symetric inequality for a rational function of three variables
$a,b,c$ are positive real numbers such that $a+b+c=1$. Prove that: $$\dfrac{a^3}{a^2+b^2}+\dfrac{b^3}{b^2+c^2}+\dfrac{c^3}{c^2+a^2} \geqslant \dfrac{1}{2} $$ I have tried with Cauchy-Schwarz inequality in Engel form...
Solution 1:
We have $\frac{ab^2}{a^2 +b^2}\leq \frac{b}{2} ,\frac{bc^2}{c^2 +b^2}\leq \frac{c}{2} ,\frac{ca^2}{c^2 +a^2}\leq \frac{a}{2}$ hence $$\frac{a^3}{a^2 +b^2} +\frac{b^3}{c^2 +b^2} +\frac{c^3}{a^2 +c^2} =a+b+c - \left(\frac{ab^2}{a^2 +b^2}+\frac{bc^2}{c^2 +b^2}+\frac{ca^2}{c^2 +a^2}\right) \geq \frac{a+b+c}{2}.$$
