JENSEN’S INEQUALITY WITH APPLICATIONS

S.S. DRAGOMIR, Y.J. CHO?, AND J.K. KIM

Abstract. Some new results related to Jensen’s celebrated inequality for con-vex functions defined on concon-vex sets in linear spaces are given. Applications for the arithmetic mean-geometric mean inequality are provided as well.

1. Introduction

LetC be a convex subset of the linear space X andf a convex function on C. IfIdenotes a finite subset of the setNof natural numbers,xi∈C, pi≥0 fori∈I

andPI :=P

i∈Ipi>0,then we have

(1.1) f 1

PI

X

i∈I pixi

! ≤ 1

PI

X

i∈I

pif(xi),

which is well known in the literature asJensen’s inequality.

The Jensen inequality for convex functions plays a crucial role in the Theory of Inequalities due to the fact that other inequalities such as the generalised triangle inequality, the arithmetic mean-geometric mean inequality, H¨older and Minkowski inequalities, Ky Fan’s inequality etc. can be obtained as particular cases of it.

In order to simplify the presentation, we introduce the following notations (see also [14]):

F(C,R) := the linear space of all real functions onC, F+(C,R) :={f ∈F(C,R) :f(x)>0 for allx∈C},

Pf(N) :={I⊂N: I is finite},

J(R) :=

p={pi}i∈N, pi∈Rare such thatPI 6= 0 for allI∈Pf(N) ,

and

J+(R) :={p∈J(R) :pi≥0 for alli∈N},

J∗(C) :=x={xi}i∈N:xi∈C for alli∈N

and

Conv(C,R) := the cone of all convex functions defined onC, respectively.

In [14] the authors considered the following functional associated with the Jensen inequality:

(1.2) J(f, I, p, x) :=X

i∈I

pif(xi)−PIf 1 PI

X

i∈I pixi

!

,

where f ∈F(C,R), I ∈ Pf(N), p ∈J+(R), x∈J∗(C). They established some

quasi-linearity and monotonicity properties and applied the obtained results for norm and means inequalities.

The following result concerning the properties of the functionalJ(f, I,·, x) as a function of weights holds (see [14, Theorem 2.4]):

Theorem 1. Let f ∈Conv(C,R), I∈Pf(N)andx∈J∗(C).

(i) If p, q∈J+(

R)then

(1.3) J(f, I, p+q, x)≥J(f, I, p, x) +J(f, I, q, x) (≥0)

i.e., J(f, I,·, x)is superadditive onJ+(

R);

(ii) If p, q∈J+(

R)with p≥q, meaning thatpi ≥qi for each i∈N, then

(1.4) J(f, I, p, x)≥J(f, I, q, x) (≥0)

i.e., J(f, I,·, x)is monotonic nondecreasing on J+(

R).

The behavior of this functional as anindex set function is incorporated in the following (see [14, Theorem 2.1]):

Theorem 2. Let f ∈Conv(C,R), p∈J+(

R)andx∈J∗(C).

(i) If I, H∈Pf(N) withI∩H =,then

(1.5) J(f, I∪H, p, x)≥J(f, I, p, x) +J(f, H, p, x) (≥0),

i.e., J(f,·, p, x)is superadditive as an index set function onPf(N); (ii) If I, H∈Pf(N) withH ⊂I,then

(1.6) J(f, I, p, x)≥J(f, H, p, x) (≥0),

i.e., J(f,·, p, x) is monotonic nondecreasing as an index set function on Pf(N).

As pointed out in [14], the above Theorem 2 is a generalisation of the Vasi´ c-Mijalkovi´c result for convex functions of a real variable obtained in [16] and therefore creates the possibility to obtain vectorial inequalities as well.

For applications of the above results to logarithmic convex functions, to norm inequalities, in relation with the arithmetic mean-geometric mean inequality and with other classical results, see [14].

2. Some Subadditivity Properties for the Weights

We consider the more general functional

(2.1) D(f, I, p, x; Ψ) :=PIΨ

"

1 PI

X

i∈I

pif(xi)−f 1 PI

X

i∈I pixi

,

where f ∈Conv(C,R), I ∈Pf(N), p∈J+(R), x ∈J∗(C) and Ψ : [0,∞)→R

is a function whose properties will determine the behavior of the functionalD as follows. Obviously, for Ψ (t) =twe recapture from D the functional J considered in [14].

First of all we observe that, by Jensen’s inequality, the functional D is well defined andpositive homogeneous in the third variable, i.e.,

D(f, I, αp, x; Ψ) =αD(f, I, p, x; Ψ),

for anyα >0 andp∈J+(

R).

