In this paper, new refinements and improvements of Mitrinović–Cusa’s and related inequalities are presented. First, we give new polynomial bounds for sinc(x) and cos(x) functions using the interpolation and approximation method. Based on the obtained results of the above two functions, we establish new bounds for Mitrinović–Cusa’s, Wilker’s, Huygens’, Wu–Srivastava’s, and Neuman–Sándor’s inequalities. The analysis results show that our bounds are tighter than the previous methods.

A multiple-point Padé approximant method is presented for approximating and bounding some trigonometric functions in this paper. We give new refinements and improvements of some trigonometric inequalities including Jordan’s inequality, Kober’s inequality, and Becker-Stark’s inequality. The analysis results show that our conclusions are better than the previous conclusions.

In this paper, new refinements and improvements of Jordan’s and Kober’s inequalities are presented. We give new polynomial bounds for the s i n c ( x ) and cos ( x ) functions based on the interpolation and approximation method. The results show that our bounds are tighter than the previous methods.

The polynomial bounds of Jordan’s inequality, especially the cubic and quartic polynomial bounds, have been studied and improved in a lot of the literature; however, the linear and quadratic polynomial bounds can not be improved very much. In this paper, new refinements and improvements of Jordan’s inequality are given. We present new lower bounds and upper bounds for strengthened Jordan’s inequality using polynomials of degrees 1 and 2. Our bounds are tighter than the previous results of polynomials of degrees 1 and 2. More importantly, we give new improvements of Jordan’s inequality using polynomials of degree 5, which can achieve much tighter bounds than those previous methods.
