On discrete inequalities for some classes of sequences

Abstract

For a given sequence a=(a1,…,an)∈Rna=\left({a}_{1},\ldots ,{a}_{n})\in {{\mathbb{R}}}^{n}, our aim is to obtain an estimate of En≔a1+an2−1n∑i=1nai{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 En{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.
