Inequality with Products and Sums
I need help to find a proof for the following inquality.
Assuming that $ 0 \leq c_i \leq 1 $ and $ 0 \leq d_i \leq 1 $, show that
$$
\prod_{i=1}^N (c_i + d_i - c_i d_i) \geq \prod_{i=1}^N c_i + \prod_{...

Mathematicals inequalities
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:
$$3xyz \ge x^3+y^3+z^3$$

Prove that $\frac1{a(1+b)}+\frac1{b(1+c)}+\frac1{c(1+a)}\ge\frac3{1+abc}$
I tried doing it with CS-Engel to get $$
\frac{1}{a(1+b)}+\frac{1}{b(1+c)}+\frac{1}{c(1+a)} \geq \frac{9}{a+b+c+ a b+b c+a c}
$$
I thought that maybe proof that $$

Sum of positive elements divided by their "weighted" product - inequality
I have following expression,
$$ \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{\prod_{i=1}^nx_i^{p_i}} $$
where $p_i$s satisfy $\sum p_i = 1$ and $p_i \in [0,1]$ and $x_i\geq0$, $\forall i \in 1\dots n$.
I think that ...

Where has this inequality come from?
Within the paper PRIMES is in P the following inequality can be found (on page 4, in the proof of Lemma 4.3)
$$
n^{\lfloor \log(B) \rfloor} \prod_{i=1}^{\lfloor \log^2(n) \rfloor} (n^i - 1) \hspace{...

Prove $x^{y+1}z+y^{z+1}x+z^{x+1}y\geq x^2y^2z^2$
Let $x>1$, $y>1$ and $z>1$ be such that $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}=1$. Prove that:
$$x^{y+1}z+y^{z+1}x+z^{x+1}y\geq x^2y^2z^2.$$
When $x=y=z=3$, both sides are equal to $3^6$. ...

Proof of Inequality involving sum and product without induction
How could you prove these inequalities wihout induction:($a_k$ are non-negative)
1)$\prod_{k=1}^n(1+a_k)\ge1+\sum_{k=1}^n a_k$
2)$\prod_{k=1}^n(1+a_k)\le1+\frac{\sum_{k=1}^na_k}{1!}+\ldots+\frac{(\...

Prove $\prod_{k=1}^n(1+a_k)\leq1+2\sum_{k=1}^n a_k$
I want to prove
$$\prod_{k=1}^n(1+a_k)\leq1+2\sum_{k=1}^n a_k$$
if $\sum_{k=1}^n a_k\leq1$ and $a_k\in[0,+\infty)$
I have no idea where to start, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Prove that $\prod_{n \in \mathbb{N}}{(1-a_n)} \geq 1 - \sum_{n \in \mathbb{N}}{a_n}$
The following proof is obtained from this paper.
My question is how to obtain the inequality.
My guess is because of the following inequality:
$$\prod_{n \in \mathbb{N}}{(1-a_n)} \geq 1 - \sum_{n ...

An inequality involving sums and products
I am curious to know whether the following holds or not.
If $n_1,n_2,n_3,m_1,m_2$ are positive integers strictly greater than 1 such that $$n_1+n_2+n_3 > m_1 +m_2$$
then $$n_1n_2n_3 \geq m_1m_2.$$

Prove $1 + \sum_{i=0}^n(\frac1{x_i}\prod_{j\neq i}(1+\frac1{x_j-x_i}))=\prod_{i=0}^n(1+\frac1{x_i})$
Prove the identity
$$1 + \sum_{i=0}^n \left(\frac1{x_i}\prod_{j\neq i} \left(1+\frac1{x_j-x_i} \right) \right)=\prod_{i=0}^n \left(1+\frac1{x_i} \right)$$
