Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2007, Article number: 072173 (2007) Cite this article

Abstract

We generalize and sharpen Aczél's inequality and Popoviciu's inequality by means of two classical inequalities, a unified improvement of Aczél's inequality and Popoviciu's inequality is given. As application, an integral inequality of Aczél-Popoviciu type is established.
