    Abstract:

Let $ x_{i}>0,i=1,2,dots ,n$, $ x=left( {x_{1},x_{2},dots ,x_{n}}right) $, the $ k$th elementary symmetric function of $ x$ is defined as $ P_{n}left( {x,k}right) =left( {{binom{n}{k}} ^{-1}E_{n}left( {x,k}right) }right) ^{frac{1}{k}}$, and the function $ f$ is defined as $ fleft( xright) =P_{n}left( {x,k-1}right) -P_{n}left( {x,k}right) $. The paper proves that $ f$ is a S-geometrically convex function. The result generalizes the well-known Maclaurin-Inequality.
