Abstract

Sharp bounds for the deviation of a real-valued function f defined on a compact interval [a, b] to the chord generated by its end points (a, f (a)) and (b, f (b)) under various assumptions for f and f' including absolute continuity, convexity, bounded variation, monotonicity etc., are given. Some applications for weighted means and f-divergence measures in Information Theory are also provided.
