Integral Jensen–Mercer and Related Inequalities for Signed Measures with Refinements

open access: yesMathematics
In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the integral Jensen–Mercer inequality and closely related inequalities to be satisfied for finite signed measures.

On a Jensen-Mercer operator inequality [PDF]

open access: yesBanach Journal of Mathematical Analysis, 2011
We give a general form of the Jensen-Mercer operator inequality for convex functions and its refinement for operator convex functions, continuous fields of operators and unital fields of positive linear mappings. As consequences, we obtain a global upper bound for the Jensen's operator functional, and some properties of the quasi-arithmetic operator ...

Comments on Jensen’s Inequalities

open access: yesMalaya Journal of Matematik, 2014
The paper gives generalizations of some Jensen type inequalities for convex functions of one variable. The work is based on the methods which use convex combinations in deriving inequalities. The main inequality is applied to the quasi-arithmetic means.

How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

On inequalities of Jensen-Ostrowski type [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We provide new inequalities of Jensen-Ostrowski type, by considering bounds for the magnitude of (Formula Presented), with various assumptions on the absolutely continuous function f:[a,b]→C and a μ-measurable function g, and a complex number λ ...

A pipeline crisis or a sustainability crisis? Local and national succession planning for headteachers in England

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Recruiting and retaining school leaders is a challenge in many systems worldwide. Previous research has identified three distinct ways in which succession planning can be conceptualised and approached: a ‘pipeline’ approach seeks to match supply and demand for the posts that need filling; a ‘pool’ strategy involves proactively identifying and ...

New Estimations for Shannon and Zipf–Mandelbrot Entropies

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
The main purpose of this paper is to find new estimations for the Shannon and Zipf–Mandelbrot entropies. We apply some refinements of the Jensen inequality to obtain different bounds for these entropies.

Some Reverses of the Jensen Inequality for Functions of Selfadjoint Operators in Hilbert Spaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Some reverses of the Jensen inequality for functions of selfadjoint operators in Hilbert spaces under suitable assumptions for the involved operators are given.

How sharp is the Jensen inequality?

open access: yes, 2015
We study how good the Jensen inequality is, that is, the discrepancy between ∫01φ(f(x))dx$\int_{0}^{1} \varphi(f(x)) \,dx$, and φ(∫01f(x)dx)$\varphi ( \int_{0}^{1} f(x) \,dx )$, φ being convex and f(x)$f(x)$ a nonnegative L1$L^{1}$ function.

What works in internal alternative provision? A salutogenic analysis

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Schools across England are setting up ‘internal alternative provision’ to meet the social, emotional and mental health needs of increasing numbers of pupils at risk of suspension, exclusion and absence. However, there is little guidance about what good practice looks like.
