Integral majorization type inequalities for the functions in the sense of strong convexity (Q2311691)

The authors establish several integral majorization estimates which generalize \textit{J. Favard}'s inequalities [Bull. Sci. Math., II. Ser. 57, 54--64 (1933; Zbl 0007.06104)] for strongly convex functions. One of their main results is the following: Let \(c > 0\), \(\Psi: [0,\infty)\rightarrow \mathbb R\) be a continuous strongly convex function with modulus \(c\), and let \(f\), \(g\), and \(\Omega\) be three positive and integrable functions, defined on \([a, b]\), such that \(\int_a^xf(r)\Omega(r)\,dr\le\int_a^xg(r)\Omega(r)\,dr\), for all \(x\in[a,b]\) and \(\int_a^bf(r)\Omega(r)\,dr=\int_a^bg(r)\Omega(r)\,dr\). Then, if \(f\) is decreasing, \[ \int_a^b\Psi(g(r))\Omega(r)\,dr\ge\int_a^b\Psi(f(r))\Omega(r)\,dr+ c\int_a^b(f(r)-g(r))^2\Omega(r)\,dr. \] Similar results hold assuming \(g\) to be an increasing function.
