Ostrowski Type Inequalities and Applications in Numerical Integration

Integral inequalities involving functions with bounded derivatives, otherwise known as Ostrowski-type integral inequalities, have enjoyed a surge in popularity. This field has developed significantly yielding many new results and powerful applications in numerical integration, probability theory and stochastics, statistics, information theory and integral operator theory. The main aim of this work is to present a number of selected results on Ostrowski-type integral inequalities. Results for univariate and multivariate real functions and their natural applications in the error analysis of numerical quadratures for both simple and multiple integrals as well as for the Riemann-Stieltjes integral are given. Topics dealt with include generalizations of the Ostrowski inequality and its applications; integral inequalities for n-times differentiable mappings; three-point quadrature rules; product-branched Peano kernels and numerical integration; Ostrowski-type inequalities for multiple integrals; results for double integrals based on an Ostrowski-type inequality; product inequalities and weighted quadrature; and some inequalities for the Riemann-Stieltjes integral. This book is intended for researchers and graduate students working in the fields of integral inequalities, approximation theory, applied mathematics, probability theory and stochastics and numerical analysis.
