1. Introduction
In 1956, Aczél [1] discovered the Aczél’s inequality.
Theorem 1.
Let n be a positive integer and let
It is matter of common observation that Aczél’s inequality (1) is of great significance in the theory of functional equations in non-Euclidean geometry; meanwhile, many authors including Bellman [2], Hu et al.[3], Tian [4, 5], Tian and Ha [6], Tian and Sun [7], Tian and Wu [8], Tian and Wang [9], Tian and Zhou [10], Wu [11], and Wu and Debnath [12, 13] pay more attention to this inequality and its refinements.
In 1959, Popoviciu [14] gave a generalization of Aczél’s inequality, as follows.
Theorem 2.
Let
In 1979, Vasić and Pečarić [15] proved the following extension of inequality (2).
Theorem 3.
Let
Inequality (3) is known as Aczél- Vasić-Pečarić’s inequality.
In 2005, Wu and Debnath [13] generalized inequality (3) in the following form.
Theorem 4.
Let
Later, Wu in [11] established the Aczél-Vasić-Pečarić inequality (3).
Theorem 5.
Let
Moreover, in 2014 Tian [7] also presented an improvement of the Aczél-Vasić-Pečarić inequality (3).
Theorem 6.
Let
Recently, the power mean has attracted of many researcher ([16–24]), and many remarkable inequalities for the power mean including Hölder-type inequalities can be found in the literature [25–30]. The purpose of the article is to establish some distinctive versions of Aczél-Vasić-Pečarić’s inequality (3) for power mean type. As consequences, several integral inequalities of the obtained results are given.

Abstract
In this paper, we enrich and develop power-type Aczél-Vasić-Pečarić’s inequalities. First of all, we give some new versions of theorems and corollaries about Aczél-Vasić-Pečarić’s inequalities by quoting some lemmas. Moreover, in combination with Hölder’s inequality, we give some applications of the new version of Aczél-Vasić-Pečarić’s inequality and give its proof process.
