For abc=1 prove that sum lim_text{cyc}(1)/(a+3)>=sum lim_text{cyc}(a)/(a^2+3) Let a, b and c be positive numbers such that abc=1. Prove that: 1/(a+3)+1/(b+3)+1/(c+3)>=a/(a^2+3)+b/(b^2+3)+c/(c^2+3)

For a b c = 1 prove that cyc 1 a + 3 cyc a a 2 + 3
I tried TL, BW, the Vasc's Theorems and more, but without success.
I proved this inequality!
I proved also the hardest version: c y c 1 a + 4 c y c a a 2 + 4
Thanks all!

BW in the following version does not help.
Let a = x 3 , b = y 3 and c = z 3
Hence, we need to prove that
c y c 1 x 3 + 3 x y z c y c x 3 x 6 + 3 x 2 y 2 z 2
or
c y c 1 x 3 + 3 x y z c y c x x 4 + 3 y 2 z 2 .
Now, we can assume that x = min { x , y , z }, y = x + u and z = x + v
and these substitutions give inequality, which I don't know to prove.
But we can use another BW!
Let a = y x , b = z y and c = x z , where x, y and z are positives.
Hence, we need to prove that
c y c x 3 x + y c y c x y 3 x 2 + y 2
or
c y c x 3 x 2 y ( 3 x + y ) ( 3 x 2 + y 2 ) 0.
Now, let x = min { x , y , z }, y = x + u and z = x + v
Hence, we need to prove that
128 ( u 2 u v + v 2 ) x 7 + 16 ( 16 u 3 + 23 u 2 v 15 u v 2 + 16 v 3 ) x 6 +
+ 32 ( 8 u 4 + 27 u 3 v + 12 u 2 v 2 11 u v 3 + 8 v 4 ) x 5 +
+ 4 ( 32 u 5 + 193 u 4 v + 266 u 3 v 2 42 u 2 v 3 33 u v 4 + 32 v 5 ) x 4 +
+ 2 ( 8 u 6 + 178 u 5 v + 435 u 4 v 2 + 152 u 3 v 3 99 u 2 v 4 + 30 u v 5 + 8 v 6 ) x 3 +
+ u v ( 45 u 5 + 375 u 4 v + 291 u 3 v 2 83 u 2 v 3 + 57 u v 4 + 3 v 5 ) x 2 +
+ 2 u 2 v 2 ( 24 u 4 + 66 u 3 v 18 u 2 v 2 + 13 u v 3 + 3 v 4 ) x +
+ u 3 v 3 ( 18 u 3 6 u 2 v + 3 u v 2 + v 3 ) 0 ,
which is obvious.
Done!
