Abstract

This paper aims to present a new refinement of the Jensen inequality specifically for convex functions. Building on this refinement, the paper derives various related inequalities, with a particular focus on Bullen's inequality and Ostrowski's inequality. Furthermore, it explores practical applications of these derived inequalities in the context of mean inequalities, providing a deeper understanding and broader utility of these mathematical concepts.
