Schur-Convexity of Two Types of One-Parameter Mean Values in Variables
Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2007, Article number: 078175 (2007)
Abstract
We establish Schur-convexities of two types of one-parameter mean values in variables. As applications, Schur-convexities of some well-known functions involving the complete elementary symmetric functions are obtained.
