About some new integral inequalities of Wendroff type for discontinuous functions

In this article, we obtain some new nonlinear integral inequalities for discontinuous functions of two independent variables (Wendroff type) by including also inequalities with delay. We deduce new generalizations of earlier results given by R.P. Agarwal, R. Bellman, I. Bihari, B.K. Bondge, V. Lakshmikantham, S. Leela, B.G. Pachpatte for continuous and discrete functions. Furthermore, generalizations of some results for integro-sum inequalities are obtained as well.

Explicit bounds on some new nonlinear integral inequalities with delay

The purpose of the present note is to establish some new delay integral inequalities, which provide explicit bounds on unknown functions and generalize some results of Li et al. [Some new delay integral inequalities and their applications, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 180 (2005) 191–200]. The inequalities given here can be used to investigate the qualitative properties of certain delay differential equations and delay integral equations.     

On the identric and logarithmic means

Summary Leta, b > 0 be positive real numbers. The identric meanI(a, b) of a andb is defined byI = I(a, b) = (1/e)(b ^b /a ^a ) ^1/(b–a) , fora b, I(a, a) = a; while the logarithmic meanL(a, b) ofa andb isL = L(a, b) = (b – a)/(logb – loga), fora b, L(a, a) = a. Let us denote the arithmetic mean ofa andb byA = A(a, b) = (a + b)/2 and the geometric mean byG =G(a, b) = . In this paper we obtain some improvements of known results and new inequalities containing the identric and logarithmic means. The material is divided into six parts. Section 1 contains a review of the most important results which are known for the above means. In Section 2 we prove an inequality which leads to some improvements of known inequalities. Section 3 gives an application of monotonic functions having a logarithmically convex (or concave) inverse function. Section 4 works with the logarithm ofI(a, b), while Section 5 is based on the integral representation of means and related integral inequalities. Finally, Section 6 suggests a new mean and certain generalizations of the identric and logarithmic means.

On two inequalities similar to Opial's inequality in two independent variables

In the present paper we establish two new integral inequalities similar to Opial's inequality in two independent variables. The inequalities established in this paper are similar to the analogues of Calvert's generalizations of Opial's inequality, in two independent variables and contains in the special case the analogue of Opial's inequality given by G. S. Yang in two independent variables.     

Jensen inequalities for functions with higher monotonicities

Summary We investigate generalizations of the classical Jensen and Chebyshev inequalities. On one hand, we restrict the class of functions and on the other we enlarge the class of measures which are allowed. As an example, consider the inequality (J)(f(x) d) A (f(x) d, d d = 1. Iff is an arbitrary nonnegativeL _x function, this holds if 0, is convex andA = 1. Iff is monotone the measure need not be positive for (J) to hold for all convex withA = 1. If has higher monotonicity, e.g., is also convex, then we get a version of (J) withA < 1 and measures that need not be positive.

Summary In this paper we prove the following:IfA _n ,G _n andH _n (resp.A _n ,G _n andH _n ) denote the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means ofa ₁,, a _n (resp. 1 –a ₁,, 1 –a _n ) and ifa _i (0, 1/2],i = 1,,n, then(G _n /G _n ) ⁿ (A _n /A _n ) ^n-1 H _n /H _n , (^*) with equality holding forn = 1,2. Forn 3 equality holds if and only ifa ₁ = =a _n . The inequality (^*) sharpens the well-known inequality of Ky Fan:G _n /G _n A _n /A _n .
