Some inequalities of the Slater type for convex functions defined on general linear spaces are given. Applications for norm inequalities andf -divergence measures are also provided. 1. Introduction ◦ Suppose that I is an interval of real numbers with interior I, and f : I → R is a convex ◦ function on I . Then f is continuous on I and has finite left and right derivatives at each point ◦ ◦ of I. Moreover, if x, y ∈ I and x y, then f x ≤ f x ≤ f y ≤ f y which shows that − − ◦ both f and f are nondecreasing functions on I. It is also known that a convex function must − be differentiable excep
