Mar 30, 2011 at 17:50 comment added ogn I play with this kind of inequality. I am wondering if the following inequality holds for some C depending only on k (always with the same assumptions on the sequences). \begin{align*} \sum_{i=1}^n & b_i(a_1p_1+ \ldots + a_ip_i+ (a_{i+1}+ \ldots + a_n)p_i)^k \\ ≤& C\sum_{i=1}^n a_i(a_1p_1+ \ldots + a_ip_i+(a_{i+1} +\ldots +a_n)p_i)^k \\ &+ C\sum_{i=1}^n b_i(b_1+…+b_ip_i+(b_{i+1}+…+b_n)p_i)^k \end{align*} I think that is true but the technique above does not give a proof.

Mar 21, 2011 at 18:35 comment added fedja Sure. Any decreasing positive real sequence is a linear combination of "elementary" sequences 1,0,0,0... ; 1,1,0,0...; 1,1,1,0,... etc. with positive coefficients like (4,2,1,0.5)=0.5(1,1,1,1)+0.5(1,1,1,0)+1(1,1,0,0)+2(1,0,0,0). So, if you want to show that $\sum_j q_j Q_j\ge 0$ for all decreasing positive sequences $q_j$, it suffices to check that all partial sums of $Q_j$ are non-negative.
Mar 21, 2011 at 17:59 comment added ogn Hello, I am slow so I don't understand why the first inequality is linear in $q_i$ so we just need to check the second inequality? Please explain.
