Let R, r, s represent respectively the circumradius, the inradius and the semiperimeter of a triangle with sides a, b, c. Let f(R, r) and F(R, r) be homogeneous real functions. Let q(R, r) and Q(R, r) be real quadratic forms. The latter functions are thus a special case of the former. Our main result is to derive the strongest possible inequalities of the form
