Applications of Weighted Arithmetic-Geometric Means Inequality to Functional Inequalities
Applications of Weighted Arithmetic-Geometric Means Inequality to Functional Inequalities
In this paper we prove the functional inequality $f(x)^{f(x)}\leq g(x)^{g(x)}$ for positive real functions $f$ and $g$ satisfying natural conditions and apply it to deriveinequalities between some of the elementary functions and to prove monotonocity of certain sequences of real numbers.
