. From the rearrangement inequality we have a3+b3⩾a2b+b2a and thus
a3+b3+abc1⩽a2b+b2a+abc1=abc(a+b+c)c
Similarly, we have
a3+b3+abc1+b3+c3+abc1+c3+a3+abc1⩽abc(a+b+c)c+abc(a+b+c)a+abc(a+b+c)b which gives the right inequality. For the left inequality, we will use the inequalities of means. First, according to the inequality between harmonic mean and arithmetic mean, we have
a3+b3+abc1+b3+c3+abc1+c3+a3+abc13⩽32a3+2b3+2c3+3abc.
Finally, according to the inequality between geometric mean and arithmetic mean, we have
3abc⩽a3+b3+c3
which combined with the previous inequality gives
a3+b3+c33⩽a3+b3+abc1+b3+c3+abc1+c3+a3+abc1
