Abstrakt

Mulholland inequality is a real functional inequality presented in 1950 in a paper by Mulholland as a generalization of the Minkowski inequality. In his paper, Mulholland has also provided a sufficient condition for the inequality to be satisfied. However, until now, it has remained an open problem whether this sufficient condition is also necessary. This paper investigates a geometric interpretation of Mulholland inequality and offers a class of functions satisfying the inequality which is strictly larger compared to the class delimited by the Mulholland’s condition. Thus, it is proven that the condition is not necessary.
