Abstract

We establish an integral representation for Popoviciu's convex functions of dd variables. This representation serves as a~foundation for deriving several functional inequalities, analogous to those well-known for usual convex functions. Our results generalize and extend the results obtained by S.~Gal, C.~Niculescu, B.~Gavrea, T.~Popoviciu, and others, who considered only differentiable functions of two variables. In contrast to other authors, we do not impose any additional regularity assumptions on the studied functions.
