There are several possibilities to generalize binomial coefficients with aid of gamma functions. The author chooses \(d_n(r):= \Gamma(r+n)/(\Gamma(r)n!)\) and offers the inequality \[ d_n(r+s+t)\sum_{k=0}^n\Biggl|\sum_{j=0}^k a_j b_{k-j} \Biggr|^2 d_{n-k}(r)/d_k(s+t) \leq \] \[ \sum_{k=0}^n|a_k|^2d_{n-k}(r+t)/d_k(s)\sum_{k=0}^n|b_k|^2 d_{n-k} (r+s)/d_k(t) \] (\(a_k,b_k\) \((k=0,1,\dots,n)\) are complex numbers, \(\sum_{k=0}^n|a_k|>0, \sum_{k=0}^n|b_k|>0, r\geq 0, s>0, t>0\)), its equality cases, an equivalent inequality, and limiting and particular cases. Among the latter \[ d_n(r+s+t)d_k(s)d_j(t)d_{n-k-j}(r)\leq d_{j+k}(s+t)d_{n-j}(r+s)d_{n-k}(r+t) \] has a pleasing look.
