Review text

Using the relation between logarithmic concavity and Schur-concavity, interesting inequalities can be obtained on the basis of which the present mathematical note obtains sufficient conditions for a probability distribution function to be logarithmically concave. Four examples of density functions and their corresponding log-concave distribution functions are provided. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0882.00013].
