\begin{document} \title{A Brief Introduction to Olympiad Inequalities} \author{Evan Chen} \date{April 30, 2014} \maketitle

\begin{abstract} The goal of this document is to provide a easier introduction to olympiad inequalities than the standard exposition \emph{Olympiad Inequalities}, by Thomas Mildorf. I was motivated to write it by feeling guilty for getting free $7$'s on problems by simply regurgitating a few tricks I happened to know, while other students were unable to solve the problem.

\textbf{Warning}: These are notes, not a full handout.
Lots of the exposition is very minimal, and many things are left to the reader.

\end{abstract}

In a problem with $n$ variables, these respectively mean to cycle through the $n$ variables, and to go through all $n!$ permutations. To provide an example, in a three-variable problem we might write \begin{align} \sum_{\text{cyc}} a^2 &= a^2+b^2+c^2 \ \sum_{\text{cyc}} a^2b &= a^2b+b^2c+c^2a \ \sum_{\text{sym}} a^2 &= a^2+a^2+b^2+b^2+c^2+c^2 \ \sum_{\text{sym}} a^2b &= a^2b+a^2c+b^2c+b^2a+c^2a+c^2b. \end{align}

\section{Polynomial Inequalities} \subsection{AM-GM and Muirhead} Consider the following theorem. \begin{theorem} [AM-GM] For nonnegative reals $a_1$, $a_2$, \dots, $a_n$ we have [ \frac{a_1 + a_2 + \dots + a_n}{n} \ge \sqrt[n]{a_1 \dots a_n}. ] Equality holds if and only if $a_1 = a_2 = \dots = a_n$. \end{theorem} For example, this implies [ a^2+b^2 \ge 2ab, \quad a^3+b^3+c^3 \ge 3abc. ]

Adding such inequalities can give us some basic propositions. \begin{example} Prove that $a^2+b^2+c^2 \ge ab+bc+ca$ and $a^4+b^4+c^4 \ge a^2bc+b^2ca+c^2ab$. \end{example} \begin{proof} By AM-GM, [ \frac{a^2+b^2}{2} \ge ab \text{ and } \frac{2a^4+b^4+c^4}{4} \ge a^2bc. ] Similarly, [ \frac{b^2+c^2}{2} \ge bc \text{ and } \frac{2b^4+c^4+a^4}{4} \ge b^2ca. ] [ \frac{c^2+a^2}{2} \ge ca \text{ and } \frac{2c^4+a^4+b^4}{4} \ge c^2ab. ] Summing the above statements gives [ a^2+b^2+c^2 \ge ab+bc+ca \text{ and } a^4+b^4+c^4 \ge a^2bc+b^2ca+c^2ab. \qedhere ] \end{proof} \begin{exercise} Prove that $a^3+b^3+c^3 \ge a^2b+b^2c+c^2a$. \end{exercise} \begin{exercise} Prove that $a^5+b^5+c^5 \ge a^3bc + b^3ca + c^3ab \ge abc(ab+bc+ca)$. \end{exercise} The fundamental intuition is being able to decide which symmetric polynomials of a given degree are bigger. For example, for degree $3$, the polynomial $a^3+b^3+c^3$ is biggest and $abc$ is the smallest. Roughly, the more ``mixed'' polynomials are the smaller. From this, for example, one can immediately see that the inequality [ (a+b+c)^3 \ge a^3+b^3+c^3+24abc ] must be true, since upon expanding the LHS and cancelling $a^3+b^3+c^3$, we find that the RHS contains only the piddling term $24abc$. That means a straight AM-GM will suffice.

A useful formalization of this is Muirhead's Inequality. Suppose we have two sequences $x_1 \ge x_2 \ge \dots \ge x_n$ and $y_1 \ge y_2 \ge \dots \ge y_n$ such that [ x_1 + x_2 + \dots + x_n = y_1 + y_2 + \dots + y_n, ] and for $k=1,2,\dots,n-1$ [ x_1 + x_2 + \dots + x_k \ge y_1 + y_2 + \dots + y_k, ] Then we say that $(x_n)$ \emph{majorizes} $(y_n)$, written $(x_n) \succ (y_n)$.

