Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present connections between the Jensen and Hermite-Hadamard inequality.
The study includes convex functions of one and several variables. The basis of the research are convex
combinations with the common center.

Keywords

convex combination, convex function, simplex, Jensen’s inequality
