Abstract

This paper presents conditions on nonnegative real valued functions f1, f2,..., fm and g1, g2,... gm implying an inequality of the type {Mathematical expression} This "2m-function" theorem generalizes the "4-function" theorem of [2], which in turn generalizes a "2-function" theorem ([8]) and the celebrated FKG inequality. It also contains (and was partly inspired by) an "m against 2" inequality that was deduced in [5] from a general product theorem.