Using the above, we have the following theorem. \begin{theorem} [Muirhead's Inequality] If$a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$ are positive reals, and $(x_n)$ majorizes $(y_n)$ then we have the inequality. [ \sum_{\text{sym}} a_1^{x_1} a_2^{x_2} \dots a_n^{x_n} \ge \sum_{\text{sym}} a_1^{y_1} a_2^{y_2} \dots a_n^{y_n}. ] \end{theorem} \begin{example} Since $(5,0,0) \succ (3,1,1) \succ (2,2,1)$, \begin{align} a^5+a^5+b^5+b^5+c^5+c^5 &\ge a^3bc+a^3bc+b^3ca+b^3ca+c^3ab+c^3ab \ &\ge a^2b^2c+a^2b^2c + b^2c^2a+b^2c^2a + c^2a^2b + c^2a^2b. \end{align} From this we derive $a^5+b^5+c^5 \ge a^3bc+b^3ca+c^3ab \ge abc(ab+bc+ca)$. \end{example} Notice that Muirhead is \emph{symmetric}, not \emph{cyclic}. For example, even though $(3,0,0) \succ (2,1,0)$, Muirhead's inequality only gives that [ 2(a^3+b^3+c^3) \ge a^2b+a^2c+b^2c+b^2a+c^2a+c^2b ] and in particular this does \emph{not} imply that $a^3+b^3+c^3 \ge a^2b+b^2c+c^2a$. These situations must still be resolved by AM-GM.

\subsection{Non-homogeneous inequalities} Consider the following example. \begin{example} Prove that if $abc=1$ then $a^2+b^2+c^2 \ge a+b+c$. \end{example} \begin{proof} AM-GM alone is hopeless here, because whenever we apply AM-GM, the left and right hand sides of the inequality all have the same degree. So we want to use the condition $abc=1$ to force the problem to have the same degree. The trick is to notice that the given inequality can be rewritten as [ a^2+b^2+c^2 \ge a^{1/3}b^{1/3}c^{1/3} \left( a+b+c \right). ] Now the inequality is homogeneous. Observe that if we multiply $a$, $b$, $c$ by any real number $k > 0$, all that happens is that both sides of the inequality are multiplied by $k^2$, which doesn't change anything. That means the condition $abc = 1$ can be ignored now. Since $(2,0,0) \succ (\frac 43, \frac 13, \frac 13)$, applying Muirhead's Inequality solves the problem. \end{proof}

The importance of this problem is that it shows us how to eliminate a given condition by homogenizing the inequality; this is very important. (In fact, we will soon see that we can use this in reverse -- we can impose an arbitrary condition on a homogeneous inequality.)

\subsection{Practice Problems} \begin{enumerate} \ii $a^7+b^7+c^7 \ge a^4b^3+b^4c^3+c^4a^3$. \ii If $a+b+c=1$, then $\frac1a + \frac 1b + \frac 1c \le 3 + 2 \cdot \frac{(a^3+b^3+c^3)}{abc}$. \ii $\frac{a^3}{bc} + \frac{b^3}{ca} + \frac{c^3}{ab} \ge a+b+c$. \ii If $\frac1a + \frac1b + \frac 1c =1$, then $(a+1)(b+1)(c+1) \ge 64$. \ii (USA 2011) If $a^2+b^2+c^2+(a+b+c)^2 \le 4$, then [ \frac{ab+1}{(a+b)^2} + \frac{bc+1}{(b+c)^2} + \frac{ca+1}{(c+a)^2} \ge 3. ] \ii If $abcd=1$, then $a^4b+b^4c+c^4d+d^4a \ge a+b+c+d$. \end{enumerate}

\section{Inequalities in Arbitrary Functions} Let $f : (u,v) \to \RR$ be a function and let $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n \in (u,v)$. Suppose that we fix $\frac{a_1+a_2 + \dots + a_n}{n} = a$ (if the inequality is homogeneous, we will often insert such a condition) and we want to prove that [ f(a_1) + f(a_2) + \dots + f(a_n) ] is at least (or at most) $nf(a)$. In this section we will provide three methods for doing so.

