Let $u_p(x)$ be the generalized and normalized Bessel function depending on parameters $b,c,p$ and let $\lambda(r)=u_p(r^2),$ $r\in(0,1)$. Motivated by an open problem of Anderson, Vamanamurthy and Vuorinen, we prove that the Landen-type inequality $\lambda(2\sqrt{r}/(1+r))1$, for certain conditions on the parameters $b,c,p$.

Keywords: Landen inequality, hypergeometric functions, Bessel functions, Kummer functions.
