    Abstract:

In this paper, we establish the following: Let $ a_{1},a_{2},ldots ,a_{m}$ be non negative real numbers, then for all $ ngeq 0,$ we have

$displaystyle frac{1}{inom{n+m-1}{m-1}}sum_{i_{1}+i_{2}+cdots +i_{m}=n}a_{... ...cdots a_{m}^{i_{m}}geq left( frac{a_{1}+a_{2}+cdots +a_{m}}{m}ight)^{n}.$
The case $ m=2$ gives the Haber inequality. We apply the result to find lower bounds for the sum of reciprocals of multinomial coefficients and for symmetric functions.
