SUMMARY
The inequality challenge requires proving that for real numbers \( l, m, n \) where \( l \ge m \ge n > 0 \), the expression \( \frac{l^2 - m^2}{n} + \frac{n^2 - m^2}{l} + \frac{l^2 - n^2}{m} \ge 3l - 4m + n \) holds true. This problem has remained unresolved for several months until a participant named kaliprasad provided a solution, prompting further discussion and collaboration among forum members. The engagement highlights the importance of community support in tackling complex mathematical inequalities.