We say that function $f$ is \emph{convex} if $f''(x) \ge 0$ for all $x$; we say it is \emph{concave} if $f''(x) \le 0$ for all $x$. Note that $f$ is convex if and only if $-f$ is concave.

\subsection{Jensen / Karamata} \begin{theorem} [Jensen's Inequality] If $f$ is convex, then [ \frac{f(a_1) + \dots + f(a_n)}{n} \ge f\left( \frac{a_1+\dots+a_n}{n} \right). ] The reverse inequality holds when $f$ is concave. \end{theorem} \begin{theorem} [Karamata's Inequality] If $f$ is convex, and $(x_n)$ majorizes $(y_n)$ then [ f(x_1) + \dots + f(x_n) \ge f(y_1) + \dots + f(y_n). ] The reverse inequality holds when $f$ is concave. \end{theorem} \begin{example} [Shortlist 2009] Given $a+b+c=\frac1a+\frac1b+\frac1c$, prove that [ \frac{1}{(2a+b+c)^2}+\frac{1}{(a+2b+c)^2}+\frac{1}{(a+b+2c)^2}\leq\frac{3}{16}. ] \end{example} \begin{proof} First, we want to eliminate the condition. The original problem is equivalent to [ \frac{1}{(2a+b+c)^2}+\frac{1}{(a+2b+c)^2}+\frac{1}{(a+b+2c)^2}\leq\frac{3}{16} \cdot \frac{\frac1a+\frac1b+\frac1c}{a+b+c}. ] Now the inequality is homogeneous, so we can assume that $a+b+c=3$. Now our original problem can be rewritten as [ \sum_{\text{cyc}} \frac{1}{16a} - \frac{1}{(a+3)^2} \ge 0. ] Set $f(x) = \frac{1}{16x} - \frac{1}{(x+3)^2}$. We can check that $f$ over $(0,3)$ is convex so Jensen completes the problem. \end{proof} \begin{example} Prove that [ \frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}\geq2\left(\frac{1}{a+b}+\frac{1}{b+c}+\frac{1}{c+a}\right)\geq\frac{9}{a+b+c}. ] \end{example} \begin{proof} The problem is equivalent to [ \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} \ge \frac{1}{\frac{a+b}{2}} + \frac{1}{\frac{b+c}{2}} + \frac{1}{\frac{c+a}{2}} \ge \frac{1}{\frac{a+b+c}{3}} + \frac{1}{\frac{a+b+c}{3}} + \frac{1}{\frac{a+b+c}{3}}. ] Assume WLOG that $a \ge b \ge c$. Let $f(x) = 1/x$. Since [ (a,b,c) \succ \left( \frac{a+b}{2}, \frac{a+c}{2}, \frac{b+c}{2} \right) \succ \left( \frac{a+b+c}{3}, \frac{a+b+c}{3}, \frac{a+b+c}{3} \right) ] the conclusion follows by Karamata. \end{proof} \begin{example} [APMO 1996] If $a$, $b$, $c$ are the three sides of a triangle, prove that [ \sqrt{a+b-c}+\sqrt{b+c-a}+\sqrt{c+a-b}\leq\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}+\sqrt{c}. ] \end{example} \begin{proof} Again assume WLOG that $a \ge b \ge c$ and notice that $(a+b-c,c+a-b,b+c-a) \succ (a,b,c)$. Apply Karamata on $f(x) = \sqrt x$. \end{proof}

\subsection{Tangent Line Trick} Again fix $a = \frac{a_1 + \dots + a_n}{n}$. If $f$ is not convex, we can sometimes still prove the inequality [ f(x) \ge f(a) + f'(a) \left( x-a \right). ] If this inequality manages to hold for all $x$, then simply summing the inequality will give us the desired conclusion. This method is called the \emph{tangent line trick}.

