On Relative Convex Sequences

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the concept of relative convex sequences and establish their fundamental properties, highlighting their similarities to those of convex sequences. Additionally, we prove new inequalities of the Lupas and Hermite-Hadamard-Fej\'er type for relative convex sequences. In certain cases, and as an application, we show how the concept of relative convexity can facilitate the derivation of new inequalities for convex sequences.
