In this paper, we establish some inequalities related to Oppenheim's problem for the real and imaginary parts of Dunkl kernels
In order to prove our main results, we present some new inequalities involving Bessel functions of the first kind. Refinements of inequalities for Bessel functions are also given.
We consider the Oppenheim's problem: What are the best possible constants
such that
![]() |
hold for all 
In 1958, a partial solution is given in 1, 2: If
and
, then
![]() |
Next, L. Zhu solved completely this problem for trigonometric functions, see 3. Since the cosine and sine functions are particular cases of Bessel functions, then it is natural to generalize some formulas and inequalities involving these elementary functions to Bessel functions. The extension of the Oppenheim's problem to Bessel and modified Bessel functions was first considered by Á. Baricz in 4. Recently, we established in 5 some inequalities related to this type of problem for Dunkl kernels
by answering to the following question: What are, for
the best possible constants
such that
![]() |
hold for all
![]() |
Some new inequalities involving modified Bessel functions have also been improved.
Our aim is to solve the analogues of the Oppenheim's problem for the real and imaginary parts of Dunkl kernels
In the beginning, we present some new inequalities related to this problem for trigonometric functions. These inequalities and Sonine integral formula for Bessel functions allow us to get a new version of the solution of this type of problem for Bessel functions
Next, by using again Sonine integral formula for Bessel functions, we solve the Oppenheim's problem for the imaginary parts of Dunkl kernels
At the end of this paper, we give refinements of inequalities for Bessel functions
