In two papers [3] and [4], the author has extended the inequality of Schur (Theorem 319 of [2]) to cases involving kernels which satisfy identities of the form
The purpose of this paper is to prove a general inequality, which includes the above and also the inequality of Young (Theorem 281 of [2]) as special cases. We shall give the results a general setting by considering functions defined on abstract measure spaces. From this we shall deduce an extension to n dimensions of the results given in [3], which also generalises a similar extension of the Schur inequality given by Stein and Weiss. In fact some cases of the other results given in [5] will follow directly from our theorem.
