Mthemtics Subject Clssifiction: 26D15 Keywords: Qi-type inequlity; integrl inequlity; open problem 1 Introduction The following problem ws posed by Qi in his rticle [13]: Under wht condition does the inequlity ( [ ] b t 1 t f(x dx f (1 hold for t>1?. There re numerous nswers nd extension results to this open problem [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16]. These results were obtined by different pproches, such s, e.g. Jensen s inequlity, the convexity method [16]; functionl inequlities in bstrct spces [1, 2]; probbility mesures view [4, 7]; Hölder inequlity nd its reversed vrints [2, 12]; nlyticl methods [11, 15]; Cuchy s men vlue theorem [3, 14]. In [9], the uthors introduced the following discrete version of (1 s follows, Under wht condition does the inequlity ( n n β x α i i x i i (2 i=1 i=1

Very recently, some similr discrete inequlities were developed (for instnce, the reference [10]. In [5], the uthors posed the following open problem. Open Problem 1. Under wht conditions does the inequlity hold for α, β nd? ( f α+β (x α f β (3 In the pper, we will estblish severl nswers to the bove open problem. 2 Min results Theorem 2.1. Let f(x,g(x > 0 be continuous functions on [, b]. Assume tht α, β > 0 nd Then we hve ( g α+β 1 for ll x [, b]. (4 g α (xf β β ( f α+β. Proof. By the Hölder s inequlity nd the condition (4, we hve ( g α (xf β β ( ( α ( g α+β β b f α+β. f α+β From the bove theorem we hve the following Corollry 2.2. Let α, β > 0 nd (b +1 α + β +1.

(1 Assume tht 1, α 0,β R nd then we cn get ( (1 /α g (x f β f(x for ll x [, b], (6 ( ( g α (xf β f α+β. (7 (2 Assume tht <0, α 0,β R nd (6, then the inequlity (7 holds. (3 Assume tht 0 < 1, α 0,β R nd ( (1 /α g (x f β f(x for ll x [, b], (8 then the inequlity in (7 reverses. Proof. For ny function h(x, let E μ h(x = h(xμ(dx where μ(dx = f β f β. Then we hve ( ( f α+β = f β [E μ f α (X] nd by the Jesen s inequlity, ( ( g α (xf β = From the condition (6, we hve ( [ f β E μ g α (X ] ( which implies the desired result. f β [E μ g α (X] ( [ f β E μ g α (X ]. f β [E μ f α (X]

Let X denote the uniform rndom vrible on [, b], then it is not difficult to check ( b gα (xf β f α+β which implies the desired result.
