Bound for Double Sum.
$begingroup$
For $i = 1,cdots,n$ and $k=1,cdots,m$, $a_{ij} > 0$ and $b_{ij} geq 0$. Do we have the following bound,
$$ sum_{i=1}^n sum_{j=1}^m a_{ij} b_{ij} leq Big( max_i sum_j a_{ij} Big) Big( max_j sum_i b_{ij} Big) ?$$
inequality summation

No. For $n=m=2$ and
$$
A = B =
begin{pmatrix}
1 & x \
x & 1
end{pmatrix}
quad
$$
the left-hand side is equal to $2 + 2x^2$, and the right-hand side is $(1+x)^2$, so that the estimate does not hold for small positive $x$.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Thank you! What if $a_{ij}$ is strictly positive.

You changed the question after I posted the answer. But you can simply replace $0$ by a small positive number.

Makes no difference, @jwyao. Obviously if $a_{12}$ and $a_{21}$ are small enough, like $0.001$, then the left-hand side will be close enough to $2$, and the right-hand side will be close enough to $1$, so that your inequality is still violated.

No, since $a_{ij}=b_{ij}=delta_{ij}+epsilon$ for small $epsilon>0$ is an obvious counterexample when $n=m$. (The LHS tends to $n$ while the RHS tends to $1$ as $epsilon to 0$.) To make your statement true, it should be
$$
sum_{i,j} a_{ij}b_{ij} le color{red}{sqrt{nm}} cdotmax_isum_j a_{ij} max_j sum_i b_{ij}.
$$
