We give a general formulation of Jensen's operator inequality for unital fields of positive linear mappings, and we consider different types of converse inequalities.

In this paper the Jessen's type inequality for normalized positive $C_0$-semigroups is obtained. An adjoint of Jessen's type inequality has also been derived for the corresponding adjoint-semigroup, which does not give the analogous results…

Jensen's trace inequality is established for every multivariable, convex function and every trace or trace-like functional on a C*-algebra.

In this paper, some Jensen's type inequalities between quaternionic bounded selfadjoint operators on quaternionic Hilbert spaces are proved, using a log-convex function. Also, by applying a specific log-convex function, some particular…

Let $\mathbb{B}_J(\mathcal H)$ denote the set of self-adjoint operators acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ with spectra contained in an open interval $J$. A map $\Phi\colon\mathbb{B}_J(\mathcal H)\to {\mathbb B}(\mathcal H)_\text{sa} $…

Using the properties of geometric mean, we shall show for any $0\le \alpha ,\beta \le 1$, \[f\left( A{{\nabla }_{\alpha }}B \right)\le f\left( \left( A{{\nabla }_{\alpha }}B \right){{\nabla }_{\beta }}A \right){{\sharp}_{\alpha }}f\left(…

Given an nxn doubly stochastic matrix P satisfying an appropriate condition of linear algebraic-type, and a function f defined on a nonempty interval, we show that the validity of a convexity-type functional inequality for f in terms P…

It is well-known that if a real valued function acting on a convex set satisfies the $n$-variable Jensen inequality, for some natural number $n\geq 2$, then, for all $k\in\{1,\dots, n\}$, it fulfills the $k$-variable Jensen inequality as…

In this note we prove Jensen-type inequality for certain non-convex functions. We apply our idea to prove some inequalities which were suggested at some high-level math olympiades.

Motivated by a problem on comonotone approximation of $C^n$ functions by entire functions, for increasing functions $f\colon[0,1]\to[0,1]$, we characterize the possible values of $(a,b,c)$, where $a=I(f)(1)$, $b=I^2(f)(1)$, $c=I^3(f)(1)$…

In [B1, Theorem 2.36] we proved the equivalence of six conditions on a continuous function f on an interval. These conditions define a subset of the set of operator convex functions, whose elements are called strongly operator convex. Two…

In this paper we have considered a difference of Jensen's inequality for convex functions and proved some of its properties. In particular, we have obtained results for Csisz\'{a}r \cite{csi1} $f-$divergence. A result is established that…

In this paper we show that for a non-negative operator monotone function $f$ on $[0, \infty)$ such that $f(0)= 0$ and for any positive semidefinite matrices $A$ and $B$, $$ Tr((A-B)(f(A)-f(B))) \le Tr(|A-B|f(|A-B|)). $$ When the function…

Convex analysis is fundamental to proving inequalities that have a wide variety of applications in economics and mathematics. In this paper we provide Jensen-type inequalities for functions that are, intuitively, "very" convex. These…

This short but self-contained survey presents a number of elegant matrix/operator inequalities for general convex or concave functions, obtained with a unitary orbit technique. Jensen, sub or super-additivity type inequalities are…

Classically, Jensen's Inequality asserts that if $X$ is a compact convex set, and $f:K\to \mathbb{R}$ is a convex function, then for any probability measure $\mu$ on $K$, that $f(\text{bar}(\mu))\le \int f\;d\mu$, where $\text{bar}(\mu)$ is…

Let $A$ be a positive definite operator on a Hilbert space $H$, and $|||.|||$ be a unitarily invariant norm on $B(H)$. We show that if $f$ is an operator monotone function on $(0,\infty)$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, then $|||D^n…

In this work, an operator superquadratic function (in operator sense) for positive Hilbert space operators is defined. Several examples with some important properties together with some observations which are related to the operator…

We study the Mercer inequality and its operator extension for superquadratic functions. In particular, we give a more general form of the Mercer inequality by replacing some constants by positive operators. As some consequences, our results…

In this article we give some improvements and generalizations of the famous Jensen's and Jensen-Mercer inequalities for twice differentiable functions, where convexity property of the target function is not assumed in advance. They…
