Full Solution

The paper presents sufficient conditions for certain functions to be convex. Functions of this type often appear in Markov decision processes, where their maximum is the solution of the problem. Since a convex function takes its maximum at an extreme point, the conditions may greatly simplify a problem. In some cases a full solution may be obtained after the reduction is made. Some illustrative examples are discussed.

Difficult Issue

In this paper we study a certain differential subordination related to the harmonic mean and its symmetry properties, in the case where a dominant is a linear function. In addition to the known general results for the differential subordinations of the harmonic mean in which the dominant was any convex function, one can study such differential subordinations for the selected convex function. In this case, a reasonable and difficult issue is to look for the best dominant or one that is close to it. This paper is devoted to this issue, in which the dominant is a linear function, and the differential subordination of the harmonic mean is a generalization of the Briot–Bouquet differential subordination.

Generalized Convex Functions

Abstract In the article, we provide an example for a η-convex function defined on rectangle is not convex, prove that every η-convex function defined on rectangle is coordinate η-convex and its converse is not true in general, define the coordinate $(\eta _{1}, \eta _{2})$(η1,η2)-convex function and establish its Hermite–Hadamard type inequality.

Abstract In this work, some new functional of Jensen-type inequalities are constructed using Shannon entropy, f-divergence, and Rényi divergence, and some estimates are obtained for these new functionals. Also using the Zipf–Mandelbrot law and hybrid Zipf–Mandelbrot law, we investigate some bounds for these new functionals. Furthermore, we generalize these new functionals for m-convex function using Lidstone polynomial.

Continuity Condition

In this paper, a condition which implies the continuity of an [Formula: see text]-convex function is investigated. In fact, any [Formula: see text]-convex function bounded from above is continuous if the function [Formula: see text] satisfies a certain condition which is called pre-continuity condition.

Bounded Convex

Let X1, X2, · ··, Xn be independent random variables such that ai ≦ Xi ≦ bi, i = 1,2,…n. A class of upper bounds on the probability P(S−ES ≧ nδ) is derived where S = Σf(Xi), δ > 0 and f is a continuous convex function. Conditions for the exponential convergence of the bounds are discussed.
