An inequality for generalized means

Harry Wright McLaughlin and Frederic Thomas Metcalf

Vol. 22 (1967), No. 2, 303–311
Abstract

This paper is concerned with the behavior of certain combinations of generalized means of positive real numbers, considered as functions of the index set. It is shown that these combinations are actually superadditive functions (over set unions) of the index set. Several previously established inequalities of this nature are obtained as corollaries of the main theorem, namely, certain results of R. Rado, W. N. Everitt, D. S. Mitrinovič and P. M. Vasič, and H. Kestleman.
