3. Prove that for any real numbers 𝒂, 𝒃 and 𝒄 the following inequality holds:
𝟖 𝒂𝟐 − 𝒃𝒄 𝒃𝟐 − 𝒄𝒂 𝒄𝟐 − 𝒂𝒃 ≤ 𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 + 𝒄𝟐 𝟑
Proposed by Richdad Phuc-Vietnam
Solution by Leonard Giugiuc-Romania
𝒂𝟐 − 𝒃𝒄 𝒃𝟐 − 𝒄𝒂 𝒄𝟐 − 𝒂𝒃 = 𝒑 𝒂𝟑 + 𝒃𝟑 + 𝒄𝟑 − 𝒂𝟑 𝒃𝟑 + 𝒃𝟑 𝒄𝟑 + 𝒂𝟑 𝒄𝟑 ,
where 𝒑 = 𝒂𝒃𝒄.
But 𝒂𝟑 + 𝒃𝟑 + 𝒄𝟑 = 𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄 𝟑
− 𝟑 𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄 𝒂𝒃 + 𝒂𝒄 + 𝒃𝒄 + 𝟑𝒑 and
𝒂𝟑 𝒃𝟑 + 𝒃𝟑 𝒄𝟑 + 𝒂𝟑 𝒄𝟑 = 𝒂𝒃 + 𝒃𝒄 + 𝒄𝒂 𝟑
− 𝟑𝒑 𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄 𝒂𝒃 + 𝒂𝒄 + 𝒃𝒄 + 𝟑𝒑𝟐
Case 1: 𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄 = 𝟎 ⇒ 𝒂𝟑 + 𝒃𝟑 + 𝒄𝟑 = 𝟑𝒑 and
𝒂𝟑 𝒃𝟑 + 𝒃𝟑 𝒄𝟑 + 𝒂𝟑 𝒄𝟑 = 𝒂𝒃 + 𝒃𝒄 + 𝒄𝒂 𝟑
+ 𝟑𝒑𝟐 ⇒

www.ssmrmh.ro
⇒ 𝟖 𝒂𝟐 − 𝒃𝒄 𝒃𝟐 − 𝒄𝒂 𝒄𝟐 − 𝒂𝒃 = −𝟖 𝒂𝒃 + 𝒃𝒄 + 𝒄𝒂 𝟑 . But
𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 + 𝒄𝟐 = −𝟐 𝒂𝒃 + 𝒂𝒄 + 𝒃𝒄 ⇒ 𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 + 𝒄𝟐 𝟑
= −𝟖𝟗 𝒂𝒃 + 𝒃𝒄 + 𝒄𝒂 𝟑
So actually we’ve got the identity
𝟖 𝒂𝟐 − 𝒃𝒄 𝒃𝟐 − 𝒄𝒂 𝒄𝟐 − 𝒂𝒃 = 𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 + 𝒄𝟐 𝟑 , hence proved.
Case 2: 𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄 ≠ 𝟎. Assume WLOG
𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄 = 𝟑 ⇒ 𝒂𝒃 + 𝒃𝒄 + 𝒄𝒂 = 𝟑 𝟏 − 𝒕𝟐 , 𝒕 ≥ 𝟎. We get:
𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 + 𝒄𝟐 = 𝟑 𝟏 + 𝟐𝒕𝟐 , 𝒂𝟑 + 𝒃𝟑 + 𝒄𝟑 = 𝟑𝒑 𝟗𝒕𝟐 + 𝒑 and
𝒂𝟑 𝒃𝟑 + 𝒃𝟑 𝒄𝟑 + 𝒂𝟑 𝒄𝟑 = 𝟐𝟕 𝟏 − 𝒕𝟐 − 𝟐𝟕𝒑 𝟏 − 𝒕𝟐 + 𝟑𝒑𝟐 . Hence we need to
prove
𝟖 𝒕𝟐 − 𝟏 𝟑
+ 𝟖𝒑 ≤ 𝟏 + 𝟐𝒕𝟐 𝟑 . It’s well known that 𝒑 ≤ 𝟐𝒕𝟑 − 𝟑𝒕𝟐 + 𝟏. It’s
enough to show
𝟖 𝒕𝟐 − 𝟏 𝟑
+ 𝟖 𝟐𝒕𝟑 − 𝟑𝒕𝟐 + 𝟏 ≤ 𝟏 + 𝟐𝒕𝟐 𝟑
⇔
𝟑𝟔𝒕𝟒 − 𝟏𝟔𝒕𝟑 + 𝟔𝒕𝟐 + 𝟏 ≥ 𝟎 ⇔ 𝟐𝒕𝟐 𝟏𝟖𝒕𝟐 − 𝟖𝒕 + 𝟑 + 𝟏 ≥ 𝟎, which is clearly
true since
𝟐𝒕𝟐 𝟏𝟖𝒕𝟐 − 𝟖𝒕 + 𝟑 ≥ 𝟎 and 𝟏 > 𝟎.
Remark: From above, if 𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄 = 𝟎 we have equality and if 𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄 ≠ 𝟎
inequality is strict.

