Some years ago, I saw the following problem:
Suppose
. Prove that
.
The proof is easy. However, it is not easy to give a Sum of Squares expression of
in the form
where
is some integer,
's are polynomials with non-negative coefficients,
's are polynomials, and
is a polynomial.
Ji Chen gave the following expression:

&a^2+b^2+c^2+2abc+1 - 2(ab+bc+ca)\\
=\ & \frac{1}{2(a+b)^2}\Big[(a^2-ac-b^2+bc-a+b)^2 +(a^2-2ab-ac+b^2-bc+a+b)^2\\
&\qquad\qquad\quad + 4ab(a-b)^2 + 4ab(c-1)^2 + 4abc(a+b-2)^2\Big].
