Introduction Let f x1 . xr and g x1 . xr be polynomial functions with nonnegative coefficients and nonnegative constant terms. Suppose that for all possible positive combinations of a1 through ar the following inequality chain holds mini ai 1 i ri f 1 . r. max I a 1 i r ai g a1 . aj ai In this paper we refer to such an elegant inequality chain as a part-metric-related PMR inequality chain because it is closely related to the well-known part-metric p which is defined on R r where R stands for the whole set of positive reals in this way for X x1 . xr T e R r Y y1 . yr T e R r p X Y - log2minj x 1 i r yi xi 2 Journal of Inequalities and Applications Below there are some known PMR inequality chains 1-3 min í a 1 i 4 a1 a2 a3a4 max í a 1 i 4 a a1a2 a3 a4 ai min I a 1 i 4 a1 ak 2 ak 1ak max I a 1 i 4 a a1 a2 a3 ak ai minia 1 1 i 4 A1 A2a2 AT 4 A4 maxia 1 1 i 4 ai B1a1a2 B2a3 B3a4 B4 ai where A1 A2 A3 A4 B1 B2 B3 B4 are positive numbers A1 A2 A3 A4 B1 B2 B3
