Hermite–Hadamard inequality is a double inequality that provides an upper and lower bounds of the mean (integral) of a convex function over a certain interval. Moreover, the convexity of a function can be characterized by each of the two sides of this inequality. On the other hand, it is well known that a twice differentiable function is convex, if and only if it admits a nonnegative second-order derivative. In this paper, we obtain a characterization of a class of twice differentiable functions (including the class of convex functions) satisfying second-order differential inequalities. Some special cases are also discussed.
