Let \(A(r,n)= {1\over n} \sum^n_{i=1} i^r\). In 1993 Alzer proved that \((A(r,n)/A(r,n+1))^{1/r}\geq n/(n+1)\). In 1995 the reviewer obtained a simple proof based on mathematical induction and Cauchy's mean value theorem. The authors offer a new proof based on induction and an auxiliary result which uses convex functions.
