Let $a, b,c>0$ such that $b+c>a$ . Prove that $2 \sqrt[4]{\frac{a}{b+c-a}}\ge 2 +\frac{2a^2-b^2-c^2}{(a+b)(a+c)}.$

Let $a,b > 0 .$ Prove that
$\frac{(ka^2 - kab-b)^2 + (kb^2 - kab-a)^2 + (ab-ka-kb )^2}{ (ka+b)^2 + (kb+a)^2+(a - b)^2 }\geq \frac {1}{(k+1)^2}$ Where $k\geq 0.37088 .$
$\frac{(a^2 - ab-b)^2 + (b^2 - ab-a)^2 + ( ab-a-b)^2}{a^2 +b^2+(a - b)^2 } \geq 1$ $\frac{(2a^2 - 2ab-b)^2 + (2b^2 - 2ab-a)^2 + (ab-2a-2b )^2}{ (2a+b)^2 + (2b+a)^2+(a - b)^2 }\geq \frac 19$

Let $a_n$ be a sequence of positive real numbers such that for every $n > 2025$ , we have:
$a_n = \max_{1 \leq i \leq 2025} a_{n-i} - \min_{1 \leq i \leq 2025} a_{n-i}$ Prove that there exists a natural number $M$ such that for all $n > M$ , the following holds:
$a_n < \frac{1}{1404}$

A number $n$ is called lucky if it has at least two distinct prime divisors and can be written in the form:
$n = p_1^{\alpha_1} + \cdots + p_k^{\alpha_k}$ where $p_1, \dots, p_k$ are distinct prime numbers that divide $n$ . (Note: it is possible that $n$ has other prime divisors not among $p_1, \dots, p_k$ .) Prove that for every prime number $p$ , there exists a lucky number $n$ such that $p \mid n$ .

Troublesome median in a difficult inequality

by JG666, May 22, 2022, 2:35 AM

Determine the minimum value of $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$ , such that for any positive integer $n$ and non-negative reals $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_n$ , the following inequality always holds:
$\sum_{i=1}^n(m_i-a_i)^2\leqslant \lambda\cdot\sum_{i=1}^nx_i^2,$ Here $m_i$ and $a_i$ denote the median and arithmetic mean of $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_i$ , respectively.
