On the Operator Jensen-Mercer Inequality

Abstract

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 assuming convexity nor operator convexity. Yet, this form refines the known inequalities in the literature. Second, we present a log-convex version for operators. We then use these results to refine some inequalities related to quasi-arithmetic means of Mercer's type for operators.
