Abstract: We consider the functions ${v_\alpha }(t) \equiv t{I_\alpha }(t)/{I_{\alpha + 1}}(t)$ where ${I_\alpha }$ are the modified Bessel functions of the first kind of order $\alpha \ge 0$. We prove that ${v_\alpha }$ is strictly monotone and strictly convex on R$^{+}$ . These results have application in finite elasticity$^{1}$.
