4-variable inequality

62 Views Asked by At

Prove that for positive $a,b,c,d$ $$\prod_{cyc}(b+c+d-2a) \le abcd$$

By taking the fourth root, both sides are less than $\frac{a+b+c+d}{4}$.

A common technique used when this happens is to subtract the expression from both sides in the original inequality, do some algebra and hopefully arrive at the result, but I can't seem to find a solution.

It's wrong.

Try $c=d\rightarrow0^+$ and $a=b=1$.
