We present a new method to study analytic inequalities involving n variables. Regarding its applications, we proved some well-known inequalities and improved Carleman’s inequality.
1. Monotonicity Theorems Throughout this paper, we denote R the set of real numbers and R the set of strictly positive real numbers, n ∈ N, n ≥ 2. In this section, we present the main results of this paper. Theorem 1.1. Suppose that a, b ∈ R with a < b and c ∈ a, b, f : a, bn → R has continuous partial derivatives and c , Dm x1 , x2 , . . . , xn−1 , c | min {xk } ≥ c, xm max {xk } / 1≤k≤n−1

Proof. Without loss of generality, since we assume that n 3 and y1 > y2 > c. For x1 ∈ y2 , y1 , we clearly see that x1 , y2 , c ∈ D1 , then ∂fx > 0. ∂x1 xx1 ,y2 ,c
1.3
From the continuity of the partial derivatives of f and ∂fx > 0, ∂x1 xy2 ,y2 ,c
1.4
we know that there exists ε > 0 such that y2 − ε ≥ c and ∂fx > 0, ∂x1 xx1 ,y2 ,c
1.5
for any x1 ∈ y2 − ε, y2 . Hence, since f·, y2 , c : x1 ∈ y2 − ε, y1 → fx1 , y2 , c is strictly monotone increasing, then we have f y1 , y2 , c > f y2 , y2 , c > f y2 − ε, y2 , c .
1.6
Next, for x2 ∈ y2 − ε, y2 , then y2 − ε, x2 , c ∈ D2 and ∂fx > 0. ∂x2 xy2 −ε,x2 ,c
1.7
f y1 , y2 , c > f y2 , y2 , c > f y2 − ε, y2 , c > f y2 − ε, y2 − ε, c .
1.8
Hence, we get
If y2 − ε c, then Theorem 1.1 is true. Otherwise, we repeat the above process and we clearly see that the first and second variables in f are decreasing and no less than c. Let s, t be their limit values, respectively, then fy1 , y2 , c > fs, t, c and s, t ≥ c. If s c, t c, then Theorem 1.1 is also true; otherwise, we repeat the above process again and denote p and q the greatest lower bounds for the first and the second variables , respectively. We clearly see that p q c; therefore, fy1 , y2 , c > fc, c, c and Theorem 1.1 is true. Similarly, we have the following theorem.
