In this paper, we establish several inequalities for the the generalized linear distortion function λ（a, K） by using the monotonicity and convexity of certain combinations λ（a, K）.

We prove that the Gini mean values S（a,b; x,y） are Schur harmonic convex with respect to （x,y）∈（0,∞）×（0,∞） if and only if （a, b） ∈{（a, b）：a≥0,a ≥ b,a＋b＋1≥0}∪{（a,b）：b≥0,b≥a,a＋b＋1≥0} and Schur harmonic concave with respect to （x,y） ∈ （0,∞）×（0,∞） if and only if （a,b）∈{（a,b）：a≤0,b≤0,a｜b｜1≤0}.
The authors prove some monotonicity properties of functions involving the generalized Agard distortion function ηg（a,t）, and obtain some inequalities for ηk（a, t） and relative distortion functions.
