Abstract.

Some new Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for differentiable convex functions were presented by Xi and Qi. In this paper, we present new generalizations on the Xi-Qi inequalities.

1. Introduction

The Hermite-Hadamard inequality [1–3] states that if is a convex function on , then

Let be differentiable on and with . Below we recall some Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities.

In 1998, Dragomir and Agarwal [4] showed that (i) if is convex on , then

and (ii) if is convex on with , then

In 2000, Pearce and Pečarić [5] showed that if is convex on with , then

In 2004, Kirmaci [6] showed that if is convex on with , then

In 2010, Sarikaya et al. [7] showed that if and is convex on with , then

In 2012, Xi and Qi [8] showed that if , and if and is convex on with , then

Moreover, for other results involving the Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities, we also refer to [9–23].

In this paper, we generalize the Xi-Qi inequalities.
