Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to state and prove certain inequalities that involve means (e.g., the arithmetic, geometric, logarithmic means) using a particular result. First of all we recall useful properties of a real-valued convex function that will be used in the proof of our inequalities. Further, we present three inequalities, the first involving the logarithmic mean, the second involving the classical arithmetical and geometrical means and in the last we introduce a new mean. Finally, we give alternate proofs to the Schweitzer’s inequality and Khanin’s inequality.
Keywords:
Generalized mean, logarithmic mean, convex function, maximum point.
