On boundedness of a certain class of Hardy-Steklov type operators in Lebesgue spaces.
We provide a set of optimal estimates of the form (1-μ)/𝓐(x,y) + μ/ℳ (x,y) ≤ 1/ℬ(x,y) ≤ (1-ν)/𝓐(x,y) + ν/ℳ (x,y) where 𝓐 < ℬ are two of the Seiffert means L,P,M,T, while ℳ is another mean greater than the two.
K. Nikodem and the present author proved in [3] a theorem concerning separation by affine functions. Our purpose is to generalize that result for polynomials. As a consequence we obtain two theorems on separation of an n-convex function from an n-concave function by a polynomial of degree at most n and a stability result of Hyers-Ulam type for polynomials.
