β¦ Synopsis
The following trace inequality first proved by VON NEUMA" [6] has found repeated interest in the literature:
Theorem. Lel A , B be complex n x n mntriceu. Then (*I Itr ( W I 5 (44, a m ) where a(A) = (al, a, , . . ., a, ) denotes the ordered vector of singular values a1 2 u2 2 2 an of A and ( a , a ) the euclideun scalar product.
The importance of this result stems from the fact that it is used as an essential tool in SCHATTEN'S theory of cross-spaces and more recently in BALL'S treatment of the equations of nonlinear elasticity.

The existence and uniqueness of a weak solution of a Neumann problem is discussed for a second-order quasilinear elliptic equation in a divergence form. The note is a continuation of a recent paper, where mixed boundary value problems were considered, which guaranteed the coerciveness of the problem
A new proof is given of the nonuniform version of Fisher's inequality, first proved by Majumdar. The proof is ``elementary,'' in the sense of being purely combinatorial and not using ideas from linear algebra. However, no nonalgebraic proof of the n-dimensional analogue of this result (Theorem 3 her
