✦ Synopsis
Given a finite boolean lattice L and four functions tr, fl, y, 6 of L to the nonnegative reals with oc(x)fl(y) <~ y(x v y)6(x A y) for all x, y e L. We show that
Here x' denotes the complement of x and X v X' stands for {Xl v x~ I xl, x2 e X). This inequality turns out to be equivalent in a certain sense to the Ahlswede-Daykin inequality. We also apply our basic ideas to a special case of a conjecture of Fiirstenberg.

Consider two set systems A and B in the powerset P(n) with the property that for each A # A there exists a unique B # B such that A/B. Ahlswede and Cai proved an inequality about such systems which is a generalization of the LYM and Bolloba s inequalities. In this paper we characterize the structure
Using only the elementary properties of lattice-ordered groups, we give a simple w x proof of the inequality of Maligranda and Orlicz 2 in full generality.

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