\begin{example} [David Stoner] If $a+b+c=3$, prove that [ 18\sum_{\text{cyc}}\frac{1}{(3-c)(4-c)}+2(ab+bc+ca)\ge 15. ] \end{example} \begin{proof} We can rewrite the given inequality as [ \sum_{\text{cyc}} \left( \frac{18}{(3-c)(4-c)} - c^2 \right) \ge 6. ] Using the tangent line trick lets us obtain the magical inequality [ \frac{18}{(3-c)(4-c)} -c^2 \ge \frac{c+3}{2}\iff c(c-1)^2(2c-9)\le 0 ] and the conclusion follows by summing. \end{proof} \begin{example} [Japan] Prove $\sum_{\text{cyc}} \frac{(b+c-a)^2}{a^2+(b+c)^2} \ge \frac 35$. \end{example} \begin{proof} Since the inequality is homogeneous, we may assume WLOG that $a+b+c=3$. So the inequality we wish to prove is [ \sum_{\text{cyc}} \frac{(3-2a)^2}{a^2+(3-a)^2} \ge \frac 35. ] With some computation, the tangent line trick gives away the magical inequality: [
\frac{(3-2a)^{2}}{(3-a)^{2}+a^{2}}\ge\frac{1}{5} - \frac{18}{25}(a-1) \iff \frac{18}{25}(a-1)^{2}\frac{2a+1}{2a^{2}-6a+9} \ge 0. \qedhere ] \end{proof}

\subsection{$n-1$ EV} The last such technique is $n-1$ EV. This is a brute force method involving much calculus, but it is nonetheless a useful weapon. \begin{theorem} [$n-1$ EV] Let $a_1$, $a_2$, \dots, $a_n$ be real numbers, and suppose $a_1 + a_2 + \dots + a_n$ is fixed. Let $f : \RR \to \RR$ be a function with exactly one inflection point. If [ f(a_1) + f(a_2) + \dots + f(a_n) ] achieves a maximal or minimal value, then $n-1$ of the $a_i$ are equal to each other. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} See page 15 of \emph{Olympiad Inequalities}, by Thomas Mildorf. The main idea is to use Karamata to ``push'' the $a_i$ together. \end{proof}

\begin{example} [IMO 2001 / APMOC 2014] Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be positive reals. Prove $ 1 \le \sum_{\text{cyc}} \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2+8bc}} < 2 $. \end{example} \begin{proof} Set $e^x = \frac{bc}{a^2}$, $e^y = \frac{ca}{b^2}$, $e^z = \frac{ab}{c^2}$. We have the condition $x+y+z=0$ and want to prove [ 1 \le f(x) + f(y) + f(z) < 2 ] where $f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+8e^x}}$. You can compute [ f''(x) = \frac{4e^x \left( 4e^x-1 \right)}{(8e^x+1)^{\frac52}} ] so by $n-1$ EV, we only need to consider the case $x=y$. Let $t=e^x$; that means we want to show that [ 1 \le \frac{2}{\sqrt{1+8t}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+8/t^2}} < 2. ] Since this a function of one variable, we can just use standard Calculus BC methods. \end{proof}

\begin{example} [Vietnam 1998] Let $x_1$, $x_2$, \dots, $x_n$ be positive reals satisfying $\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{1998+x_i} = \frac{1}{1998}$. Prove [ \frac{\sqrt[n]{x_1x_2 \dots x_n}}{n-1} \ge 1998. ] \end{example} \begin{proof} Let $y_i = \frac{1998}{1998+x_i}$. Since $y_1 + y_2 + \dots + y_n = 1$, the problem becomes [ \prod_{i=1}^n \left( \frac{1}{y_i} - 1 \right) \ge \left( n-1 \right)^n. ] Set $f(x) = \ln \left( \frac 1x-1 \right)$, so the inequality becomes $f(y_1) + \dots + f(y_n) \ge n f\left( \frac 1n \right)$. We can prove that [ f''(y) = \frac{1-2y}{(y^2-y)^2}. ] So $f$ has one inflection point, we can assume WLOG that $y_1 = y_2 = \dots y_{n-1}$. Let this common value be $t$; we only need to prove [ (n-1) \ln \left( \frac{1}{t}-1 \right) + \ln \left( \frac{1}{1-(n-1)t}-1 \right) \ge n \ln (n-1). ] Again, since this is a one-variable inequality, calculus methods suffice. \end{proof}

