Abstract

We establish the inequality

17068--1.pngwhere Capture-11.PNG is superquadratic and
prove a more general inequality where 1/2n and 2n -1/2n are replaced by a/2n and b/2n respectively, with a+b=2n ,n ∈ N, the latter is extended to the case where
a+b ≠ 2n , n ∈  N.

Keywords: Convex function, Midconvex function, Superquadratic function, Jensen's inequality and Rened Jensen's inequality
