Abstract
Let be a -algebra and be a positive unital map. Then, for a convex function defined on some open interval and a self-adjoint element whose spectrum lies in , we obtain a Jensen's-type inequality where denotes an operator preorder (usual order, spectral preorder, majorization) and depends on the class of convex functions considered i.e., operator convex, monotone convex and arbitrary convex functions. Some extensions of Jensen's-type inequalities to the multi-variable case are considered.
