Is it true that if $a+b+c=1$, where $a$, $b$ and $c$ are nonnegative real numbers, then $$(3-2\sqrt{2})\sum\limits_{cyc}\sqrt{ab}+2\sqrt{2}-1\geq\sum\limits_{cyc}\sqrt{(1-a)(1-b)}?$$ Edit: I was told to improve this question in a way that I assume means providing context. The similar inequality $\sum\limits_{cyc}\sqrt{(1-a)(1-b)}\geq\sum\limits_{cyc}\sqrt{ab}+1$ under the same conditions is an old and rather easy question. And since $\sum\limits_{cyc}\sqrt{ab}\leq1$, the inequality strengthens as the constant increases. It is easy to show that 1 and 1 are the best possible constants for a lower bound. Also 2 is an upper bound for the LHS of the original, so a natural question is how much can we lower this number? Playing around with it for a while strongly suggests that $(\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2},0)$ will be an equality case, giving the bound of $3-2\sqrt{2}$ for the coefficient of the cyclic sum term as shown. Unfortunately, due to my inexperience in more advanced or creative techniques in inequalities, this seems to be well out of my reach.
