JP.499 Find 𝝀 > 0 so that the double inequality

𝟐
(𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄)𝟑 − 𝒂𝟑 − 𝒃𝟑 − 𝒄𝟑
𝑹 ≥ ≥ 𝟐𝑹𝒓
𝝀(𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄)
holds in any triangle 𝑨𝑩𝑪.
Proposed by Alex Szoros-Romania
Solution 1 by proposer
We assume the problem is solved. If 𝚫𝑨𝑩𝑪 is equilateral, we have that:
𝒂 = 𝒃 = 𝒄 = 𝒍 and 𝑹 = 𝟐𝒓.
The relationship in the statement becomes:
𝟐𝟕𝒍𝟑 − 𝟑𝒍𝟑 𝟖𝒍𝟐
𝑹𝟐 ≥ ≥ 𝑹 𝟐 ⇒ 𝑹𝟐 ≥ ⇒ 𝝀 = 𝟐𝟒
𝟑𝒍𝝀 𝝀
For 𝝀 = 𝟐𝟒 we will show that:

𝟐
(𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄)𝟑 − 𝒂𝟑 − 𝒃𝟑 − 𝒄𝟑
𝑹 ≥ ≥ 𝟐𝑹𝒓
𝟐𝟒(𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄)
Using the identity:
(𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄)𝟑 = 𝒂𝟑 + 𝒃𝟑 + 𝒄𝟑 + 𝟑(𝒂 + 𝒃)(𝒃 + 𝒄)(𝒄 + 𝒂)
we get:
(𝒂 + 𝒃)(𝒃 + 𝒄)(𝒄 + 𝒂)
𝑹𝟐 ≥ ≥ 𝟐𝑹𝒓; (𝟏)
𝟏𝟔𝒔
9 34-RMM AUTUMN EDITION 2024-SOLUTIONS
www.ssmrmh.ro
But, 𝒂𝒃𝒄 + (𝒂 + 𝒃)(𝒃 + 𝒄)(𝒄 + 𝒂) = (𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄)(𝒂𝒃 + 𝒃𝒄 + 𝒄𝒂)
(𝒂 + 𝒃)(𝒃 + 𝒄)(𝒄 + 𝒂) = 𝟐𝒔(𝒔𝟐 + 𝒓𝟐 + 𝟐𝑹𝒓)
Hence, (1) becomes:
𝒔𝟐 + 𝒓𝟐 + 𝟐𝑹𝒓
𝑹𝟐 ≥ ≥ 𝟐𝑹𝒓 ⇔
𝟖
𝟖𝑹𝟐 − 𝟐𝑹𝒓 − 𝒓𝟐 ≥ 𝟏𝟒𝑹𝒓 − 𝒓𝟐 ; (𝟐)
From Gerretsen’s inequality: 𝟒𝑹𝟐 + 𝟒𝑹𝒓 + 𝟑𝒓𝟐 ≥ 𝒔𝟐 ≥ 𝟏𝟔𝑹𝒓 − 𝟓𝒓𝟐 , we get:
𝟖𝑹𝟐 − 𝟐𝑹𝒓 − 𝒓𝟐 ≥ 𝟒𝑹𝟐 + 𝟒𝑹𝒓 + 𝟑𝒓𝟐 ≥ 𝒔𝟐 ≥ 𝟏𝟔𝑹𝒓 − 𝟓𝒓𝟐 ≥ 𝟏𝟒𝑹𝒓 − 𝒓𝟐 true.
So, (2) is true. In conclusion 𝝀 = 𝟐𝟒.

Solution 2 by Tapas Das-India


𝟐𝒔
For an equilateral triangle 𝑨𝑩𝑪: 𝒂 = 𝒃 = 𝒄 = and 𝑹 = 𝟐𝒓.
𝟑

So, the given inequality is true in equilateral triangle.


(𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄)𝟑 − 𝒂𝟑 − 𝒃𝟑 − 𝒄𝟑
𝑹𝟐 ≥ ≥ 𝟐𝑹𝒓
𝝀(𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄)
𝟐𝒔
We put 𝑹 = 𝟐𝒓, 𝒂 = 𝒃 = 𝒄 = and we get:
𝟑

