We study the connections between the equation $$\begin{aligned} \sum _{i=1}^na_if(\alpha _ix+(1-\alpha _i)y)=0 \end{aligned}$$ ∑ i = 1 n a i f ( α i x + ( 1 - α i ) y ) = 0 and the corresponding inequality. $$\begin{aligned} \sum _{i=1}^na_if(\alpha _ix+(1-\alpha _i)y)\ge 0. \end{aligned}$$ ∑ i = 1 n a i f ( α i x + ( 1 - α i ) y ) ≥ 0 . At present, it is clear that linear functional equations should be solved with the use of the results due to L. Székelyhidi. We show that the simplest and most efficient way of dealing with the (continuous) solutions of linear inequalities of the above form is connected with the use of stochastic orderings tools. It will be shown that, in order to solve the inequality, we need to know the continuous solutions of the corresponding equation. In the last part of the paper, we obtain some simple but unexpected connections in the other direction.

Let n be an odd positive integer. It was proved by Brass and Schmeisser that for every quadrature $$\mathcal {Q}=\alpha _1f(x_1)+\dots +\alpha _mf(x_m)$$ Q = α 1 f ( x 1 ) + ⋯ + α m f ( x m ) (with positive weights) of order at least $$n+1$$ n + 1 and for every $$n-$$ n - convex function f, the value of Q on f lies between the values of Gauss-Legendre and Gauss-Lobatto quadratures of order $$n+1$$ n + 1 calculated for the same function f. We generalize this result in two directions, replacing Q by an integral with respect to a given measure and allowing the number n to any positive integer (for even n Gauss-Radau quadratures replace Gauss-Legendre and Gauss-Lobatto ones).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
