Abstract

In this paper, we extend the classical Newton-Maclaurin inequalities to functions Sk;s(x)=Ek(x)+\dsumi=1s\aliEki(x)S_{k;s}(x)=E_k(x)+\dsum_{i=1}^s \al_i E_{k-i}(x), which are formed by linear combinations of multiple basic symmetric mean. We proved that when the coefficients \al1,\al2,,\als\al_1,\al_2,\cdots,\al_s satisfy the condition that the polynomial ts+\al1ts1+\al2ts2++\alst^s+\al_1 t^{s-1}+\al_2 t^{s-2}+\cdots+\al_s has only real roots, the Newton-Maclaurin type inequalities hold for Sk;s(x)S_{k;s}(x).
