Abstract

Using known properties of superquadratic functions we obtain a sequence of inequalities for superquadratic functions such as the Converse and the Reverse Jensen type inequalities, the Giaccardi and the Petrovi\' c type inequalities and Hermite-Hadamard's inequalities. Especially, when the superquadratic function is convex at the same time, then we get refinements of classical known results for convex functions. Some other properties of superquadratic functions are also given.

Keywords: convex functions, Giaccardi's inequality, Hermite-Hadamard's inequality, Jensen's inequality, superquadratic functions, sum of power $p$
