SARAJEVO JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS Vol.4 (7) (2008), 9 96 AN UPPER BOUND ESTIMATE FOR H. ALZER S INTEGRAL INEQUALITY CHU YUMING, ZHANG XIAOMING AND TANG XIAOMIN Abstrct. We get n upper bound estimte for H. Alzer s integrl inequlity. As pplictions, we obtin some inequlities for the logrithmic men.. Introduction For b > > 0, the logrithmic men L(, b) of nd b is defined s L(, b) = log b log. (.) The logrithmic men hs numerous pplictions in physics. Mny properties nd inequlities re obtined by mny mthemticins (see [-8] nd the references therein). In 989, H. Alzer [9] proved the following result. Theorem A. Suppose b > > 0, nd f C[, b] is strictly incresing function. If is strictly convex, then f f(x) dx > ()f(l(, b)). (.2) The min purpose of this pper is to get the upper bound estimte for f(x) dx. Our min result is the following Theorem. 2000 Mthemtics Subject Clssifiction. 26D07. Key words nd phrses. Convex function, integrl inequlity, logrithmic men.

(.3) L(, b) As pplictions for Theorem A nd Theorem, we shll give some inequlities for the logrithmic men in Section 3. 2. Proof of Theorem Proof of Theorem. Put c = f() nd d = f(b). Then f : [c, d] [, b] is strictly incresing. For ny x [0, ], the strict convexity of implies f f [xf() + ( x)f(b)] = f [xc + ( x)d] < x f (c) + x f (d) = x + x. (2.) b Since f is strictly incresing, (2.) leds to ( xf() + ( x)f(b) > f b xb + ( x) ). (2.2) Next, for ny t [, b], tking x = (b t) b t(b ), then 0 x nd t = xb+( x). The inequlity (2.2) nd the trnsformtion of the vrible of integrtion yield f(t) dt = b() < b() = 0 ( f b xb+( x) ) [xb + ( x)] 2 dx f()x + f(b)( x) 0 [()x + ] 2 dx b(l(, b) )f(b) + (b L(, b))f().
