Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Inequalities often appear in various fields of natural sciences. Nowadays, famous classical inequalities are still improved and/or generalized by many researchers. That is, inequalities have been actively studied by mathematicians. Moreover, classical inequalities can be applied to engineering fields, while a newly obtained inequality is beautiful. Such beauty may attract one to the study of inequalities.

In this Special Issue, we call for papers on new results for mathematical inequalities, as well as new proofs for well-known inequalities or short notes with interesting results in open problems.  We welcome all kinds of mathematical inequalities such as scalar inequalities on summation, inequalities on integral form, operator/matrix inequalities, and norm inequalities.

Abstract
We establish one-sided weighted endpoint estimates for the ϱ -variation ( ϱ > 2 ) operators of one-sided singular integrals under certain priori assumption by applying one-sided Calderón–Zygmund argument. Using one-sided sharp maximal estimates, we further prove that the ϱ -variation operators of [...] Read more.
We establish one-sided weighted endpoint estimates for the ϱ -variation ( ϱ > 2 ) operators of one-sided singular integrals under certain priori assumption by applying one-sided Calderón–Zygmund argument. Using one-sided sharp maximal estimates, we further prove that the ϱ -variation operators of related commutators are bounded on one-sided weighted Lebesgue and Morrey spaces. In addition, we also show that these operators are bounded from one-sided weighted Morrey spaces to one-sided weighted Campanato spaces. As applications, we obtain some results for the λ -jump operators and the numbers of up-crossings. Our main results represent one-sided extensions of many previously known ones. Full article

In the present paper, we obtain some new inequalities for weaving K-frames in subspaces based on the operator methods. The inequalities are associated with a sequence of bounded complex numbers and a parameter λ R . We also give a double inequality for weaving K-frames with the help of two bounded linear operators induced by K-dual. Facts prove that our results cover those recently obtained on weaving frames due to Li and Leng, and Xiang. Full article

New versions of a Gronwall–Bellman inequality in the frame of the generalized (Riemann–Liouville and Caputo) proportional fractional derivative are provided. Before proceeding to the main results, we define the generalized Riemann–Liouville and Caputo proportional fractional derivatives and integrals and expose some of their features. We prove our main result in light of some efficient comparison analyses. The Gronwall–Bellman inequality in the case of weighted function is also obtained. By the help of the new proposed inequalities, examples of Riemann–Liouville and Caputo proportional fractional initial value problems are presented to emphasize the solution dependence on the initial data and on the right-hand side.

Under the assumptions of n-convexity and n-concavity, we give new generalizations of Steffensen’s inequality and its reverse. Generalizations of some inequalities (and their reverse), which are related to Hardy-type inequality. New bounds of Gr u ¨ ss and Ostrowski-type inequalities have been proved. Moreover, we formulate generalized Steffensen’s-type linear functionals and prove their monotonicity for the generalized class of ( n + 1 ) -convex functions at a point. At the end, we present some applications of our study to the theory of exponentially convex functions. Full article

In this paper, we present several new inequalities for weaving frames in Hilbert spaces from the point of view of operator theory, which are related to a linear bounded operator induced by three Bessel sequences and a scalar in the set of real numbers. It is indicated that our results are more general and cover the corresponding results recently obtained by Li and Leng. We also give a triangle inequality for weaving frames in Hilbert spaces, which is structurally different from previous ones. Full article

In this work, our focus is to study the Fekete-Szegö functional in a different and innovative manner, and to do this we find its upper bound for certain analytic functions which give hyperbolic regions as image domain. The upper bounds obtained in this paper give refinement of already known results. Moreover, we extend our work by calculating similar problems for the inverse functions of these certain analytic functions for the sake of completeness. Full article

In the theory of analytic and univalent functions, coefficients of functions’ Taylor series representation and their related functional inequalities are of major interest and how they estimate functions’ growth in their specified domains. One of the important and useful functional inequalities is the Fekete-Szegö inequality. In this work, we aim to analyze the Fekete-Szegö functional and to find its upper bound for certain analytic functions which give parabolic and petal type regions as image domains. Coefficient inequalities and the Fekete-Szegö inequality of inverse functions to these certain analytic functions are also established in this work. Full article
