Let
denote the arithmetic and geometric mean, respectively, of x1, . . ., xn, and let
denote the arithmetic and geometric mean, respectively, of 1 − x1, . . ., 1 − xn. Then the Ky Fan inequality can be written as
which shows the similarity to the inequality of arithmetic and geometric means given by Gn ≤ An.
