Combinatorial extensions of Popoviciu\u27s inequality via Abel-Gontscharoff polynomial with applications in information theory

We establish new refinements and improvements of Popoviciu’s inequality for n-convex functions using Abel-Gontscharoff interpolating polynomial along with the aid of new Green functions. We construct new inequalities for n-convex functions and compute new upper bounds for Ostrowski and Grüss type inequalities. As an application of our work in information theory, we give new estimations for Shannon, Relative and Zipf-Mandelbrot entropies using generalized Popoviciu’s inequality
