SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on proving the inequality involving the function \( p(y) \) and its integrals, specifically the expression: \[ \int^\infty_0y^\frac{2(n-1)}{n}p(y)\,\mathrm{d}y\Big(\int^\infty_0y^\frac{1}{n}p(y)\,\mathrm{d}y\Big)^2>\int^\infty_0y^\frac{2}{n}p(y)\,\mathrm{d}y\Big(\int^\infty_0y^\frac{(n-1)}{n}p(y)\,\mathrm{d}y\Big)^2 \] for integer \( n \geq 2 \). The discussion highlights that when \( n = 2 \), both sides of the inequality are equal, indicating that the inequality does not hold in this case. The participants seek expert assistance in proving the inequality for other integer values of \( n \).
