Let $j_{\nu k} $ denote the kth positive zero of the Bessel function $J_\nu (x)$ of the first kind. We define the function $j_{\nu \kappa } $ for all $\kappa > 0$ in such a way that $j_{\nu \kappa } $ is the kth positive zero of the cylinder function $C_\nu (x) = \cos \alpha J_\nu (x) - \sin \alpha Y_\nu (x)$ by some $\alpha $ and k, for $0 \leq \alpha 0,j_{\nu \kappa }^1 > 1} \}$ where the (prime) indicates the derivative with respect to $\nu $, then we find $0 < \kappa _0 < 1$ (for $\nu \geq 0$).Our main result is that the function $j_{\nu \kappa }^2 $ is a convex function of $\nu $ for $\nu \geq 0$ and $\kappa \geqslant \kappa _0 $. This result proves also the conjecture of J. T. Lewis and M. E. Muldoon [SIAM J. Math. Anal. 8 (1977), pp. 171–178], that $j_{\nu k}^2 $ is convex for $\nu \geqslant 0$ and $k = 1,2, \cdots $. Finally we give some applications of this result and we show that the validity of this convexity cannot be e...
