An inequality for correlated measurable functions

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2011-01-25 v2 Probability

Abstract

A classical inequality, which is known for families of monotone functions, is generalized to a larger class of families of measurable functions. Moreover we characterize all the families of functions for which the equality holds. We apply this result to a problem arising from probability theory.
