Abstract
In this paper, we consider generalizations of Opial’s inequality due to Willett, Godunova, Levin, and Rozanova. Cauchy-type mean-value theorems are proved and used in studying Stolarsky-type means defined by the obtained inequalities. Also, a method of producing n-exponentially convex and exponentially convex functions is applied.
