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

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.
