Abstract

Several new reverses of the celebrated Jensen’s inequality for convex functions and Lebesgue integral on measurable spaces are surveyed. Applications for weighted discrete means, to Hölder inequality, Cauchy-Bunyakovsky-Schwarz inequality and for f-divergence measures in information theory are also given. Finally, applications for functions of selfadjoint operators in Hilbert spaces with some examples of interest are also provided.
