Let yi=2i/2xi, for i=1,2,…,22. It is well-known that f(t)=t+t1 is decreasing on (0,1] and increasing on [1,+∞). For 1≤i≤11, we have 212−i1≤yi≤211−i1, thus yi+yi1≤212−i+212−i1. For 12≤i≤22, we have 2i−12≤yi≤2i−11, thus yi+yi1≤2i−11+2i−111. Hence, we have
(i=1∑22xi)(i=1∑22xi1)=(i=1∑22yi)(i=1∑22yi1)≤41(i=1∑n(yi+yi1))2≤41(i=1∑11(212−i+212−i1)+i=12∑22(2i−11+2i−111))2=(21+22+⋯+211+211+221+⋯+2111)2=(212−1−2111)2.
When
xi={2i−1,2i,1≤i≤11,12≤i≤22,
equality holds. Thus, the maximum value sought is (212−1−2111)2. □
