This article is about the algebraic inequality in 3 variables. For the integral inequality, see
Schur test.
In mathematics, Schur's inequality, named after Issai Schur,
establishes that for all non-negative real numbers
x, y, z, and t>0,

with equality if and only if x = y = z or two of them are equal and the other is zero. When t is an even positive integer, the inequality holds for all real numbers x, y and z.
When
, the following well-known special case can be derived:
