Necessary and sufficient conditions for discrete inequalities of Jensen–Steffensen type with applications

Abstract In this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the discrete Jensen inequality to be satisfied for real (not necessarily nonnegative) weights. The result generalizes and completes the classical Jensen–Steffensen inequality. The validity of the strict inequality is studied. As...
