The Best Constant For Inequality Involving Sum Of The Reciprocals And Product Of Positive Numbers With Unit Sum

Yagub N. Aliyev

Abstract

In the paper we study a special parameter containing algebraic inequality involving sum of reciprocals and product of positive real numbers whose sum is 1. We determine the best values of the parameter using a new optimization argument. In the case of three numbers the algebraic inequality have some interesting geometric applications involving a generalization of Euler's inequality about the ratio of radii of circumscribed and inscribed circles of a triangle.
