Abstract
In this paper we introduce the mapping vx,y connected with the lower and upper semiinner products (⋅,⋅)i and (⋅,⋅)s , and study its monotonicity, boundedness, convexity and other properties. Applications to theory of inequalities in analysis are given including refinements of the Schwarz inequality.
