Consider the identitywhere aj, …, am are positive real numbers. Then for r = 1, 2, 3, … Tr =Tr(a1, …, am) is called the rth complete symmetric function in a1, …, am (T0=l).

In (l) Hunter proved that the complete symmetric functions of even order are positive definite by obtaining the inequalitywhere ht denotes the complete symmetric function of order t. In this note we show that the inequality can be strengthened, which, in turn, enables theorem 2 of (l) to be sharpened. We also obtain a special case of an inequality conjectured by McLeod(2).

Let K be a bounded, open convex set in euclidean n-space Rn, symmetric in the origin 0. Further let L be a lattice in Rn containing 0 and put extended over all positive real numbers ui for which uiK contains i linearly independent points of L. Denote the Jordan content of K by V(K) and the determinant of L by d(L). Minkowski's second inequality in the geometry of numbers states that Minkowski's original proof has been simplified by Weyl [6] and Cassels [7] and a different proof hasbeen given by Davenport [1].

Let be the Hurwitz zeta function. Furthermore, let p > 1 and α ≠ 0 be real numbers and n ≥ 2 be an integer. We determine the best possible constants a(p, α, n), A(p, α, n), b(p, n) and B(p, n) such that the inequalities and hold for all positive real numbers x1,…,xn.

A new identity involving a geometrically symmetric function and a differentiable function is established. Some new Fejér type integral inequalities, connected with the left part of Hermite–Hadamard type inequalities for geometrically-arithmetically convex functions, are presented by using the Hölder integral inequality and the notion of geometrically-arithmetically convexity. Applications of our results to special means of positive real numbers are given.

In this paper, the notion of geometrically symmetric functions is introduced. A new identity involving geometrically symmetric functions is established, and by using the obtained identity, the H?lder integral inequality and the notion of geometrically-arithmetically convexity, some new Fej?r type integral inequalities are presented. Applications of our results to special means of positive real numbers are given as well.

Suppose that (an) (n ≥ 0) is a square-summable sequence of strictly positive real numbers; then the integral operator T on L2(− 1,1) given byis compact and positive and, therefore, its eigenvalues can be arranged into a sequence λ0 ≥ λ1 ≥ λ2 ≥ … of non-negative real numbers which decreases to 0.

Consider the first-order retarded differential equation $$\begin{eqnarray}x^{\prime }(t)+p(t)x({\it\tau}(t))=0,\quad t\geqslant t_{0},\end{eqnarray}$$ where $p(t)\geqslant 0$ and ${\it\tau}(t)$ is a function of positive real numbers such that ${\it\tau}(t)\leqslant t$ for $t\geqslant t_{0}$, and $\lim _{t\rightarrow \infty }{\it\tau}(t)=\infty$. Under the assumption that the retarded argument is non-monotone, a new oscillation criterion, involving $\liminf$, is established when the well-known oscillation condition $$\begin{eqnarray}\liminf _{t\rightarrow \infty }\int _{{\it\tau}(t)}^{t}p(s)\,ds>\frac{1}{e}\end{eqnarray}$$ is not satisfied. An example illustrating the result is also given.

In this paper we examine the structure of certain linear transformations T on the algebra of w-square matrices Mn into itself. In particular if A ∈ Mn let Er(A) be the rth elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues of A. Our main result states that if 4 ≤ r ≤ n — 1 and Er(T(A)) = Er(A) for A ∈ Mn then T is essentially (modulo taking the transpose and multiplying by a constant) a similarity transformation:No such result as this is true for r = 1,2 and we shall exhibit certain classes of counterexamples. These counterexamples fail to work for r = 3 and the structure of those T such that E3(T(A)) = E3(A) for all ∈ Mn is unknown to us.
