      The authors show that the inequalities of Radon \[ \sum \frac{x_i^{r+1}}{y_i^r}\geq \frac{\left(\sum x_i\right)^{r+1}}{\left(\sum y_i\right)^r},\qquad x_i,y_i>0, r>0, \] Bohr \[ \left|\sum z_i\right|^2\leq \sum a_i|z_i|^2, \qquad z_i\in \mathbb{C}, a_i>0, \sum 1/a_i=1, \] {and Shannon} \[ \sum p_i\log p_i\geq \sum p_i\log q_i,\qquad p_i,q_i>0,\sum p_i=\sum q_i=1, \] {are all of the form} \[ \sum p_i f\left(\frac{q_i}{p_i}\right)\leq 0, \qquad p_i,q_i>0,\sum p_i=\sum q_i=1 \] and give the necessary and sufficient condition for \(f\) to satisfy the last inequality. An interesting reading.