\subsection{Practice Problems} \begin{enumerate} \ii Use Jensen to prove AM-GM. \ii If $a^2+b^2+c^2=1$ then $\frac{1}{a^2+2}+\frac{1}{b^2+2}+\frac{1}{c^2+2}\le\frac{1}{6ab+c^2}+\frac{1}{6bc+a^2}+\frac{1}{6ca+b^2}$. \ii If $a+b+c=3$ then [ \sum_{\text{cyc}} \frac{a}{2a^2+a+1} \le \frac 34. ] \ii (MOP 2012) If $a+b+c+d = 4$, then $\frac{1}{a^2}+\frac{1}{b^2}+\frac{1}{c^2}+\frac{1}{d^2}\ge a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2$. \end{enumerate}

\section{Eliminating Radicals and Fractions} \subsection{Weighted Power Mean} AM-GM has the following natural generalization. \begin{theorem} [Weighted Power Mean] Let $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$ and $w_1$, $w_2$, \dots, $w_n$ be positive reals with $w_1+w_2+\dots+w_n=1$. For any real number $r$, we define [ \mathcal P(r) = \begin{cases} \left( w_1 a_1^r + w_2 a_2^r + \dots + w_n a_n^r \right)^{1/r} & r \neq 0 \[1em] a_1^{w_1} a_2^{w_2} \dots a_n^{w_n} & r = 0. \end{cases} ] If $r>s$, then $\mathcal P(r) \ge \mathcal P(s)$ equality occurs if and only if $a_1 = a_2 = \dots = a_n$. \end{theorem} In particular, if $w_1 = w_2 = \dots = w_n = \frac 1n$, the above $\mathcal P(r)$ is just [ \mathcal P(r) = \begin{cases} \left( \displaystyle\frac{a_1^r + a_2^r + \dots + a_n^r}{n} \right)^{1/r} & r \neq 0 \[1.5em] \sqrt[n]{a_1a_2 \dots a_n} & r = 0. \end{cases} ] By setting $r=2,1,0,-1$ we derive [ \sqrt{\frac{a_1^2+\dots+a_n^2}{n}} \ge \frac{a_1+\dots+a_n}{n} \ge \sqrt[n]{a_1a_2 \dots a_n} \ge \frac{n}{\frac{1}{a_1} + \dots + \frac{1}{a_n}} ] which is QM-AM-GM-HM. Moreover, AM-GM lets us ``add'' roots, like [ \sqrt a + \sqrt b + \sqrt c \le 3\sqrt{\frac{a+b+c}{3}}. ]

\begin{example} [Taiwan TST Quiz] Prove $3(a+b+c) \ge 8\sqrt[3]{abc} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{a^3+b^3+c^3}{3}}$. \end{example} \begin{proof} By Power Mean with $r=1$, $s=\frac 13$, $w_1 = \frac 19$, $w_2 = \frac 89$, we find that [ \left( \frac 19 \sqrt[3]{\frac{a^3+b^3+c^3}{3}} + \frac 89 \sqrt[3]{abc} \right)^3 \le \frac19 \left( \frac{a^3+b^3+c^3}{3} \right) + \frac 89 \left( abc \right). ] so we want to prove $a^3+b^3+c^3+24abc \le (a+b+c)^3$, which is clear. \end{proof}

