We give a combinatorial extension of the classical inequalities of Maclaurin about symmetric functions of several variables. We discuss two problems - one analytical and another combinatorial - and show that they are in some sense equaivalent. These results complete and extend earlier results of Motzkin and Straus, Khadzhiivanov, Sos and Straus, Fisher and Ryan, and Petingi and Rodriguez.

In this paper, we establish Newton-Maclaurin type inequalities for functions arising from linear combinations of primitively symmetric polynomials. This generalization extends the classical Newton-Maclaurin inequality to a broader class of functions.

En esta serie de tres articulos, damos una exposicion de varios resultados y problemas abiertos en tres areas de la combinatoria algebraica y geometrica: las matrices totalmente no negativas, las representaciones del grupo simetrico, y los arreglos de hiperplanos. Esta primera parte presenta una introduccion a las matrices totalmente no negativas, y su relacion con las funciones simetricas.

In this paper we solve combinatorial and algebraic problems associated with a multivariate identity first considered by S. Sherman wich he called an analog to the Witt identity. We extend previous results obtained for the univariante case.

The classical theory of symmetric functions has a central position in algebraic combinatorics, bridging aspects of representation theory, combinatorics, and enumerative geometry. More recently, this theory has been fruitfully extended to the larger ring of quasisymmetric functions, with corresponding applications. Here, we survey recent work extending this theory further to general asymmetric polynomials.

In this paper, we prove Newton-Maclaurin type inequalities for functions obtained by linear combination of two neighboring primary symmetry functions, which is a generalization of the classical Newton-Maclaurin inequality.

We study a variant of the majorization relation. In particular we consider inequalities involving some Schur-concave symmetric polynomials related to the multinomial expansion. We also discuss how these topics were motivated by conjectures on sharp Lp inequalities between complex exponential sums conjectured by Hardy and Littlewood (still open problems), and why the usual majorization relation does not hold in that context.

This is an expanded version of the Notices of the AMS column with the same title. The text is unchanged, but we added acknowledgements and a large number of endnotes which provide the context and the references.
