Monotonicity criterion for the quotient of power series with applications. (English) Zbl 1321.26019

Summary: In this paper, we present the necessary and sufficient condition for the monotonicity of the quotient of power series. As applications, some gaps and misquotations in certain published articles are pointed out and corrected, and some known results involving the Landen inequalities for zero-balanced hypergeometric functions are improved.
