Solution. According to Abel formula, we note that
i=1∑nyi(xi13−xi)=(y1−y2)(x113−x1)+(y2−y3)(x113+x213−x1−x2)+…+(yn−1−yn)(i=1∑n−1xi13−i=1∑n−1xi)+yn(i=1∑nxi13−i=1∑nxi)
Since yk≤yk+1∀k∈{1,2,…,n−1}, we only need to prove that
i=1∑kxi13≥i=1∑kxi⇔i=1∑kxi(xi12−1)≥0
Applying Abel formula again, we have
i=1∑kxi(xi12−1)=(x1−x2)(x112−1)+(x2−x3)(x112+x212−2)+…+(xk−1−xk)(i=1∑k−1xi12−k+1)+xk(i=1∑kxi12−k)
Notice that xi∈[−1,1],∀i∈{1,2,…,n} so ∑i=1jxi12≤j∀j∈{1,2,…,k}. Moreover, because x1≤x2≤…≤xk, every term in the above sum except the last term is non-negative. If xk≤0, we are done. Otherwise, suppose that xk≥0, then xi≥0∀i≥k+1. This implies (by hypothesis)
i=k+1∑nxi13≤i=k+1∑nxi⇒i=1∑kxi13≥i=1∑kxi
