Mercer inequality for convex functions is a variant of Jensen's inequality, with an operator version that is still valid without operator convexity. This paper is two folded. First, we present a Mercer-type inequality for operators without…

In this paper, the bivariate log-convexity of the two-parameter homogeneous function in parameter pair is vestigated. From this the bivariate log-convexity of the more extended means with respect to a parameter pair is solved. It follows…
We establish a new refinement of the right-hand side of the Hermite-Hadamard inequality for simplices, based on the average values of a convex function over the faces of a simplex and over the values at their barycenters.
The ordering between Wigner--Yanase--Dyson function and logarithmic mean is known. Also bounds for logarithmic mean are known. In this paper, we give two reverse inequalities for Wigner--Yanase--Dyson function and logarithmic mean. We also…

In this paper we prove the concavity of the $k$-trace functions, $A\mapsto (\text{Tr}_k[\exp(H+\ln A)])^{1/k}$, on the convex cone of all positive definite matrices. $\text{Tr}_k[A]$ denotes the $k_{\mathrm{th}}$ elementary symmetric…
In this paper, an integral identity for twice differentiable functions is generalized. Then, by using convexity of |f''| or q-th power of |f''| and with the aid of power mean and Holder's inequalities we achieved some new results. We also…
Geometrically convex functions constitute an interesting class of functions obtained by replacing the arithmetic mean with the geometric mean in the definition of convexity. As recently suggested, geometric convexity may be a sensible…
In 1922, Harald Bohr and Johannes Mollerup established a remarkable characterization of the Euler gamma function using its log-convexity property. A decade later, Emil Artin investigated this result and used it to derive the basic…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of operator arithmetic-geometrically convex functions for positive linear operators and prove some Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for these functions. As applications, we obtain trace inequalities…

We continue the analysis in [3] of matrix convex functions of a fixed order defined in a real interval by differential methods as opposed to the characterization in terms of divided differences given by Kraus [5]. We amend and improve some…
