In this paper we show how the superquadratic functions can be used as a tool for researching other types of convex functions like $\phi $-convexity, strong-convexity and uniform convexity. We show how to use inequalities satisfied by…

There exist two major subclasses in the class of superquadratic functions, one comprises concave and decreasing functions, while the other consists of convex and monotone increasing functions. Leveraging this distinction, we introduce…

We study the convolution function $$ C[f(x)] := \int_1^x f(y)f({x\over y}) {{\rm d} y\over y} $$ when $f(x)$ is a suitable number-theoretic error term. Asymptotics and upper bounds for $C[f(x)]$ are derived from mean square bounds for…

Given a multiplicative function f satisfying |f(n)| <= 1 for all n, the authors study the problem of obtaining explicit upper bounds on the mean-value 1/x |sum_{n <= x} f(n)|.

This paper deals with more refinements of inequalities related to deviations from Mean Value involving superquadratic and uniformly convex functions.

We investigate additive properties of sets $A,$ where $A=\{a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_k\}$ is a monotone increasing set of real numbers, and the differences of consecutive elements are all distinct. It is known that $|A+B|\geq c|A||B|^{1/2}$ for any…

For a general family of non-negative functions matching upper and lower bounds are established for their average over the values of any equidistributed sequence.

The well-known Bennett-Hoeffding bound for sums of independent random variables is refined, by taking into account truncated third moments, and at that also improved by using, instead of the class of all increasing exponential functions,…

In this paper we prove new upper bounds for the sum $\sum_{n=a+1}^{a+N}f(n)$, for a certain class of arithmetic functions $f$. Our results improve the previous results of G. Bachman and L. Rachakonda.

We begin by shortly recalling a generalized mean value inequality for subharmonic functions, and two applications of it: first a weighted boundary behavior result (with some new references and remarks), and then a borderline case result to…

We show that there are functions $f$ in the H\"older class $C^{ { \alpha }}[0,1]$, $1< { \alpha }<2$ such that $f|_{A}$ is not convex, nor concave for any $A { \subset } [0,1]$ with $ { \bar { dim }_M } A> { \alpha }-1$. Our earlier result…

We mainly establish a monotonicity property between some special Riemann sums of a convex function $f$ on $[a,b]$, which in particular yields that $\frac{b-a}{n+1}\sum_{i=0}^n f\left(a+i\frac{b-a}{n}\right)$ is decreasing while…

A convex function $f:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfies the so-called Hermite-Hadamard inequality $$ f\left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)\leq \frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^{b}f(t)dt\leq \frac{f(a)+f(b)}{2}. $$ Motivated by the above estimates, in this paper we…

We obtain the solution of the fourth order difference equation $$ x_{n+1}=\frac{ \alpha x_{n-3}}{A+B x_{n-1}x_{n-3}}$$ with the initial conditions; $x_{-3}=d,$ $x_{-2}=c,$ $x_{-1}=b,$ and $x_{0}=a$ are arbitrary nonzero real numbers,…

Given a suitable arithmetic function h, we investigate the average order of h as it ranges over the values taken by an integral binary form F. A general upper bound is obtained for this quantity, in which the dependence upon the…

In this paper we shall consider some famous means such as arithmetic, harmonic, geometric, root square mean, etc. Considering the difference of these means, we can establish. some inequalities among them. Interestingly, the difference of…

We prove that for a large class of multiplicative functions, referred to as generalized divisor functions, it is possible to find a lower bound for the corresponding variance in arithmetic progressions. As a main corollary, we deduce such a…

We prove Harnack inequalities for hypersurfaces flowing on the unit sphere by $p$-powers of a strictly monotone, 1-homogeneous, convex, curvature function $f$, $0<p\leq 1.$ If $f$ is the mean curvature, we obtain stronger Harnack…

A refinement of the Hardy inequality has been presented by use of superquadratic function.

A higher order difference equation may be generally defined in an arbitrary nonempty set S as: \[ f_{n}(x_{n},x_{n-1},...,x_{n-k})=g_{n}(x_{n},x_{n-1},...,x_{n-k}) \] where $f_{n},g_{n} :S^{k+1}\rightarrow S$ are given functions for…
