Abstract
In this paper, we utilize some known Steffensen-type identities, obtained by using Lidstone’s interpolating polynomial, to prove new generalizations of Steffensen’s inequality. We obtain these new generalizations by using the weighted Hermite-Hadamard inequality for \((2n+2)-\)convex and \((2n+3)-\)convex functions. Further, the newly obtained inequalities can be observed as an upper- and lower-bound for utilized Steffensen-type identities.
