Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Why do we study inequalities? The answer to this question was given by Bellman in a very concrete and elegant fashion: "There are three reasons for the study of inequalities: practical, theoretical and aesthetic. In many practical investigations, it is necessary to bound one quantity by another. The classical inequalities are very useful for this purpose. From the theoretical point of view, very simple questions give rise to entire theories. For example, we may ask when the nonnegativity of one quantity implies that to another. This simple question leads to the theory of positive operators and theory of differential inequalities. Another question which gives rise to much interesting research is that of finding equalities associated with inequalities. We use the principle that every inequality should come from an equality which makes the inequality obvious. Along these lines, we may also look for representation which make inequalities obvious. Often, these representations are maxima or minima of certain quantities. Finally, let us turn to aesthetic aspects. As has been pointed out, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. However, it is generally agreed that certain pieces of music, art or mathematics are beautiful. There is an elegance to inequalities that makes them very attractive."
In this Special Issue, we present new results related to some classical inequalities such as the Jensen inequality, Jensen–Steffensen inequality, Jessen inequality, Grüss inequality, Chebyshev inequality, etc. They have various applications in other branches of mathematics, such as numerical analysis, probability and statistics, as well as in other sciences such as information theory.

In this paper, two not-difficult inequalities are invented and proved in detail, which adequately describe the behavior of discrete logical functions xor(x1, x2,…, xn) and and(x1, x2,…, xn). Based on these proven inequalities, infinitely differentiable extensions of the logical functions xor(x1, x2,…, xn) and and(x1, x2,…, xn) were defined for the entire ℝn. These suitable extensions were applied to systems of logical equations. Specifically, the system of m logical equations in a constructive way without adding any equations (not field equations and no others) is transformed in ℝn first into an equivalent system of m smooth rational equations (SmSRE) so that the solution of SmSRE can be reduced to the problem minimization of the objective function, and any numerical optimization methods can be applied since the objective function will be infinitely differentiable. Again, we transformed SmSRE into an equivalent system of m polynomial equations (SmPE). This means that any symbolic methods for solving polynomial systems can be used to solve and analyze an equivalent SmPE. The equivalence of these systems has been proved in detail. Based on these proofs and results, in the next paper, we plan to study the practical applicability of numerical optimization methods for SmSRE and symbolic methods for SmPE. Full article

As convexity plays an important role in many aspects of mathematical programming, e.g., for obtaining sufficient optimality conditions and in duality theorems, and one of the most important inequalities for convex functions is the Hermite–Hadamard inequality, the importance of this paper lies in providing some new improvements for convex functions and new directions in studying new variants of the Hermite–Hadamard inequality. The first part of the article includes some known concepts regarding convex functions and related inequalities. In the second part of the study, a derivation of the Hermite–Hadamard inequality for convex functions of higher order is given, emphasizing the purpose and importance of some quadrature formulas. In the third section, the applications of the main results are presented by obtaining Hermite–Hadamard-type estimates for various classical quadrature formulas such as the Gauss–Legendre two-point quadrature formula and the Gauss–Chebyshev two-point quadrature formulas of the first and second kind.

Motivated by some recent investigations about the sharpness of the Jensen inequality, this paper deals with the sharpness of the converse of the Jensen inequality. These results are then used for deriving new inequalities for different types of generalized f-divergences. As divergences measure the differences between probability distributions, these new inequalities are then applied on the Zipf–Mandelbrot law as a special kind of a probability distribution.

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.
