Problem

For positive numbers , , , such that , prove the inequality:
Solution
. Then: So the last inequality must be proved. As three points meant a cyclic permutation of variables. For simplification denote , , . Then we need to prove such inequality: this inequality supervenes from Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. There are used next denote: , . The last inequality equivalent , which are well known.
