For $$x,y,z>0 $$

Prove that

$$(2xyz)^2 \ge (x^3+y^3+z^3+xyz)(x+y-z)(y+z-x)(z+x-y)$$

I have tried a famous inequalities: $$(x+y-z)(y+z-x)(z+x-y) \le xyz$$

So the problem is:

$$3xyz \ge x^3+y^3+z^3$$

But in fact, this isn’t true

Help me plz

    $\begingroup$ if $x,y,z$ do not form the sides of a triangle, then the RHS is non-positive and the problem is done. So the interesting case is when they are the sides of a triangle and then you should do the Ravi substitution. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ If $s_1=x+y+z, s_2=xy+yz+xz, s_3=xyz,$ this can be rewritten as: $$4s_3^2\geq \left(s_{1}^3-3s_2s_1+4s_3\right)\left(-s_1^3+4s_2s_1-8s_3\right)$$ Not sure if that helps. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 29, 2021 at 17:00

If $\prod\limits_{cyc}(x+y-z)<0$ so the inequality is obvious.

Thus, it's enough to assume that $\prod\limits_{cyc}(x+y-z)\geq0.$

Now, since $x+y-z<0$ and $x+z-y<0$ gives $x<0$, which is a contradiction, we can assume that $x+y-z=c\geq0,$ $x+z-y=b\geq0$ and $y+z-x=a\geq0$ and we need to prove that $$(a+b)^2(a+c)^2(b+c)^2\geq4abc(abc+\sum_{cyc}(a^3+2a^2b+2a^2c))$$ or $$\sum_{sym}(a^4b^2-a^4bc+a^3b^3-2a^3bc+a^2b^2c^2)\geq0$$ or $$\prod_{cyc}(a-b)^2+4\sum_{cyc}(a^3b^3-a^3b^2c-a^3c^2b+a^2b^2c^2)\geq0,$$ which is true by Schur.

Suppose $z=\min\{x,y,z\}.$ We can write this inequality as $$(x^3+y^3+z^3+xyz)\left [xyz-\prod (x+y-z) \right ] \geqslant xyz(x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz),$$ But $$xyz-\prod (x+y-z) = (x+y-z)(x-y)^2+z(x-z)(y-z),$$ $$x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz = (x+y+z)[(x-y)^2+(x-z)(y-z)].$$ Thefore the inequality equivalent to $$M(x-y)^2+N(x-z)(y-z) \geqslant 0,$$ for $$\begin{aligned}M &= (x^3+y^3+z^3+xyz)(x+y-z)-xyz(x+y+z) \\& \geqslant (x^3+y^3+z^3+xyz)x-xyz(x+y+z) \\& = x[x^3+(y+z)(y-z)^2] \geqslant 0.\end{aligned}$$ $$N = x^3+y^3+z^3-xy(x+y) = (x+y)(x-y)^2+z^3 \geqslant 0.$$ The proof is completed.
