### SCHUR-CONVEXITY OF THE GENERALIZED HERONIAN MEANS INVOLVING TWO POSITIVE NUMBERS

#### Abstract

In this paper, we give the sufficient as well as necessary condition of the Schur-convexity and Schur-harmonic-convexity of the generalized Heronian means with two positive numbers. Our main results provide the perfected versions of the results given in 2008 by Shi et al. [9].
