Opial-type inequalities for differential operators

Some continuous and discrete versions of Opial-type inequalities which are readily applicable to differential and difference operators are established. These generalize earlier results of Anastassiou and Pe?ari?, and of Koliha and Pe?ari?.     

Two-sided inequalities for the Struve and Lommel functions

Abstract

Mathematical inequalities and other results involving such widely- and extensively-studied special functions of mathematical physics and applied mathematics as (for example) the Bessel, Struve and Lommel functions as well as the associated hypergeometric functions are potentially useful in many seemingly diverse areas of applications, especially in situations in which these functions are involved in solutions of mathematical, physical and engineering problems which can be modeled by ordinary and partial di?erential equations. With this objective in view, our present investigation is motivated by some open problems involving inequalities for a number of particular forms of the hypergeometric function ₁F₂(a; b, c; z). Here, in this paper, we apply a novel approach to such problems and obtain presumably new two-sided inequalities for the Struve function, the associated Struve function and the modified Struve function by first investigating inequalities for the general hypergeometric function ₁F₂(a; b, c; z). We also briefly discuss the analogous new inequalities for the Lommel function under some conditions and constraints. Finally, as special cases of our main results, we deduce several inequalities for the modified Lommel function and the normalized Lommel function.     

About new analogies of Gronwall–Bellman–Bihari type inequalities for discontinuous functions and estimated solutions for impulsive differential systems

In this article we present new integral Gronwall–Bellman–Bihari type inequalities for discontinuous functions (integro-sum inequalities). As applications, we investigate estimated solutions for impulsive differential systems, conditions of boundedness, stability, practical stability.     

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.

A remark on a class of double inequalities of Batir

Some new nonlinear difference inequalities and their applications

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.     

A note on certain integral inequalities with delay

In this paper we establish some new integral inequalities with delay, which can be used as tools in the theory of some new classes of differential and integral equations. An application to obtain a bound on the solution of a certain integral equation is also given.     

Estimates on solutions of some new nonlinear retarded Volterra–Fredholm type integral inequalities

Higher correlation inequalities

We prove a correlation inequality for n increasing functions on a distributive lattice, which for n = 2 reduces to a special case of the FKG inequality. The key new idea is to reformulate the inequalities for all n into a single positivity statement in the ring of formal power series. We also conjecture that our results hold in greater generality.     

On some new nonlinear discrete inequalities and their applications

On integral inequalities of the Sobolev type

Summary In this paper some new integral inequalities of the Sobolev type involving many functions of many variables are established. These in turn can be used to serve as generators of other integral inequalities.     

Weighted Hardy inequalities for decreasing sequences and functions

We obtain a complete characterization of the weights for which Hardy's inequality holds on the cone of non-increasing sequences. Our proofs translate immediately to the analogous inequality for non-increasing functions, thereby also completing the investigation in that direction. As an application of our results we characterize the boundedness of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator on Lorentz sequence spaces.     

Some new integral inequalities of Bellman–Bihari type with delay for discontinuous functions

In this article we investigate some integral functional inequalities of Bellman–Bihari type for piecewise-continuous functions with some fixed points of discontinuity. We also prove a new analogy and generalization of results which were obtained by Bellman and Bihari to integro-sum inequalities with delay and discontinuities that do not belong to Lipschitz’s type.