The following result concerning the subadditivity of the functionalD as a func-tion of weights holds:

Theorem 3. Let f ∈ Conv(C,R), I ∈ Pf(N) and x ∈ J∗(C). Assume that

Ψ : [0,∞) → R is monotonic nonincreasing and convex where it is defined. If

p, q∈J+(R) then

(2.2) D(f, I, p+q, x; Ψ)≤D(f, I, p, x; Ψ) +D(f, I, q, x; Ψ),

i.e., D is subadditive as a function of weights.

Proof. Letp, q∈J+(R).It is easy to see that, by the convexity of the functionf

onC,we have

Since Ψ is monotonic nonincreasing, then by (2.3) we have

Finally, on making use of (2.4) and (2.5), we deduce the desired inequality (2.2).

Obviously, there are many examples of functions Ψ : [0,∞)→Rthat are

mono-tonically decreasing and convex on the interval [0,∞).In what follows we give some examples that are of interest.

Example 1. Consider the functionΨ : [0,∞)→(0,∞)defined byΨ (t) = exp (−t). Obviously this function is strictly decreasing and strictly convex on the interval [0,∞)and we can consider the functional

(2.6) E(f, I, p, x) :=D(f, I, p, x; exp (−·)) =

Since the functional E(f, I,·, x) is subadditive, then we can state the following interesting inequality for convex functions

for any I ∈ Pf(N) with card(I) ≥ 2 and p ∈ J+(R) (notice that is enough to

assume thatf is strictly convex andxis not constant). If we consider the function Ψ : (0,∞)→(0,∞)defined byΨ (t) =t−α withα >0,then obviously this function is strictly decreasing and strictly convex on the interval(0,∞)and we can consider the functional

W(f, I, p, x) :=Df, I, p, x; (·)−α (2.8)

Since the functionalE(f, I,·, x)is subadditive, we can state the following interesting inequality for convex functions

Corollary 1. Let f ∈ Conv(C,R), I ∈ Pf(N) and x ∈ J∗(C). Assume that

Ξ : [0,∞)→(0,∞). We define the new functional

(2.10) M(f, I, p, x; Ξ) :=

(

Ξ

1 PI

X

i∈I

pif(xi)−f 1 PI

X

i∈I pixi

.

If Ξ : [0,∞)→(0,∞) is monotonic nonincreasing and logarithmic convex, i.e. ln (Ξ)is a convex function, then for anyp, q∈J+(

R)we have

(2.11) M(f, I, p+q, x; Ξ)≤M(f, I, p, x; Ξ)·M(f, I, q, x; Ξ),

i.e., the functional is submultiplicative as a function of weights.

Proof. Consider the function Ψ = ln (Ξ) which is convex and, obviously

D(f, I, p, x; Ψ) = lnM(f, I, p, x; Ξ).

The inequality (2.11) follows now by (2.2) and the details are omitted.

Example 3. We consider the Dirichlet series generated by a nonnegative sequence an, n≥1namely δ: (0,∞)→(0,∞) given by

(2.12) δ(s) :=

∞ X

(6)

An important example of such series is the Zeta function defined by

ζ(s) :=

∞ X

n=1 1

ns fors >1.

It is known that the functionδis monotonic nondecreasing and logarithmic con-vex on(0,∞)(see for instance[3]). Therefore, for any Dirichlet series of the form (2.12) we have the inequalities

3. Some Subadditivity Properties for the Index

The following result concerning the superadditivity and monotonicity of the func-tionalD as an index set function holds:

Theorem 4. Let f ∈ Conv(C,R), p ∈ J+(R) and x ∈ J∗(C). Assume that

Ψ : [0,∞) → R is monotonic nonincreasing and convex where it is defined. If

I, H∈Pf(N)withI∩H=∅,then

(3.1) D(f, I∪H, p, x; Ψ)≤D(f, I, p, x; Ψ) +D(f, H, p, x; Ψ),

i.e., D(f,·, p, x; Ψ)is subadditive as an index set function onPf(N).

Proof. LetI, H ∈ Pf(N) with I∩H =∅. By the convexity of the function f on

C,we have successively

Ψ : [0,∞)→Ris monotonic nonincreasing and convex where it is defined. Then

The following submultiplicity result also holds:

Corollary 3. Let f ∈ Conv(C,R), I ∈ Pf(N) and x ∈ J∗(C). Assume that

Ξ : [0,∞)→(0,∞)is monotonic nonincreasing and logarithmic convex. If I, H ∈

Pf(N) withI∩H =,then

(3.9) M(f, I∪H, p, x; Ξ)≤M(f, I, p, x; Ξ)·M(f, H, p, x; Ξ),

(9)

4. Applications for the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean Inequality

For two sequences of positive numberspandx,we use the notations

A(p, x, I) := 1 PI

X

i∈I

pixi and G(p, x, I) := Y i∈I

xpi i

!PI1

,

where I is a finite set of indices and A(p, x, I) is the arithmetic mean while G(p, x, I) is thegeometric mean of the numbersxi with the weightspi, i∈I.

