Prove the inequality a 2 + b 2 c 2 + a + b + b 2 + c 2 a 2 + b + c + c 2 + a 2 b 2 + c + a 2
For every a , b , c > 0 such that a b c = 1 prove the inequality
My work so far:
a b c = 1 1 3 ( a + b + c ) 1 Then
c 2 + a + b c 2 + ( a + b ) 1 3 ( a + b + c )
Or more
( a 2 + b 2 c 2 + a + b + b 2 + c 2 a 2 + b + c + c 2 + a 2 b 2 + c + a ) ( ( c 2 + a + b ) + ( a 2 + b + c ) + ( b 2 + c + a ) )
( a 2 + b 2 + b 2 + c 2 + c 2 + a 2 ) 2

Let a = x 3 , b = y 3 and c = z 3 . Hence, by Muirhead
c y c a 2 + b 2 c 2 + a + b = c y c x 6 + y 6 z 6 + x y z ( x 3 + y 3 ) c y c x 6 + y 6 z 6 + z ( x 5 + y 5 ) = c y c ( x 7 y + x 7 z ) x y z ( x 5 + y 5 + z 5 ) 2

As we know:
2 a b a 2 + b 2
, and
3 a 1 3 = 3 ( a 2 b c ) 1 3 a 2 + b + c
(because of a b c = 1)
Now we have :
2 ( a b 3 c 1 / 3 + a c 3 b 1 / 3 + c b 3 a 1 / 3 )
Now using Cauchy we could prove our inequality.
