Starlikeness and convexity of generalized Bessel functions

In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for the parameters of the normalized form of the generalized Bessel functions to be convex and starlike in the open unit disk. As an application of our main results, we solve a recent open problem concerning a subordination property of Bessel functions with different parameters. Moreover, we present a new inequality for the Euler gamma function, which we apply in order to have tight bounds for the generalized and normalized Bessel function of the first kind.
