Inequalities of the Edmundson-Lah-Ribarč type for n-convex functions with applications
Abstract
UDC 517.5
We derive some Edmundson – Lah – Ribarič type inequalities for positive linear functionals and $n$-convex functions. Main results are applied to the generalized $f$ -divergence functional. Examples with Zipf – Mandelbrot law are used to illustrate the results.
