Key words Complete symmetric function, Schur multiplicative convexity, Schur harmonic convexity, theory of majorization MSC (2010) 26B25 This paper investigates the Schur multiplicative and harmonic convexities of the complete symmetric function Fn (x, r) = i 1 + i 2 + ···+ i n = r x i 1 1 x i 2 2 . . . x i n n and the function ϕn (x, r) = F n (x ,r ) F n (x ,r −1) , where i1 , i2 , . . . , in are nonnegative integers and r ≥ 1. As applications, some analytic inequalities are established by use of the theory of majorization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
