In this paper we consider Jessen’s functional, defined by means of a positive isotonic linear functional, and investigate its properties. Derived results are then applied to weighted generalized power means, which yields extensions of some recent results, known from the literature. In particular, we obtain the whole series of refinements and converses of numerous classical inequalities such as ...

For all $a,b>0$, the following two optimal inequalities are presented: $H^{alpha}(a,b)L^{1-alpha}(a,b)geq M_{frac{1-4alpha}{3}}(a,b)$ for $alphain[frac{1}{4},1)$, and $ H^{alpha}(a,b)L^{1-alpha}(a,b)leq M_{frac{1-4alpha}{3}}(a,b)$ for $alphain(0,frac{3sqrt{5}-5}{40}]$. Here, $H(a,b)$, $L(a,b)$, and $M_p(a,b)$ denote the harmonic, logarithmic, and power means of order $p$ of two positive numbers...

We derive a lower bound on the differential entropy of a log-concave random variable X in terms of the p-th absolute moment of X. The new bound leads to a reverse entropy power inequality with an explicit constant, and to new bounds on the rate-distortion function and the channel capacity. Specifically, we study the rate-distortion function for log-concave sources and distortion measure |x− x̂|,...

In this note, we give some estimate of the generalized quadrature formula of Gauss-Jacobi$$underset{a}{overset{a+eta left( b,aright) }{int }}left( x-aright)^{p}left( a+eta left( b,aright) -xright) ^{q}fleft( xright) dx$$in the cases where $f$ and $left| fright| ^{lambda }$ for $lambda >1$, are $s$-preinvex functions in the second sense.
