On an inequality for nondecreasing sequences (Q1209542)

As a counterpart of \textit{A. Meir}'s result [Rocky Mt. J. Math. 11, 577- 579 (1981; Zbl 0482.26007)], the author proves that if \(0=a_ 0\leq a_ 1\leq\cdots\leq a_ n\) and \(0\leq p_ n\leq p_{n-1}\leq\cdots\leq p_ 0\) are two sequences satisfying \(a_ i-a_{i-1}\geq(p_ i+p_{i-1})/2\) \((i=\overline{1,n})\) and if \(0\leq r\leq 1\) and \(r\leq s\leq 2r+1\), then \[ \left((r+1)\sum^ n_{i=1}p_ ia^ r_ i\right)^{1/(r+1)}\leq\left((s+1)\sum^ n_{i=1}p_ ia^ s_ i\right)^{1/(s+1)}. \]
