$\frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{36} + \frac{7}{144} + . . . + \frac{2 n + 1}{n^{2} {(n + 1)}^{2}}$

$= 1 - \frac{1}{2^{2}} + \frac{1}{2^{2}} - \frac{1}{3^{2}} + \frac{1}{3^{2}} - \frac{1}{4^{2}} + . . . + \frac{1}{{(n - 1)}^{2}} + \frac{1}{n^{2}}$

$= 1 - \frac{1}{n^{2}} < 1$

$\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{5}{36}+\dfrac{7}{144}+...+\dfrac{2n+1}{n^2\left(n+1\right)^2}$

$=1-\dfrac{1}{2^2}+\dfrac{1}{2^2}-\dfrac{1}{3^2}+\dfrac{1}{3^2}-\dfrac{1}{4^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{\left(n-1\right)^2}+\dfrac{1}{n^2}$

$=1-\dfrac{1}{n^2}< 1$

Ta có: $\dfrac{2n+1}{n^2\left(n+1\right)^2}=\dfrac{\left(n+1\right)^2-n^2}{n^2\left(n+1\right)^2}=\dfrac{1}{n^2}-\dfrac{1}{\left(n+1\right)^2}$

Do đó $\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{5}{36}+\dfrac{7}{144}+...+\dfrac{2n+1}{n^2\left(n+1\right)^2}$

$=1-\dfrac{1}{2^2}+\dfrac{1}{2^2}-\dfrac{1}{3^2}+\dfrac{1}{3^2}-\dfrac{1}{4^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{n^2}-\dfrac{1}{\left(n+1\right)^2}$

$=1-\dfrac{1}{\left(n+1\right)^2}< 1$

Vậy $\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{5}{36}+\dfrac{7}{144}+...+\dfrac{2n+1}{n^2\left(n+1\right)^2}< 1\forall n\in$N*

i have a solution but it's ugly

If $a = b = 1$

and $c = 0$ then we get a value $2 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

We'll prove that it's a minimal value. Thus, we need to prove that

$\sqrt{\frac{a b + b c + c a}{a^{2} + b^{2}}} + \sqrt{\frac{a b + b c + c a}{b^{2} + c^{2}}} + \sqrt{\frac{a b + b c + c a}{a^{2} + c^{2}}} \geq 2 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

WLOG $c = min {a, b, c}$

. Hence:

$\frac{a b + a c + b c}{a^{2} + b^{2}} - \frac{(a + c) (b + c)}{(a + c)^{2} + (b + c)^{2}} = \frac{c (a + b + 2 c) (2 a b + a c + b c)}{a^{2} + b^{2}) ((a + c)^{2} + (b + c)^{2}} \geq 0$

Similar $\frac{a b + a c + b c}{a^{2} + c^{2}} - \frac{b + c}{a + c} = \frac{c (2 a b + a c - c^{2})}{(a + c) (a^{2} + c^{2})} \geq 0$

And $\frac{a b + a c + b c}{b^{2} + c^{2}} - \frac{a + c}{b + c} = \frac{c (2 a b + b c - c^{2})}{(b + c) (b^{2} + c^{2})} \geq 0$

Let $\frac{a + c}{b + c} = x^{2}; \frac{b + c}{a + c} = y^{2} (x, y > 0)$

$\Rightarrow x y = 1$

and we have:

$x + y + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}} \geq 2 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\Leftrightarrow x + y - 2 \sqrt{x y} \geq \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}}$

$\Leftrightarrow (\sqrt{x} - \sqrt{y})^{2} \geq \frac{(x - y)^{2}}{\sqrt{2 (x^{2} + y^{2})} (\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} + \sqrt{2})}$

$\Leftrightarrow \sqrt{2 (x^{2} + y^{2})} (\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} + \sqrt{2}) \geq (\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y})^{2}$

By Cauchy-Schwarz's ine we have:

$\sqrt{2 (x^{2} + y^{2})} = \sqrt{(1^{2} + 1^{2}) (x^{2} + y^{2})} \geq x + y$

$= \frac{1}{2} (1^{2} + 1^{2}) ((\sqrt{x})^{2} + (\sqrt{y})^{2}) \geq \frac{1}{2} (\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y})^{2}$

Thus, it's enough to prove that $\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} + \sqrt{2} \geq 2$

It's true by AM-GM $\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} + \sqrt{2} \geq \sqrt{2 x y} + \sqrt{2} = 2 \sqrt{2} > 2$

If $a=b=1$ and $c=0$ then we get a value $2+\frac{1}{\sqrt2}$

We'll prove that it's a minimal value. Thus, we need to prove that

$\sqrt{\dfrac{ab+bc+ca}{a^2+b^2}}+\sqrt{\dfrac{ab+bc+ca}{b^2+c^2}}+\sqrt{\dfrac{ab+bc+ca}{a^2+c^2}}\ge2+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

WLOG $c=\min\{a,b,c\}$. Hence:

$\dfrac{ab+ac+bc}{a^2+b^2}-\dfrac{(a+c)(b+c)}{(a+c)^2+(b+c)^2}=\dfrac{c(a+b+2c)(2ab+ac+bc)}{a^2+b^2)((a+c)^2+(b+c)^2}\ge0$

