          |  |  | Abstract: |  We present in this work a new and shorter proof of the generalized  -Newton inequalities for elementary symmetric functions defined on a self-conjugate set which lies essentially in the open right half-plane. We also point out some interesting consequences of the generalized  -Newton inequalities. In particular, we establish an improved complex version of the arithmetic mean-geometric mean inequality along with the corresponding determinant-trace inequality for positive stable matrices. |
