Solving the inequalities with constraints on function parameters.

97 Views Asked by At

Is there any way to show that the following inequality holds for the given functions with constraints?

Let $f_1(x) = \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{(1+(1+a) x+(1-a) y)^2-4 a x (1+x)}+(1-a)x-(1-a)y-1)$,

$f_2(x) = \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{(1+(1+a) x+(1-a) y)^2-4 a x (1+x)}-(1-a)x+(1-a)y-1)$, and

$f_3(x) = \frac{(1-a)(y+1)x}{(1-a)y+1}$, such that

$\frac{\left(1+\frac{1}{f_1(x)}\right)^{f'_1(x)}\left(1+\frac{1}{f_2(x)}\right)^{f'_2(x)}}{\left(1+\frac{1}{f_3(x)}\right)^{f'_3(x)}} \geq 1$, for $0.5 \leq a \leq 1$, $x >0,y \geq 0$. It can be easily checked that it saturates the inequality for $\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}$.

Here is the full expression:

$\frac{\left(1+\frac{2}{\left(\sqrt{(1+(1+a) x+(1-a) y)^2-4 a x (1+x)}+(1-a)x-(1-a)y-1\right)}\right)^{\frac{(1 - a) (1 + (1+a) y + (1-a)x)}{2\sqrt{(1+(1+a) x+(1-a) y)^2-4 a x (1+x)}}+\frac{(1-a)}{2}}\left(1+\frac{2}{\left(\sqrt{(1+(1+a) x+(1-a) y)^2-4 a x (1+x)}-(1-a)x+(1-a)y-1\right)}\right)^{\frac{(1 - a) (1 +(1+a) y + (1-a)x)}{2\sqrt{(1+(1+a) x+(1-a) y)^2-4 a x (1+x)}}-\frac{(1-a)}{2}}}{\left(1+\frac{(1-a)y+1}{(1-a)(y+1)x}\right)^{\frac{(1-a)(y+1)}{(1-a)y+1}}} \geq 1$..

I have noticed the following points: Each $f_i(x) > 0 $ for the given constraints! Hence all individual terms inside the big brackets are greater than 1. Moreover, the term written in the power of each bracket is always $\geq 0$.

Numerically, I've checked this for different range of $x,y$ and $a$. It always holds.. I'm not sure how I can prove this analytically! Actual expression was in terms of $\log$ functions and it was required to show that the $\log$ function is always positive $\rightarrow$ the above mentioned function is always $\geq 1$.

I am sorry for such a complex form of the expression. Thanks!