Sumando: 𝒂𝟒 + 𝒃𝟒 ≥ 𝒂𝒃 𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 → 𝒂𝟒 + 𝒃𝟒 − 𝒂𝒃 𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 ≥ 𝟎

For real numbers we have 𝐚 + 𝐛 + 𝐜 ≥ 𝐚 + 𝐛 + 𝐜 which implies
𝐚 + 𝐛 + 𝐜 𝐚+𝐛+𝐜

𝐚 + 𝐛 + 𝐜 +𝟏 𝐚+𝐛+𝐜 +𝟏
Hence we are required to prove the following for all non-negative real numbers
𝐱 = 𝐚 ,𝐲 = 𝐛 ,𝐳 = 𝐜

But from Cauchy – Schwarz on LHS we have

we are left to prove

𝐱+𝐲+𝐳 ≥ 𝟐 𝐱𝐲 + 𝐲𝐳 + 𝐳𝐱 ⇒ 𝐱 𝟐 + 𝐲 𝟐 + 𝐳 𝟐 ≥ 𝟎
which is obviously true. Equality at 𝐱 = 𝐲 = 𝐳 = 𝟎 or 𝐚 = 𝐛 = 𝐜 = 𝟎.

Now, for 𝒂, 𝒃, 𝒄 > 0

Let = 𝒂, = 𝒃, = 𝒄

∴ 𝒂𝒃𝒄 = 𝟏 with 𝒂, 𝒃, 𝒄 > 0

To prove, 𝟐 𝒂𝟑 + 𝒃𝟑 + 𝒄𝟑 + 𝟗 − 𝟑 𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 + 𝒄𝟐 + 𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄 > 0
Now define,
𝒇 𝒂, 𝒃, 𝒄 = 𝟐 𝒂𝟑 + 𝒃𝟑 + 𝒄𝟑 + 𝒛 − 𝟑 𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 + 𝒄𝟐 + 𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄
Evaluating first partial derivatives,
𝝏𝒇

𝝏𝒂
𝝏𝒇
= 𝟔𝒃𝟐 − 𝟔𝒃 − 𝟑 = 𝟎 (2)
𝝏𝒃
𝝏𝒇
= 𝟔𝒄𝟐 − 𝟔𝒄 − 𝟑 = 𝟎 (3)
𝝏𝒄
All of the equations are identical, thus we have same solution for 𝒂, 𝒃, 𝒄.
∴ 𝒂 = 𝒃 = 𝒄
Now to justify that 𝒂 = 𝒃 = 𝒄 is a minimum we consider the hessian matrix,

𝟎 𝟎 𝟐𝒄 − 𝟏
Now, from the solutions of (1), (2), (3) we know,
𝟐𝒂 − 𝟏 > 0, 2𝒃 − 𝟏 > 0, 2𝒄 − 𝟏 > 0
because we neglect the negative roots because 𝒂, 𝒃, 𝒄 > 0

Solution by Leonard Giugiuc – Romania
We’ll prove first that
𝒙𝟑 𝒚𝟑 + 𝒙𝒚𝒛 𝒙𝟑 + 𝒚𝟑 + 𝒛𝟑 ≥ 𝒙𝒚𝒛 𝒙𝒚 𝒙 + 𝒚 , ∀𝒙, 𝒚, 𝒛 > 0

Indeed, by AM-GM, 𝒙𝒚𝒛 𝒙𝟑 + 𝒚𝟑 + 𝒛𝟑 ≥ 𝟑𝒙𝟐 𝒚𝟐 𝒛𝟐 .

