Equivalently, we prove the homogenized inequality
(2a+b+c)2(a+b+c)2+(a+2b+c)2(a+b+c)2+(a+b+2c)2(a+b+c)2≤163(a+b+c)(a1+b1+c1)
for all positive real numbers a, b, c. Without loss of generality we choose a+b+c=1. Thus, the problem is equivalent to prove for all a, b, c>0, fulfilling this condition, the inequality
(1+a)21+(1+b)21+(1+c)21≤163(a1+b1+c1)(5)
Applying Jensen's inequality to the function f(x)=(1+x)2x, which is concave for 0≤x≤2 and increasing for 0≤x≤1, we obtain
α(1+a)2a+β(1+b)2b+γ(1+c)2c≤(α+β+γ)(1+A)2A, where A=α+β+γαa+βb+γc.
Choosing α=a1, β=b1, and γ=c1, we can apply the harmonic-arithmetic-mean inequality
A=a1+b1+c13≤3a+b+c=31<1
Finally we prove (5):
(1+a)21+(1+b)21+(1+c)21≤(a1+b1+c1)(1+A)2A≤(a1+b1+c1)(1+31)231=163(a1+b1+c1)
