Abstract

We present integral versions of some recently proved results which improve the Jensen-Steffensen and related inequalities for superquadratic functions. For superquadratic functions which are not convex we get inequalities analogous to the integral Jensen-Steffensen inequality for convex functions. Therefore, we get refinements of all the results which use only the convexity of these functions. One of the inequalities that we obtain for a superquadratic function φ is y ¯ φ x ¯ + 1 λ β - λ α α β φ f t - x ¯ d λ t , where x ¯ = 1 λ β - λ α α β f t d λ t and y ¯ = 1 λ β - λ α α β φ f t d λ t which under suitable conditions like those satisfied by functions of power equal or more than 2, is a refinement of the Jensen-Steffensen-Boas inequality. We also prove related results of Mercer’s type.

AB - We present integral versions of some recently proved results which improve the Jensen-Steffensen and related inequalities for superquadratic functions. For superquadratic functions which are not convex we get inequalities analogous to the integral Jensen-Steffensen inequality for convex functions. Therefore, we get refinements of all the results which use only the convexity of these functions. One of the inequalities that we obtain for a superquadratic function φ is \[ \bar{y} \geqslant \phi \left( {\bar{x}} \right) + \frac{1}{{\lambda \left( \beta \right) - \lambda \left( \alpha \right)}}\int _\alpha ^\beta {\phi \left( {\left| {f\left( t \right) - \bar{x}} \right|} \right)d\lambda \left( t \right)} \] , where \[ \bar{x} = \frac{1}{{\lambda \left( \beta \right) - \lambda \left( \alpha \right)}}\int _\alpha ^\beta {f\left( t \right)d\lambda \left( t \right)} \] and \[ \bar{y} = \frac{1}{{\lambda \left( \beta \right) - \lambda \left( \alpha \right)}}\int _\alpha ^\beta {\phi \left( {f\left( t \right)} \right)d\lambda \left( t \right)} \] which under suitable conditions like those satisfied by functions of power equal or more than 2, is a refinement of the Jensen-Steffensen-Boas inequality.
