Generalizations of Steffensen’s Inequality by Lidstone’s Polynomials

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We obtain generalizations of Steffensen’s inequality by using Lidstone’s polynomials. Furthermore, the functionals associated with the obtained generalizations are used to generate n-exponentially and exponentially convex functions, as well as the new Stolarsky-type means.
