SUMMARY

The inequality \( 1-(\lambda-(m+1)) \cdot \frac{m!}{\lambda^{m+1}} \cdot \sum_{j=0}^{m} \frac{\lambda^j}{j!} \leq \frac{\lambda}{(\lambda-(m+1))^2} \) can be proven under the condition \( m+1 < \lambda \). Utilizing properties of inequalities, specifically the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and the AM-GM inequality, the expression can be manipulated to demonstrate that the left-hand side is indeed less than or equal to the right-hand side. The proof involves expanding and simplifying both sides of the inequality to establish the required relationship.

Hallo, can someone help me to proof this inequality:

$$ 1-(\lambda-(m+1)) \cdot \frac{m!}{\lambda^{m+1}} \cdot \sum_{j=0}^{m} \frac{\lambda^j}{j!} \leq \frac{\lambda}{(\lambda-(m+1))^2} $$ under condition $$ m+1 < \lambda $$.

We will use the following properties:1. For any positive number a and b, we have a^2+b^2 \geq 2ab 2. For any non-negative numbers x and y, we have x+y \geq 2\sqrt{xy}We can rewrite the inequality as follows:\frac{1-(\lambda-(m+1)) \cdot \frac{m!}{\lambda^{m+1}} \cdot \sum_{j=0}^{m} \frac{\lambda^j}{j!}}{\frac{\lambda}{(\lambda-(m+1))^2}} \leq 1 Using property 1 we obtain:(1-(\lambda-(m+1)) \cdot \frac{m!}{\lambda^{m+1}} \cdot \sum_{j=0}^{m} \frac{\lambda^j}{j!})^2 \leq (\frac{\lambda}{(\lambda-(m+1))^2})^2 Expanding the left hand side of this inequality gives us:1-2(\lambda-(m+1)) \cdot \frac{m!}{\lambda^{m+1}} \cdot \sum_{j=0}^{m} \frac{\lambda^j}{j!}+(\lambda-(m+1))^2 \cdot \frac{m!^2}{\lambda^{2(m+1)}} \cdot \left(\sum_{j=0}^{m} \frac{\lambda^j}{j!}\right)^2 \leq \frac{\lambda^2}{(\lambda-(m+1))^4}Using property 2 for the term in the middle on the left hand side of the inequality gives us:1-2(\lambda-(m+1))^2 \cdot \frac{m!^2}{\lambda^{2(m+1)}} \cdot \sum_{j=0}^{m} \frac{\lambda^j}{j!} +(\lambda-(m+1))^2 \cdot \frac{m!^2}{\lambda^{2(m+1)}} \cdot \left(\sum_{j=0}^{m
