Abstract: For and
we present a method which permits us to obtain inequalities of the type
, with the usual notation for the gamma function, where
and
are independent of k. Some examples are also given which improve well-known inequalities. Finally, we are also able to show in some cases that the values
and
in the inequalities that we obtain cannot be improved.
