In mathematics, Maclaurin's inequality, named after Colin Maclaurin, is a refinement of the inequality of arithmetic and geometric means. Let ''a''1, ''a''2, ..., ''a''''n'' be positive real numbers, and for ''k'' = 1, 2, ..., ''n'' define the averages ''S''''k'' as follows: : Maclaurin's inequality is the following chain of inequalities: : with equality if and only if all the ''a''''i'' are equal. For ''n'' = 2, this gives the usual inequality of arithmetic and geometric means of two numbers. Maclaurin's inequality is well illustrated by the case ''n'' = 4: : Maclaurin's inequality can be proved using the Newton's inequalities. ==See also== * Newton's inequalities * Muirhead's inequality * Generalized mean inequality 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maclaurin's inequality」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