𝟐𝟕𝒂𝟑 − 𝟑𝒂𝟑 𝟐
𝟐𝟒𝒂𝟑
= 𝟒𝒓 ⇒ = 𝟒𝒓𝟐 ⇒ 𝟖𝒂𝟐 = 𝟒𝒓𝟐 𝝀 ⇒
𝝀 ⋅ 𝟑𝒂 𝝀 ⋅ 𝟑𝒂
𝟐𝒂𝟐 𝟐 𝟐𝒔 𝟐 𝟖 𝒔𝟐 𝟖 𝟐𝟕𝒓𝟐
𝝀 = 𝟐 = 𝟐 ( ) = ⋅ 𝟐 = ⋅ 𝟐 ⇒ 𝝀 = 𝟐𝟒.
𝒓 𝒓 𝟑 𝟗 𝒓 𝟗 𝒓
So, it is suffices to prove for 𝝀 = 𝟐𝟒. We have:
(𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄)𝟑 − 𝒂𝟑 − 𝒃𝟑 − 𝒄𝟑 𝟖𝒔𝟑 − 𝟐(𝒔𝟑 − 𝟑𝒓𝟐 𝒔 − 𝟔𝑹𝒓𝒔) 𝒔𝟐 + 𝒓𝟐 + 𝟐𝑹𝒓
= =
𝟐𝟒(𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄) 𝟐𝟒 ⋅ 𝟐𝒔 𝟖
We need to show:
𝒔𝟐 + 𝒓𝟐 + 𝟐𝑹𝒓
≥ 𝟐𝑹𝒓 ⇔ 𝒔𝟐 + 𝒓𝟐 − 𝟏𝟒𝑹𝒓 ≥ 𝟎 ⇔
𝟖
𝟏𝟔𝑹𝒓 − 𝟓𝒓𝟐 + 𝒓𝟐 − 𝟏𝟒𝑹𝒓 ≥ 𝟎 ⇔ 𝟐𝑹𝒓 − 𝟒𝒓𝟐 ≥ 𝟎 ⇔ 𝑹 ≥ 𝟐𝒓 (𝑬𝒖𝒍𝒆𝒓); (𝟏)
Again,
(𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄)𝟑 − 𝒂𝟑 − 𝒃𝟑 − 𝒄𝟑 𝒔𝟐 + 𝒓𝟐 + 𝟐𝑹𝒓
=
𝟐𝟒(𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄) 𝟖
We need to show:
10 34-RMM AUTUMN EDITION 2024-SOLUTIONS
www.ssmrmh.ro
𝒔𝟐 + 𝒓𝟐 + 𝟐𝑹𝒓
≤ 𝑹𝟐 ⇔ 𝒔𝟐 + 𝒓𝟐 + 𝟐𝑹𝒓 ≤ 𝟖𝑹𝟐 ⇔
𝟖
𝟐𝑹𝟐 − 𝟑𝑹𝒓 − 𝟐𝒓𝟐 ≥ 𝟎 ⇔ (𝑹 − 𝟐𝒓)(𝟐𝑹 + 𝒓) ≥ 𝟎 (𝟐)
From (1) and (2) is true for 𝝀 = 𝟐𝟒.

Using Gerretsen’s inequality, we get:

But 𝑹 ≥ 𝟐𝒓(𝑬𝒖𝒍𝒆𝒓) ⇔ 𝒓 ≤ 𝟐 , namely 𝒓𝟐𝒂 + 𝒓𝟐𝒃 + 𝒓𝟐𝒄 ≥ 𝟒

Now, we’ll prove that:


𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑨) + 𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑩) + 𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑪) ≤ 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑨 + 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑩 + 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑪 . 𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞:
𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑨) + 𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑩) = 𝟐 𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝑨 + 𝑩) 𝐜𝐨𝐬(𝑨 − 𝑩) ≤ 𝟐 𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝑨 + 𝑩) = 𝟐 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑪
Similarly,
𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑩) + 𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑪) ≤ 𝟐 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑨 and 𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑪) + 𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑨) ≤ 𝟐 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑩
So, 𝟐(𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑨) + 𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑩) + 𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑪)) ≤ 𝟐(𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑨 + 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑩 + 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑪) ⇔
𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑨) + 𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑩) + 𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝟐𝑪) ≤ 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑨 + 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑩 + 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑪

Also, we know that: 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑨 + 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑩 + 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝑪 ≤ 𝟐

Proposed by Radu Diaconu-Romania


Solution by proposer
Lemma: If 𝒑 ∈ ℕ, then:

50 34-RMM AUTUMN EDITION 2024-SOLUTIONS


www.ssmrmh.ro
𝑨𝒑+𝟏 + 𝟏 𝑨 + 𝟏

𝑨𝒑 + 𝟏 𝟐
Proof. We have:
𝑨𝒑+𝟏 + 𝟏 𝑨 + 𝟏
≥ ⇔ 𝟐𝑨𝒑+𝟏 + 𝟐 ≥ 𝑨𝒑+𝟏 + 𝑨𝒑 + 𝑨 + 𝟏 ⇔
𝑨𝒑 + 𝟏 𝟐
𝑨𝒑+𝟏 − 𝑨𝒑 − (𝑨 − 𝟏) ≥ 𝟎 ⇔ 𝑨𝒑 (𝑨 − 𝟏) − (𝑨 − 𝟏) ≥ 𝟎 ⇔
(𝑨 − 𝟏)(𝑨𝒑 − 𝟏) ≥ 𝟎 ⇔ (𝑨 − 𝟏)𝟐 (𝑨𝒑−𝟏 + 𝑨𝒑−𝟐 + ⋯ + 𝑨 + 𝟏) ≥ 𝟎
Equality holds for 𝑨 = 𝟏.
Using lemma and Holder’s inequality, we get:
𝒏 𝒑+𝟏 𝒌 𝒏 𝒏 𝒌
𝑨𝒊 + 𝟏 𝑨𝒊 + 𝟏 𝒌 𝟏 𝑨𝒊 + 𝟏
∑( 𝒑 ) ≥ ∑( ) ≥ 𝟐 (∑ ) =
𝑨𝒊 + 𝟏 𝟐 𝒏 𝟐

𝒏 𝒏 𝒌

= 𝒌−𝟏 ( ∑ 𝑨𝒊 + ∑ 𝟏) = , 𝒑, 𝒌 ∈ ℕ
𝒏 𝟐 𝟐 𝟐𝒌 ⋅ 𝒏𝒌−𝟏
𝒊=𝟏 𝒊=𝟏

For 𝒌 = 𝟏, inequality is obviously true from lemma, and for 𝒌 = 𝟎 we obtain equality 𝒏 =
𝒏.
Equality holds if and only of 𝒌 = 𝟎.
