We discuss the use of mixed determinant of special form D(A, n-i; I, i) for positive definite symmetric matrix A, in particular the operator concavity property of the map f : A ↦ D1/(n-i) (A, n-i; I, i)I together with unital positive linear map Φ : A ↦ A º I the Hadamard product of A with the identity matrix I, in deriving an inequality of the form Σ aj1 ... ajn-i ≥ Σ λj1 ... λjn-i, 0 ≤ i ≤ n - 1, where the sums are taken over all (n-i)-tuples of positive integers (j1, ..., jn-i) whose entries do not exceed n, with λjk and ajk, 1 ≤ k ≤ n from the set of all n positive eigenvalues of A and the set of main diagonal entries of A, respectively.