We apply Schur’s inequality for the positive numbers 𝒙𝒚, 𝒚𝒛 and 𝒛𝒙 and get
𝒙𝟑 𝒚𝟑 + 𝟑𝒙𝟐 𝒚𝟐 𝒛𝟐 ≥ 𝒙𝒚𝒛 𝒙𝒚 𝒙 + 𝒚
Hence proved.
From above, for all 𝒕 ∈ 𝟎, 𝟏 we have, for 𝒙 = 𝒕𝒂 , 𝒚 = 𝒕𝒃 and 𝒛 = 𝒕𝒄 , that

Take a function 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒙𝒙F𝟏 . We will Check the The maximum value of this

Now 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒙𝒙F𝟏 . So 𝒇• 𝒙 = 𝒙𝒙F𝟏 −

Now at maximum 𝒇• 𝒙 = 𝟎 then 𝒙𝒙F𝟏 − = 𝟎.
𝒙 𝒙7𝟏 𝒙7𝟏 𝟐
𝒙F𝟏 𝟏 𝟏

As 𝒙 > 1 then, = implies = 𝐥𝐧 𝒙, or 𝒆 𝒙 = 𝒙, or 𝒆𝟏7𝒙 = 𝒙 or, = 𝒆𝒙 ,
𝒙 𝒙7𝟏 𝒙 𝒙
𝟏
or 𝒆 = 𝒙𝒆𝒙 , this is only possible for 𝒙 = 𝟏 but since 𝒙 > 1 we can claim that the
𝒇• 𝒙 = 𝟎 when 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒙 → 𝟏.
Thus we need to find
𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇 𝒙 for the max value of 𝒇 within the domain 𝒙 ∈ 𝟏, 𝟐 ,
𝒙→𝟏

𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝐥𝐢𝐦
𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒙 𝒙7𝟏 =𝒆 𝒙→𝟏𝒙7𝟏 =𝒆 𝒙→𝟏𝒙 = 𝒆
𝒙→𝟏 𝒙→𝟏
Thus 𝒇 𝒙 < 3 ∀ 𝟐 ≥ 𝒙 > 1.

Now assume 𝒑, 𝒒, 𝒓 ∈ ℝ satisfying 𝒂𝒑 = 𝒂 + 𝟏,
𝒃𝒒 = 𝒃 + 𝟏 and 𝒄𝒓 = 𝒄 + 𝟏.
As 𝒂𝒑 > 𝑎 ∀ 𝒂 ∈ ℕ then 𝒑 > 1 likely 𝒒 > 1 and also 𝒓 > 1.
As, 𝒂, 𝒃, 𝒄 ∈ ℕ − 𝟏, 𝟐 then 𝒂𝟐 > 𝑎 + 1 = 𝒂𝒑 so 𝒑 < 2, likely for 𝒒 and 𝒓.
128

www.ssmrmh.ro
Thus we have, 𝟏 > 𝒑, 𝒒, 𝒓 < 2.

Since we know that 𝒂, 𝒃, 𝒄 ∈ ℕ − 𝟏, 𝟐 then 𝒂, 𝒃, 𝒄 ≥ 𝟑.
This implies 𝒂, 𝒃, 𝒄 > 𝑓 𝒙 ∀ 𝒙 ∈ 𝟏, 𝟐 as 𝒑, 𝒒, 𝒓 ∈ 𝟏, 𝟐 then 𝒂 > 𝑓 𝒑 or,

𝟐𝒙 + 𝟐𝒚 + 𝟐𝒛 + 𝟐𝒙.𝒚.𝒛 − 𝟐𝒙.𝒚 − 𝟐𝒚.𝒛 − 𝟐𝒛.𝒙 − 𝟏
= 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟏 𝟐𝒚 − 𝟏 𝟐𝒛 − 𝟏 > 0
⇒ 𝟐𝒙 + 𝟐𝒚 + 𝟐𝒛 + 𝟐𝒙.𝒚.𝒛 > 𝟐𝒙.𝒚 + 𝟐𝒚.𝒛 + 𝟐𝒛.𝒙 + 𝟏
