Drawing on the authors' research work from the last ten years, Mathematical Inequalities: A Perspective gives readers a different viewpoint of the field. It discusses the importance of various mathematical inequalities in contemporary mathematics and how these inequalities are used in different applications, such as scientific modeling.The authors

Necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a function involving the divided difference of the psi function to be completely monotonic and for a function involving the ratio of two gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic. From these, some double inequalities are derived for bounding polygamma functions, divided differences of polygamma functions, and the ratio of two gamma functions.
In the paper, the authors express the Fuss–Catalan numbers as several forms in terms of the Catalan–Qi function, find some analytic properties, including the monotonicity, logarithmic convexity, complete monotonicity, and minimality, of the Fuss–Catalan numbers, and derive a double inequality for bounding the Fuss–Catalan numbers.

In the paper, the authors introduce a unified generalization of the Catalan numbers, the Fuss numbers, the Fuss–Catalan numbers, and the Catalan–Qi function, and discover some properties of the unified generalization, including a product-ratio expression of the unified generalization in terms of the Catalan–Qi functions, three integral representations of the unified generalization, and the logarithmically complete monotonicity of the second order for a special case of the unified generalization.
