Improvement, generalizations and extensions of an integral inequality
Abstract
This article is based on an integral inequality inspired by the work of S. Barza and E. C. Popa in 1998, which in turn draws on the work of G. H. Hardy. This inequality provides a sharp lower bound for the integral of the square of the derivative of a function, provided that a condition that relates the value of the function at zero to the integral of the function itself is satisfied. Our contributions present an improved version of this result as well as a parametric generalization and two extensions that overcome the initial restrictions. We also introduce two new inequalities involving an additional function. All proofs utilize fundamental integral techniques, making the work accessible and providing a potential foundation for further research.