Similar$\dfrac{ab+ac+bc}{a^2+c^2}-\dfrac{b+c}{a+c}=\dfrac{c(2ab+ac-c^2)}{(a+c)(a^2+c^2)}\ge0$

And $\dfrac{ab+ac+bc}{b^2+c^2}-\dfrac{a+c}{b+c}=\dfrac{c(2ab+bc-c^2)}{(b+c)(b^2+c^2)}\ge0$

Let $\dfrac{a+c}{b+c}=x^2;\dfrac{b+c}{a+c}=y^2\left(x,y>0\right)$$\Rightarrow xy=1$ and we have:

$x+y+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}\ge2+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\Leftrightarrow x+y-2\sqrt{xy}\ge\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}$

$\Leftrightarrow(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{y})^2\ge\dfrac{(x-y)^2}{\sqrt{2(x^2+y^2)}(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}+\sqrt{2})}$

$\Leftrightarrow\sqrt{2(x^2+y^2)}(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}+\sqrt{2})\ge(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y})^2$

By Cauchy-Schwarz's ine we have:

$\sqrt{2(x^2+y^2)}=\sqrt{(1^2+1^2)(x^2+y^2)}\ge x+y$

$=\dfrac{1}{2}(1^2+1^2)((\sqrt{x})^2+(\sqrt{y})^2)\ge\dfrac{1}{2}(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y})^2$

Thus, it's enough to prove that $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}+\sqrt{2}\ge2$

It's true by AM-GM $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}+\sqrt{2}\ge\sqrt{2xy}+\sqrt{2}=2\sqrt{2}>2$

⇒anbn+cn≥bncn+an≥cnan+bn

By Chebyshev's inequality we have:

∑ambn+cn=∑am−n⋅anbn+cn

≥am−n+bm−n+cm−n3⋅∑anbn+cn

≥∑am−n+bm−n+cm−n2

My try: WLOG $a\ge b\ge c$ hence we have: $a^{m-n}\ge b^{m-n}\ge c^{m-n}$

$\Rightarrow\dfrac{a^n}{b^n+c^n}\ge\dfrac{b^n}{c^n+a^n}\ge\dfrac{c^n}{a^n+b^n}$

By Chebyshev's inequality we have:

$\text{∑}\dfrac{a^m}{b^n+c^n}=\text{∑}a^{m-n}\cdot\dfrac{a^n}{b^n+c^n}$

$\ge\dfrac{a^{m-n}+b^{m-n}+c^{m-n}}{3}\cdot\text{∑}\dfrac{a^n}{b^n+c^n}$

$\ge\text{∑}\dfrac{a^{m-n}+b^{m-n}+c^{m-n}}{2}$

We're done when $a=b=c$

$=\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{1.2}-\dfrac{1}{2.3}+\dfrac{1}{2.3}-\dfrac{1}{3.4}+...+\dfrac{1}{\left(n-1\right)n}-\dfrac{1}{n\left(n+2\right)}\right)$

For any natural number n > 1,we have :

(n - 1)n(n + 1) = n(n2 - 1) = n3 - n < n3

⇒1n3<1(n−1)n(n+1)

1(n−1)n(n+1)=1n.1(n−1)(n+1)

=1n.(n+1)−(n−1)(n−1)(n+1).12=12.1n.(1n−1−1n+1)

=12.(1(n−1)n−1n(n+1))

Now we have :

E < 12.3.4+13.4.5+14.5.6+...+1(n−1)n(n+1)

=12(12.3−13.4)+12(13.4−14.5)+12(14.5−15.6)+...+12(1(n−1)n−1n(n+1))

=12(12.3−1n(n+1))=112−12n(n+1)<112

Hence,E<112

For any natural number n > 1,we have :

(n - 1)n(n + 1) = n(n² - 1) = n³ - n < n³

$\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{n^3}< \dfrac{1}{\left(n-1\right)n\left(n+1\right)}$

$\dfrac{1}{\left(n-1\right)n\left(n+1\right)}=\dfrac{1}{n}.\dfrac{1}{\left(n-1\right)\left(n+1\right)}$

$=\dfrac{1}{n}.\dfrac{\left(n+1\right)-\left(n-1\right)}{\left(n-1\right)\left(n+1\right)}.\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}.\dfrac{1}{n}.\left(\dfrac{1}{n-1}-\dfrac{1}{n+1}\right)$

$=\dfrac{1}{2}.\left(\dfrac{1}{\left(n-1\right)n}-\dfrac{1}{n\left(n+1\right)}\right)$

Now we have :

E < $\dfrac{1}{2.3.4}+\dfrac{1}{3.4.5}+\dfrac{1}{4.5.6}+...+\dfrac{1}{\left(n-1\right)n\left(n+1\right)}$

$=\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{2.3}-\dfrac{1}{3.4}\right)+\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{3.4}-\dfrac{1}{4.5}\right)+\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{4.5}-\dfrac{1}{5.6}\right)+...+\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{\left(n-1\right)n}-\dfrac{1}{n\left(n+1\right)}\right)$

$=\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{2.3}-\dfrac{1}{n\left(n+1\right)}\right)=\dfrac{1}{12}-\dfrac{1}{2n\left(n+1\right)}< \dfrac{1}{12}$

Hence,$E< \dfrac{1}{12}$