\subsection{Cauchy and H&quot;older} \begin{theorem}[H&quot;older's Inequality] Let $\lambda_a$, $\lambda_b$, \dots, $\lambda_z$ be positive reals with $\lambda_a + \lambda_b + \dots + \lambda_z = 1$. Let $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$, $b_1, b_2, \dots, b_n$, \dots, $z_1, z_2, \dots, z_n$ be positive reals. Then [ \left( a_1+\dots+a_n \right)^{\lambda_a} \left( b_1+\dots+b_n \right)^{\lambda_b} \dots \left( z_1+\dots+z_n \right)^{\lambda_z} \ge \sum_{i=1}^n a_i^{\lambda_a} b_i^{\lambda_b} \dots z_i^{\lambda_z}. ] Equality holds if $a_1 : a_2 : \dots : a_n \equiv b_1 : b_2 : \dots : b_n \equiv \dots \equiv z_1 : z_2 : \dots : z_n$. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} WLOG $a_1+\dots+a_n = b_1+\dots+b_n = \dots = 1$ (note that the degree of the $a_i$ on either side is $\lambda_a$). In that case, the LHS of the inequality is $1$, and we just note [ \sum_{i=1}^n a_i^{\lambda_a} b_i^{\lambda_b} \dots z_i^{\lambda_z} \le \sum_{i=1}^n \left( \lambda_a a_i + \lambda_b b_i + \dots \right) = 1. \qedhere ] \end{proof} If we set $\lambda_a = \lambda_b = \half$, we derive what is called the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. [ \left( a_1+a_2+\dots+a_n \right)\left( b_1+b_2+\dots+b_n \right) \ge \left( \sqrt{a_1 b_1} + \sqrt{a_2 b_2} + \dots + \sqrt{a_n b_n} \right)^2. ] Cauchy can be rewritten as [ \frac{x_1^2}{y_1} + \frac{x_2^2}{y_2} + \dots + \frac{x_n^2}{y_n} \ge \frac{\left( x_1+x_2+\dots+x_n \right)^2}{y_1+\dots+y_n}. ] This form it is often called Titu's Lemma in the United States.

Cauchy and H&quot;older have at least two uses: \begin{enumerate} \ii eliminating radicals, \ii eliminating fractions. \end{enumerate}

Let us look at some examples. \begin{example} [IMO 2001] Prove [ \sum_{\text{cyc}} \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2+8bc}} \ge 1. ] \end{example} \begin{proof} By Holder [ \left( \sum_{\text{cyc}} a(a^2+8bc) \right)^{\frac13} \left( \sum_{\text{cyc}} \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2+8bc}} \right)^{\frac 23} \ge \left( a+b+c \right) ] So it suffices to prove $(a+b+c)^3 \ge \sum_{\text{cyc}} a(a^2+8bc) = a^3+b^3+c^3+24abc$. Does this look familiar? \end{proof} In this problem, we used H&quot;older to clear the square roots in the denominator.

\begin{example} [Balkan] Prove $\frac{1}{a(b+c)} + \frac{1}{b(c+a)} + \frac{1}{c(a+b)} \ge \frac{27}{2(a+b+c)^2}$. \end{example} \begin{proof} Again by Holder, [ \left( \sum_{\text{cyc}} a \right)^{\frac 13} \left( \sum_{\text{cyc}} b+c \right)^{\frac 13} \left( \sum_{\text{cyc}} \frac{1}{a(b+c)} \right)^{\frac13} \ge 1+1+1 = 3. \qedhere ] \end{proof}

\begin{example} [JMO 2012] Prove $\sum_{\text{cyc}} \frac{a^3+5b^3}{3a+b} \ge \frac 32 \left( a^2+b^2+c^2 \right)$. \end{example} \begin{proof} We use Cauchy (Titu) to obtain [ \sum_{\text{cyc}} \frac{a^3}{3a+b} = \sum_{\text{cyc}} \frac{(a^2)^2}{3a^2+ab} \ge \frac{(a^2+b^2+c^2)^2}{\sum_{\text{cyc}} 3a^2+ab}. ] We can easily prove this is at least $\frac14 (a^2+b^2+c^2)$ (recall $a^2+b^2+c^2$ is the ``biggest'' sum, so we knew in advance this method would work). Similarly $\sum_{\text{cyc}} \frac{5b^3}{3a+b} \ge \frac 54 (a^2+b^2+c^2)$. \end{proof}

\begin{example} [USA TST 2010] If $abc=1$, prove $ \frac{1}{a^5(b+2c)^2}+\frac{1}{b^5(c+2a)^2}+\frac{1}{c^5(a+2b)^2}\ge\frac{1}{3} $. \end{example} \begin{proof} We can use H&quot;older to eliminate the square roots in the denominator: [ \left(\sum_{\text{cyc}}ab+2 ac\right)^2\left(\sum_{\text{cyc}}\frac{1}{a^5(b+2c)^2}\right)\ge\left(\sum_{\text{cyc}}\frac{1}{a}\right)^3\ge 3(ab+bc+ca)^2. \qedhere ] \end{proof}

