Suppose that xk- a b -I where 0 a b and pk-0 for k 1 - n and suppose that -n 1pk 1. Let x _n 1pkxk and _2 -n 1pk xk_x 2. We show -n 1pkf xk _f x __1_2 -n 1pkf xk _f x __2_2 for suitably chosen _1 and _2. These results can be viewed as a refinement of the Jensen s inequality for the class of functions specified above. Or they can be viewed as a generalization of a refined arithmetic mean-geometric mean inequality introduced by Cartwright and Field in 1978. The strength of the above result is in bringing the variations of the xk s into consideration through _2. Copyright 2008 Ye Xia.

Main theorem The goal is to generalize the following refinement of the arithmetic mean-geometric mean inequality introduced in 1 . The result in this paper can also be viewed as a refinement of Jensen s inequality for a class of increasing and concave functions. Many other refinements can be found in 2 . Theorem see 1 .
