cyc ( a , b , c ) ∑ a b + 1 a 3 + b 3 ≥ 4 3 2 4 m .
If the inequality above is true for all positive real numbers a , b , c with constant m such that a + b + c = a b c , find the value of m .

Notice that ( a + b ) ( b + c ) ( c + a ) ≥ 9 8 ( a + b + c ) ( a b + b c + c a ) ≥ 9 8 ( a + b + c ) 3 a b c ( a + b + c ) = 9 8 3 a 2 b 2 c 2 . Hence, ( a 3 + b 3 ) ( b 3 + c 3 ) ( c 3 + a 3 ) ≥ a b ( a + b ) ⋅ b c ( b + c ) ⋅ c a ( c + a ) ≥ 9 8 3 a 4 b 4 c 4 . Now, using the AM-GM inequality, we have ( a b + 1 ) ( b c + 1 ) ( c a + 1 ) = a b c ( a b c + a ) ( a b c + b ) ( a b c + c ) ≤ a b c 1 ( 3 a b c + a + a b c + b + a b c + c ) 3 = 2 7 6 4 a 2 b 2 c 2 . Therefore, c y c ∑ a b + 1 a 3 + b 3 ≥ 3 3 ( a b + 1 ) ( b c + 1 ) ( c a + 1 ) ( a 3 + b 3 ) ( b 3 + c 3 ) ( c 3 + a 3 ) ≥ 3 3 2 7 6 4 a 4 b 4 c 4 9 8 3 a 4 b 4 c 4 = 4 3 2 4 2 7 .
Are you using the unstated assumption that a + b + c = a b c ?
Solution full of AM-GM! We could have used Jensen as well in the last as well.

A little bit of trigonometry: Let a=b=c= tan(60°), not sure if this is valid but 27 is the result for m
