Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The theory of inequalities represents a long-standing topic in many mathematical areas and remains an attractive research domain with many applications. This Special Issue brings together original research papers in all areas of mathematics that are concerned with inequalities or their role. The research results presented in this Special Issue are related to the improvement of classical inequalities and highlight their applications, promoting an exchange of ideas between mathematicians from many parts of the world dedicated to the theory of inequalities.

For example, the study of convex functions has occupied a central role in the theory of inequalities because such functions develop a series of inequalities. In number theory, a number of inequalities characterize arithmetic functions. Other important types of inequalities are those related to invertible positive operators that have applications in operator equations, network theory and quantum information theory (inequalities for generalized entropies).

Please note that all submitted papers should be within the scope of the journal.

Due to the great success of our Special Issue "Symmetry in the Mathematical Inequalities", we decided to set up a second volume. We invite you to contribute to the Special Issue "Inequality and Symmetry in Mathematical Analysis" by https://www.mdpi.com/journal/symmetry/special_issues/symmetry_mathematical_inequalities2.

There is a strong correlation between convexity and symmetry concepts. In this study, we investigated the new generic class of functions called the (n,m)–generalized convex and studied its basic algebraic properties. The Hermite–Hadamard inequality for the (n,m)–generalized convex function, for the products of two functions and of this type, were proven. Moreover, this class of functions was applied to several known identities; midpoint-type inequalities of Ostrowski and Simpson were derived. Our results are extensions of many previous contributions related to integral inequalities via different convexities. Full article

In this paper, we consider the Brinkman equations pipe flow, which includes the salinity and the temperature. Assuming that the fluid satisfies nonlinear boundary conditions at the finite end of the cylinder, using the symmetry of differential inequalities and the energy analysis methods, we establish the exponential decay estimates for homogeneous Brinkman equations. That is to prove that the solutions of the equation decay exponentially with the distance from the finite end of the cylinder. To make the estimate of decay explicit, the bound for the total energy is also derived. Full article

In this paper, we provide some bounds for the differences between the weighted arithmetic and geometric means, using known inequalities. We improve the results given by Furuichi-Ghaemi-Gharakhanlu and Sababheh-Choi. We also give some bounds on entropies, applying the results in a different approach. We explore certain convex or concave functions, which are symmetric functions on the axis t=1/2. Full article

The spatial properties of solutions for a class of thermoelastic plate with biharmonic operator were studied. The energy method was used. We constructed an energy expression. A differential inequality which the energy expression was controlled by a second-order differential inequality is deduced. The Phragme´n-Lindelo¨f alternative results of the solutions were obtained by solving the inequality. These results show that the Saint-Venant principle is also valid for the hyperbolic–hyperbolic coupling equations. Our results can been seen as a version of symmetry in inequality for studying the Phragme´n-Lindelo¨f alternative results. Full article

From the past to the present, various works have been dedicated to Simpson’s inequality for differentiable convex functions. Simpson-type inequalities for twice-differentiable functions have been the subject of some research. In this paper, we establish a new generalized fractional integral identity involving twice-differentiable functions, then we use this result to prove some new Simpson’s-formula-type inequalities for twice-differentiable convex functions. Furthermore, we examine a few special cases of newly established inequalities and obtain several new and old Simpson’s-formula-type inequalities. These types of analytic inequalities, as well as the methodologies for solving them, have applications in a wide range of fields where symmetry is crucial. Full article

In this article we give sharp global bounds for the generalized Jensen functional Jn(g,h;p,x). In particular, exact bounds are determined for the generalized power mean in terms from the class of Stolarsky means. As a consequence, we obtain the best possible global converses of quotients and differences of the generalized arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means. Full article

Recently, fractional calculus has been the center of attraction for researchers in mathematical sciences because of its basic definitions, properties and applications in tackling real-life problems. The main purpose of this article is to present some fractional integral inequalities of Ostrowski type for a new class of convex mapping. Specifically, n–polynomial exponentially s–convex via fractional operator are established. Additionally, we present a new Hermite–Hadamard fractional integral inequality. Some special cases of the results are discussed as well. Due to the nature of convexity theory, there exists a strong relationship between convexity and symmetry. When working on either of the concepts, it can be applied to the other one as well. Integral inequalities concerned with convexity have a lot of applications in various fields of mathematics in which symmetry has a great part to play. Finally, in applications, some new limits for special means of positive real numbers and midpoint formula are given. These new outcomes yield a few generalizations of the earlier outcomes already published in the literature. Full article
