In this paper we, respectively, give simple proofs of some remarkable trigonometric inequalities, based on the Padé approximation method. We also obtain rational refinements of these inequalities. We are convinced that the Padé approximation method offers a general framework for solving many other similar inequalities.

The Padé approximation is a useful method for creating new inequalities and improving certain inequalities. In this paper we use the Padé approximant to give the refinements of some remarkable inequalities involving inverse trigonometric functions, it is shown that the new inequalities presented in this paper are more refined than that obtained in earlier papers.

The aim of our work is to give new sharp refinements of Shafer‐Fink’s inequality, using suitable changes of variables.

The study of even functions is important from the symmetry theory point of view because their graphs are symmetrical to the $Oy$ axis; therefore, it is essential to analyse the properties of even functions for x greater than 0. Since the functions involved in Wilker–Huygens-type inequalities are even, in our approach, we use cosine polynomials expansion method in order to provide new refinements of the above-mentioned inequalities.