It is well known that

(4.1) A(p, x, I)≥G(p, x, I),

which is known in the literature as thearithmetic mean-geometric mean inequality. For various results related to this inequality we recommend the monograph [2] and the references therein.

For the convex functionf : (0,∞)→R,f(t) :=−ln (t),consider the functional

(4.2) L(I, p, x; Ψ) :=D(−ln (·), I, p, x; Ψ) :=PIΨ

ln

A(p, x, I)

G(p, x, I)

.

We can state the following.

Proposition 1. Let f ∈ Conv(C,R), I ∈ Pf(N) and x∈ J∗(C). Assume that

Ψ : [0,∞)→Ris monotonic nonincreasing and convex where it is defined.

(i) If p, q∈J+(

R), then

(4.3) L(I, p+q, x; Ψ)≤L(I, p, x; Ψ) +L(I, q, x; Ψ)

i.e., Lis subadditive as a function of weights. (ii) If I, H∈Pf(N) withI∩H =∅,then

(4.4) L(I∪H, p, x; Ψ)≤L(I, p, x; Ψ) +L(H, p, x; Ψ),

i.e., Lis subadditive as an index set function onPf(N).

Utilising these inequalities, we can state the following results concerning the arithmetic and geometric means:

Example 6. Consider the functionΨ : [0,∞)→(0,∞)defined byΨ (t) = exp (−t). Obviously this function is strictly decreasing and strictly convex on the interval [0,∞)and we can consider the functional

(4.5) Le(I, p, x) :=L(I, p, x; exp (−·)) = PIG(p, x, I) A(p, x, I) .

By Proposition 1 above, we have thatLeis both additive as a weights and index set functional.

We can give the following example as well:

Example 7. If we consider the functionΨ : (0,∞)→(0,∞)defined byΨ (t) =t−α withα >0,then obviously this function is strictly decreasing and strictly convex on the interval (0,∞)and we can consider the functional

(4.6) Wln,α(I, p, x) :=L

I, p, x; (·)−α=PI

ln

A(p, x, I)

G(p, x, I)

−α .

(10)

Now, for positive sequencesxwe introduce the notation

(4.7) G(p, xx, I) := Y

i∈I xpixii

!PI1

,

which is the geometric mean of the sequence having the termsxxi i , i∈I.

For the convex functionf : (0,∞)→R,f(t) :=tln (t),consider the functional

(4.8) S(I, p, x; Ψ) :=D(·ln (·), I, p, x; Ψ) :=PIΨ

"

ln G(p, x x, I)

A(p, x, I)A(p,x,I)

!#

.

We can state the following.

Proposition 2. Let f ∈ Conv(C,R), I ∈ Pf(N) and x∈ J∗(C). Assume that

Ψ : [0,∞)→Ris monotonic nonincreasing and convex where it is defined.

(i) If p, q∈J+(R), then

(4.9) S(I, p+q, x; Ψ)≤S(I, p, x; Ψ) +S(I, q, x; Ψ),

i.e., S is subadditive as a function of weights. (ii) If I, H∈Pf(N) withI∩H =∅,then

(4.10) S(I∪H, p, x; Ψ)≤S(I, p, x; Ψ) +S(H, p, x; Ψ),

i.e., S is subadditive as an index set function onPf(N).

Remark 1. For the function Ψ : [0,∞)→(0,∞)defined by Ψ (t) = exp (−t) we can consider the functional

(4.11) Se(I, p, x) :=S(I, p, x; exp (−·)) =

PIA(p, x, I) A(p,x,I)

G(p, xx, I) .

By the above Proposition 2 we have that Seis both additive as a weights and index set functional.

For the function Ψ : (0,∞)→(0,∞)defined byΨ (t) =t−α with α >0, we can also consider the functional

(4.12) Zln,α(I, p, x) :=S

I, p, x; (·)−α=PI

"

ln G(p, x x, I)

A(p, x, I)A(p,x,I)

!#−α

.

By the above Proposition 2 we have that Zln,α is both additive as a weights and index set functional.

The interested reader can consider other examples of functions f and Ψ and derive functionals that are associated with the Ky Fan, triangle or other inequalities that can be obtained from the Jensen result. However, the details are not presented here.
