The authors offer several technical generalizations of well-known inequalities. A typical (and relatively simple) result is the following. Let \(a,b,a_k,b_k\) \((k=1,\dots,n)\) be nonnegative reals, \(p>1,\) and \(\sum_{k=1}^n p_k a_k^p\leq a^p\), \(\sum_{k=1}^n p_k b_k^p\leq b^p.\) Then \[ 0\leq \Biggl[ \biggl( \sum_{k=1}^n p_k a_k^p\biggr)^{1/p} +\biggl(\sum_{k=1}^n p_k b_k^p \biggr)^{1/p} \Biggr]^p \] \[ \leq (a+b)^p-\sum_{k=1}^n p_k (a_k +b_k)^p - \Biggl[ \biggl(a^p -\sum_{k=1}^n p_k a_k^p \biggr)^{1/p} +\biggl(b^p -\sum_{k=1}^n p_k b_k^p \biggr)^{1/p} \Biggr]^p. \]
