Grüss-type and Ostrowski-type inequalities in approximation theory

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We discuss the Grüss inequalities on spaces of continuous functions defined on a compact metric space. Using the least concave majorant of the modulus of continuity, we obtain the Grüss inequality for the functional L(f) = H(f; x), where H:C[a, b] → C[a, b] is a positive linear operator and x ∈ [a, b] is fixed. We apply this inequality in the case of known operators, e.g., the Bernstein operator, the Hermite–Fejér interpolation operator, and convolution-type operators. Moreover, we deduce Grüss-type inequalities using the Cauchy mean-value theorem, thus generalizing results of Chebyshev and Ostrowski. The Grüss inequality on a compact metric space for more than two functions is given, and an analogous Ostrowski-type inequality is obtained. The latter, in turn, leads to one further version of the Grüss inequality. In the appendix, we prove a new result concerning the absolute first-order moments of the classic Hermite–Fejér operator.
