Extract

In (2) a simple proof was given of the following inequality of Atkinson, Watterson and Moran (l), a slight generalization of a result of Scheuer and Mandel ((4), see also (3)) which is of importance in genetics. If aij, pi, qj (i, j = 1, 2, 3,…) are non-negative numbers with

and if

then

and if then This result is shown in (2) to be a special case of a large class of inequalities involving sets of non-negative numbers depending on several indices, and ‘partial averages’ over subsets of those indices.
