Synopsis

This volume is dedieated to Professor Dragoslav S. Mitrinovic (1908-1995), one of the most accomplished masters in the domain of inequalities. Inequalities are everywhere and play an important and significant role in almost all subjects of mathematies including other areas of sciences. Professor Mitrinovic often used to say: "There are no equalities, even in the human life, the inequalities are always met". Inequalities present a very active and attractive field of research. As Richard Bellman has so elegantly said at the Second International Conference on General Inequalities (Oberwolfach, July 30 - August 5, 1978): "There are three reasons for the study of inequalities: praetieal, theoretieal, and aesthetie. " On the aesthetie aspects he said: "As has been pointed out, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. However, it is generally agreed that eertain pieees of musie, art, or mathematies are beautiful. There is an eleganee to inequalities that makes them very attraetive. " A great progress in inequalities was made by seven Oberwolfach conferences on inequalities with the corresponding seven volumes under the title General Inequal­ ities 1 - 7, published by Birkhäuser (1978, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1987, 1992, and 1997), as weIl as by several other international conferences dedieated to inequali­ ties. One of these conferences was held in 1987 at the University of Birmingham, England, under the auspices of the London Mathematical Society, and dedieated to the work of G. H. Hardy, J. E. Littlewood and G.

About this title

Synopsis

This volume is dedicated to the late Professor Dragoslav S. Mitrinovic(1908-1995), one of the most accomplished masters in the domain of inequalities. Inequalities are to be found everywhere and play an important and significant role in almost all subjects of mathematics as well as in other areas of sciences. Professor Mitrinovic used to say: 'There are no equalities, even in human life inequalities are always encountered.'This volume provides an extensive survey of the most current topics in almost all subjects in the field of inequalities, written by 85 outstanding scientists from twenty countries. Some of the papers were presented at the International Memorial Conference dedicated to Professor D.S. Mitrinovic, which was held at the University of Nis, June 20-22, 1996. This book will be of great interest to researchers in real, complex and functional analysis, special functions, approximation theory, numerical analysis and computation, and other fields, as well as to graduate students requiring the most up-to-date results.
