A note on Schur convexity for compositions of complete symmetric functions and new simple proofs
Abstract
In this work, by applying the properties of Schur-convex functions, Schur-geometrically convex functions and Schur-harmonically convex functions directly, we will provide more direct and simple proofs for compositions of complete symmetric functions.