\subsection{Practice Problems} \begin{enumerate} \ii If $a+b+c=1$, then$\sqrt{ab+c}+\sqrt{bc+a}+\sqrt{ca+b} \ge 1+\sqrt{ab}+\sqrt{bc}+\sqrt{ca}$. \ii If $a^2+b^2+c^2=12$, then $a\cdot\sqrt[3]{b^2+c^2}+b\cdot\sqrt[3]{c^2+a^2}+c\cdot\sqrt[3]{a^2+b^2}\leq 12$. \ii (ISL 2004) If $ab+bc+ca=1$, prove $ \sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{a}+6b}+\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{b}+6c}+\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{c}+6a }\leq\frac{1}{abc}$. \ii (MOP 2011) $\sqrt{a^2-ab+b^2}+\sqrt{b^2-bc+c^2} + \sqrt{c^2-ca+a^2} + 9\sqrt[3]{abc} \le 4(a+b+c)$. \ii (Evan Chen) If $a^3+b^3+c^3+abc=4$, prove [ \frac{(5a^2+bc)^2}{(a+b)(a+c)}+\frac{(5b^2+ca)^2}{(b+c)(b+a)}+\frac{(5c^2+ab)^2}{(c+a)(c+b)}\ge\frac{(10-abc)^2}{a+b+c}. ] When does equality hold? \end{enumerate}

\section{Problems} \begin{enumerate} \ii (MOP 2013) If $a+b+c=3$, then [ \sqrt{a^2+ab+b^2}+\sqrt{b^2+bc+c^2}+\sqrt{c^2+ca+a^2} \ge \sqrt 3. ] \ii (IMO 1995) If $abc=1$, then $\frac{1}{a^3(b+c)}+\frac{1}{b^3(c+a)}+\frac{1}{c^3(a+b)}\ge\frac{3}{2}$. \ii (USA 2003) Prove $\sum_{\text{cyc}} \frac{(2a+b+c)^2}{2a^2+(b+c)^2} \le 8$. \ii (Romania) Let $x_1$, $x_2$, \dots, $x_n$ be positive reals with $x_1x_2 \dots x_n=1$. Prove that $\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{n-1+x_i} \le 1$. \ii (USA 2004) Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be positive reals. Prove that [ \left( a^5-a^2+3 \right)\left( b^5-b^2+3 \right)\left( c^5-c^2+3 \right) \ge \left( a+b+c \right)^3. ] \ii (Evan Chen) Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be positive reals satisfying $a+b+c = \sqrt[7]{a} + \sqrt[7]{b} + \sqrt[7]{c}$. Prove $a^a b^b c^c \ge 1$. \end{enumerate}

  • The answer to your query depends importantly on the document class you employ. Please do reveal that piece of information. – Mico Jan 17 '22 at 10:34
  • Hello I do have edited and put the code and I believe that it is from \begin{document} \title{A Brief Introduction to Olympiad Inequalities} \author{Evan Chen} \date{April 30, 2014} \maketitle that the code works but I have to use his package which I was wondering if I can do it without using his package every time – 주성우 Jan 17 '22 at 10:37
  • \author, \date and \title are in the header: the evan package might have the code that does that. See how it does it - it could be something like using fancyhdr and putting \title into the header that way. – Cicada Jan 17 '22 at 10:39
  • Yes so is there no way to put the title without using his package? It does not have to be the same. I am just wondering how I could do like that. – 주성우 Jan 17 '22 at 10:41

    See fancyhdr package, page 8 of documentation (texdoc fancyhdr). – Cicada Jan 17 '22 at 10:42
  • @Cicada Thank you! – 주성우 Jan 17 '22 at 10:45

In light of this post, you can do something like that with fancyhdr package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\author{My Author Name} \date{\today} \title{My Title of Document}

\makeatletter \let\mytitle@title \let\myauthor@author \let\mydate@date \makeatother

\pagestyle{fancy} \fancyhead[L]{\myauthor} \fancyhead[R]{\mytitle}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\newpage

You can use \mytitle, \myauthor, \mydate anywhere in your document as in this example.

\end{document}
