On discrete inequalities for some classes of sequences

Abstract

For a given sequence a = ( a 1 , … , a n ) ∈ R n a=\left({a}_{1},\ldots ,{a}_{n})\in {{\mathbb{R}}}^{n} , our aim is to obtain an estimate of E n ≔ a 1 + a n 2 − 1 n ∑ i = 1 n a i {E}_{n}:= \left|\hspace{-0.33em},\frac{{a}_{1}+{a}_{n}}{2}-\frac{1}{n}{\sum }_{i=1}^{n}{a}_{i},\hspace{-0.33em}\right| . Several classes of sequences are studied. For each class, an estimate of E n {E}_{n} is obtained. We also introduce the class of convex matrices, which is a discrete version of the class of convex functions on the coordinates. For this set of matrices, new discrete Hermite-Hadamard-type inequalities are proved. Our obtained results are extensions of known results from the continuous case to the discrete case.
