforgia (in Constr. Approx. 26:1-9, 2007).
