Hello @Gurīdo Cuong , can you help me finding out flaw in the following: A p p l y i n g C S , ( x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + z 2 + y 2 + x 2 ) ( 1 + 1 + 1 + x 2 + z 2 + y 2 ) ≥ ( x + y + z + x z + y z + x y ) 2 H e n c e M a x i m u m v a l u e = 2 ∗ 4 = 2 2
I am searching for some silly mistake.O_o

The flaw here's the equality case. You see the equality holds at x = y = z = x z = y x = z y = 1 which contradict the given condition x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = 1

Thanks. I must have checked the condition when equality holds. Good problem and solution.
what is the min value
the answer is 3.73
Maximum of the value follows from,AM-QM inequality and from the fact that x 2 + y 2 + z 2 ≥ x y + y z + z x . For the minimum we see that, the expression equals 2 s 2 + s − 1 where s=a+b+c.so,minimizing s would minimize the expression. Since, x , y , z ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] from the constraint.x+y+z ≥ x^2+y^2+z^2=1.Hence ,the minimum is 1/2+1-1/2=1.

Call the expression S ,now using Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality we get S ≤ 3 ( x 2 + y 2 + z 2 ) + x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = 1 + 3 The equality holds when x = y = z = 3 1
We set x + y + z = t , from the condition we have t 2 − 2 ( x y + y z + x z ) = 1 ⇒ x y + y z + x z = 2 t 2 − 1 ≥ 0 So t ≥ 1 , therefore S = t + 2 t 2 − 1 ≥ 1 The equality holds when one variable is equal to 1 and the rest are equal to 0
So finally the sum is 2 + 3 ≈ 3 . 7 3
