## On the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.(English)Zbl 0933.26010

The author proves that the inequality $\left( \sum _{k=1}^{n}x_{k}\cdot y_{k}\right)^{2} \leq\sum _{k=1}^{n} y_{k} \cdot \sum _{k=1} ^{n} \left( \alpha + \frac{\beta}{k} \right) \cdot x_{k}^2 \cdot y_k$ holds for all positive sequences $$(y_{k})_{k=1}^{n}$$ and all positive starshaped sequences $$(x_{k})_{k=1}^{n}$$ (as where named in reviewer’s paper [Math., Rev. Anal. Numér. Théor. Approximation, Anal. Numér. Théor. Approximation 12, 187-192 (1983; Zbl 0528.26005)] the sequences with the property $$0 < x_{1} \leq x_{2}/2 \leq \cdots \leq x_{n} /n$$) if and only if $$\alpha \geq 3/4$$ and $$\beta \geq 1- \alpha$$. This result improves some inequalities given by Z. Liu [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 218, No. 1, 13-21 (1998; Zbl 0891.26011)]and the author [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 168, No. 2, 596-604 (1992; Zbl 0763.26012)].
Reviewer’s remark. Lemma 1, used in all these papers, was proven by the reviewer in the above mentioned paper.
