by Cauchy inequality,we got $a^{3}c+b^{3}a+c^{3}b\ge a^{2}b^{2}+b^{2}c^{2}+c^{2}a^{2}$

Prove that :
$\frac{a^4}{a^2+ab+b^2}+\frac{b^4}{b^2+bc+c^2}+\frac{c^4}{c^2+ca+a^2}\geq\frac{a^3+b^3+c^3}{a+b+c}$

After expanding we need to prove that
$\sum_{cyc}(a^6c^3+a^5c^4+a^6b^2c+a^6c^2b+a^5c^3b-a^5b^3c-2a^4b^3c^2-a^4c^3b^2-a^3b^3c^3)\geq0$
which is true by AM-GM.
For example: $\sum_{cyc}\left(\frac{3}{4}a^6b^2c+\frac{1}{4}a^6c^2b\right)=\sum_{cyc}\left(\frac{3}{4}a^6b^2c+\frac{1}{4}b^6a^2c\right)\geq\sum_{cyc}a^5b^3c$ ,...

I don't think so, Muirhead need sym, not cyc...
in fact, try $a=2,b=1,c=\frac{1}{4}$

yes,I made a mistake,you're right kuing!

Can you show me another solution without expanding it?

$\Longleftrightarrow \sum_{cyc}{\left(\frac{a^4}{a^2+ab+b^2}+ab-a^2\right)}\geq \frac{3abc}{a+b+c}$
$\Longleftrightarrow \sum_{cyc}{\frac{ab^3}{a^2+ab+b^2}}\geq \frac{3abc}{a+b+c}$
$\Longleftrightarrow \sum_{cyc}{\frac{b^2}{1+\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}}}\geq \frac{3abc}{a+b+c}$
By cauchy we have
$\sum_{cyc}{\frac{b^2}{1+\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}}}\geq \frac{(a+b+c)^2}{3+\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}+\frac{a}{c}+\frac{c}{a}+\frac{b}{c}+\frac{c}{b}}=\frac{abc(a+b+c)}{ab+bc+ca}$
It suffice to show that
$\frac{abc(a+b+c)}{ab+bc+ca}\geq \frac{3abc}{a+b+c}$
$\Longleftrightarrow (a+b+c)^2\geq 3(ab+bc+ca)$
which is trival.
