Abstract

We prove that the dual form of the Hamy symmetric function $$ H_n(x, r)=H_n(x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n; r)=\prod_{1\leq i_1<\cdots<i_r\leq n}\biggl(\sum_{j=1}^{r}x_{i_j}^{\frac{1}{r}}\biggr) $$ is Schur harmonic convex in $\R_+^n$. As applications, some inequalities are established by use of the theory of majorization.
