On Ostrowski type inequalities for Stieltjes integrals with absolutely continuous integrands and integrators of bounded variation (Q2460577): Difference between revisions

The main result of the paper states that for an absolutely continuous function \(u\) of bounded variation, defined on an interval \([a,b]\) one has the inequality \[ \Biggl|[u(b)- u(a)] f(x)- \int^b_a f(t)\,du(t)\Biggr|\leq M(x), \] where \(M(x)= M_1(x)+ M_2(x)\), and \[ \begin{aligned} M_1(x)&= \bigvee^x_a (u)\,\sup_{t\in [a,x]} [(x- t)\mu(f; x,t)],\\ M_2(x)&= \bigvee^b_x (u)\,\sup_{t\in [a,x]}[(t- x)\mu(f; x,t)] \end{aligned} \] for \(x\) in \([a,b]\). Here \[ \mu(f; x,t)= \Biggl| \int^1_0 f'[\lambda t+ (1-\lambda) x]\,d\lambda\Biggr|. \] The case when \(|f'|\) is convex is exploited, and applications for the mid-point rule and a generalized trapezoid rule are also presented.
