Abstract

For p∈ℝ, the p-th power mean M p (a,b), arithmetic mean A(a,b), geometric mean G(a,b), and harmonic mean H(a,b) of two positive numbers a and b are defined by M p (a,b)=a p +b p w,p≠0,ab,p=0, A(a,b)=(a+b)/2, G(a,b)=ab, and H(a,b)=2ab/(a+b), respectively. In this paper, we answer the questions: For α∈(0,1), what are the greatest values p, r and m, and the least values q, s and n, such that the inequalities M p (a,b)≤A α (a,b)G 1-α (a,b)≤M q (a,b), M r (a,b)≤G α (a,b)H 1-α (a,b)≤M s (a,b) and M m (a,b)≤A α (a,b)H 1-α (a,b)≤M n (a,b) hold for all a,b>0?

In this paper, we provide different variants of the Hermite–Hadamard (H⋅H) inequality using the concept of a new class of convex mappings, which is referred to as up and down harmonically s-convex fuzzy-number-valued functions (UDH s-convex FNVM) in the second sense based on the up and down fuzzy inclusion relation. The findings are confirmed with certain numerical calculations that take a few appropriate examples into account. The results deal with various integrals of the 2ρσρ+σ type and are innovative in the setting of up and down harmonically s-convex fuzzy-number-valued functions. Moreover, we acquire classical and new exceptional cases that can be seen as applications of our main outcomes. In our opinion, this will make a significant contribution to encouraging more research.

In 2021, Ullah et al., introduced a new approach for the derivation of results for Jensen’s inequality. The purpose of this article, is to use the same technique and to derive improvements of Slater’s inequality. The planned improvements are demonstrated in both discrete as well as in integral versions. The quoted results allow us to provide relationships for the power means. Moreover, with the help of established results, we present some estimates for the Csiszár and Kullback–Leibler divergences, Shannon entropy, and Bhattacharyya coefficient.

It is well known that both concepts of symmetry and convexity are directly connected. Similarly, in fuzzy theory, both ideas behave alike. It is important to note that real and interval-valued mappings are exceptional cases of fuzzy number-valued mappings (FNVMs) because fuzzy theory depends upon the unit interval that make a significant contribution to overcoming the issues that arise in the theory of interval analysis and fuzzy number theory. In this paper, the new class of p-convexity over up and down (UD) fuzzy relation has been introduced which is known as UD-p-convex fuzzy number-valued mappings (UD-p-convex FNVMs). We offer a thorough analysis of Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities for FNVMs that are UD-p-convex using the fuzzy Aumann integral. Some previous results from the literature are expanded upon and broadly applied in our study. Additionally, we offer precise justifications for the key theorems that Kunt and İşcan first deduced in their article titled “Hermite–Hadamard–Fejer type inequalities for p-convex functions”. Some new and classical exceptional cases are also discussed. Finally, we illustrate our findings with well-defined examples.

The Jensen inequality is one of the most favorable inequalities during the last few decades due to its expressive characteristics and properties. This inequality has gained a very dominant position in the several fields of science as a result of its extensive applications. In the present note, we use an interesting approach for the determination of estimates for the Jensen difference. We acquire several estimates for the Jensen difference while utilizing the convex function definition, Jensen's inequality for concave functions, power mean, and Hölder inequalities. For the real visualizations of the acquired estimates, we provide some particular examples. We get different improvements for the Hölder inequality while taking specified functions in the received estimates. Moreover, we deduce some more results from the main work in the form of improvements for the Hermite‐Hadamard inequality. Furthermore, various relations for the famous quasi‐arithmetic and power means are acquired with the help of established estimates. At the end, we present various applications of the main work in information theory. The intended applications provide some new bounds for the Csiszár and Rényi divergences, Shannon entropy, and Bhattacharyya co‐efficient.

The Jensen inequality has been reported as one of the most consequential inequalities that has a lot of applications in diverse fields of science. For this reason, the Jensen inequality has become one of the most discussed developmental inequalities in the current literature on mathematical inequalities. The main intention of this article is to find some novel bounds for the Jensen difference while using some classes of twice differentiable convex functions. We obtain the proposed bounds by utilizing the power mean and Höilder inequalities, the notion of convexity and the prominent Jensen inequality for concave function. We deduce several inequalities for power and quasi-arithmetic means as a consequence of main results. Furthermore, we also establish different improvements for Hölder inequality with the help of obtained results. Moreover, we present some applications of the main results in information theory.

The main aim of the present paper is to present a novel approach base on the exponentially convex function to broaden the utilization of celebrated Hermite-Hadamard type inequality. The proposed technique presents an auxiliary result of constructing the set of base functions and gives deformation equations in a simple form. The auxiliary result in the convexity has provided a convenient way of establishing the convergence region of several novel results. The strategy is not limited to the small parameter, such as in the classical method. The numerical examples obtained by the proposed approach indicate that the approach is easy to implement and computationally very attractive. The implementation of this numerical scheme clearly exhibits its effectiveness, reliability, and easiness regarding the applications in error estimates for weighted mean, the integral formula, rth moments of a continuous random variable, application to weighted special means and in developing the variants by extraordinary choices of n and θ as well as its better approximation.

In this study, we first propose some new concepts of coordinated up and down convex mappings with fuzzy-number values. Then, Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities via coordinated up and down convex fuzzy-number-valued mapping (coordinated UD-convex FNVMs) are introduced. By taking the products of two coordinated UD-convex FNVMs, Pachpatte-type inequalities are also obtained. Some new conclusions are also derived by making particular decisions with the newly defined inequalities, and it is demonstrated that the recently discovered inequalities are expansions of comparable findings in the literature. It is important to note that the main outcomes are validated using nontrivial examples.

In this paper, with the use of newly defined class up and down log–convex fuzzy-number valued mappings, we offer a few new and original mappings defined by applying some mild restrictions over the definition of up and down log–convex fuzzy-number valued mapping. With the use of these mappings, we are able to develop partners of Fejér-type inequalities for up and down log–convexity, which improve upon certain previously established findings. The discussion also includes these mappings’ characteristics. Moreover, some nontrivial examples are also provided to prove the validation of our main results.

This work mainly investigates a class of convex interval-valued functions via the Katugampola fractional integral operator. By considering the p-convexity of the interval-valued functions, we establish some integral inequalities of the Hermite-Hadamard type and Hermite-Hadamard-Fejér type as well as some product inequalities via the Katugampola fractional integral operator.
