Abstract

The article first shows one alternative definition of convexity in the discrete case. The correlation between barycenters, Jensen’s inequality and convexity is studied in the integral case. The Hermite-Hadamard inequality is also obtained as a consequence of a concept of barycenters. Some derived results are applied to the quasi-arithmetic means and especially to the power means.

Summary

Introduction

Sets with the common barycenter are observed in geometry, mechanics dealing with mass densities and probability theory in the study of random variables. Development and application of the theory of convex functions includes barycenters. The following result, expressed by the measure and integral, is the most commonly used. F (t) dμ(t) holds for every μ-integrable convex function f : B → R.’. The intention of this paper is still more to connect the quoted implication (in the extended form) with convex functions, in the discrete and integral case. The quoted result was observed in Banach spaces. It was assumed that A and B are bounded closed convex subsets of a Banach space E such that A ⊂ B and f : B → R is a convex function. Throughout the whole paper, we suppose that I ⊆ R is a non-degenerate interval.
