Abstract
In this paper, we give a new proof of the Hermite–Hadamard inequality for 3-convex functions published by Bessenyei and Páles (Publ Math Debrecen 61(3–4): 623–643, 2002) and reproved by Wąsowicz (J Math Anal Appl 332(2): 1229–1241, 2007), which is still valid under weaker conditions. Some applications to estimate the new lower and upper bounds for the sinc and hyperbolic sinc functions are given. In particular, these bounds improve or refine many recent results proposed by mathematicians.
