For x=(x1,...,xn)∈[0,1)n∪(1,+∞)n, the symmetric functions Fn(x,r) are defined by
Fn(x,r)=Fn(x1,x2,...,xn;r)=∑i1+i2+⋯+in=r()x11−x1i1()x21−x2i2⋯()xn1−xnin,where r=1,2,...,n,..., and i1,i2,...,in are non‐negative integers. In this paper, the Schur convexity, geometric Schur convexity and harmonic Schur convexity of Fn(x,r) are investigated. As applications, Schur convexity for the other symmetric functions is obtained by a bijective transformation of independent variable for a Schur convex function, some analytic and geometric inequalities are established by using the theory of majorization, in particular, we derive from our results a generalization of Sharpiro's inequality, and give a new generalization of Safta's conjecture in the n‐dimensional space and others.
