On the inequalities of Grüss-Čebyshev and Kantorovich: a probabilistic approach (Q2036220)

Summary: First we recall the original form of inequalities found by P. L. Čebyshev in 1882, G. Grüss in 1935 and V. L. Kantorovich in 1948. Then we formulate generalized versions of these inequalities in the language of probability theory which allows to prove them by simple probabilistic arguments. A further moment inequality of this type rounds off this note.
