    Hard Inequality

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around proving two forms of an inequality involving variables \(a\) and \(t\) within the interval (0,1). The focus is on both a weaker and a stronger form of the inequality, with participants engaging in clarifications and mathematical reasoning.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests proof for the inequality \(\ln(1+t^a) \geq a\ln^a(1+t)\) and its stronger form \(\ln(1+t^a) \geq \frac{1+a}{2}\ln^a(1+t)\).
  • Another participant questions whether the right-hand side of the weaker form should be \((1 + t)^a\) instead of \(\ln^a(1+t)\).
  • Several participants engage in a meta-discussion about the appropriateness of language and behavior in the forum, with one expressing frustration over perceived disrespect towards younger members.
  • A later reply claims to have proved the stronger form of the inequality, presenting it as \(\ln(1+t^a) > \ln^{1-a}2\ln^a(1+t)\) or equivalently \(\log_2(1+t^a) > \log_2^a(1+t)\), along with some generalizations.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express disagreement regarding the clarity of the original question and the appropriateness of responses. There is no consensus on the proof of the inequalities, and multiple viewpoints on the language used in the discussion are present.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express confusion over the original question's wording, indicating a potential barrier to understanding the mathematical claims being discussed. The discussion also reflects a mix of technical inquiry and interpersonal dynamics among participants.

Hi, folks,

I need the proof of following inequality for a,t\in(0,1):

Weaker form: \ln(1+t^a)\geq a\ln^a(1+t).

Stronger form: \ln(1+t^a)\geq\frac{1+a}2\ln^a(1+t).

For the weaker form, on the right hand side do you mean (1 + t) ^ a?
 
Can you please rite your ques. in a proper way...
 
You mean using words like "please" and "rite"? Other than that, what is wrong with the way he wrote it?
 
first of all it's not an english forum site..
n secondly i ain't sayin that to you...
you better behave well..

Yes, it is not an english forum site, but you have to know what you are saying, and actually what you need to do is have respect for the members here, especially for our honored experts like HallsofIvy. SO, if anyone here needs to well behave, than that is most certainly YOU!

Regards!
 
i didn't understood his question so i wrote that blog.
i wasn't abusive..
i just requested him to rewrite his question so i can understand it...
i was behaving well but your honored expert was having a problem with that thing..
i mean i am only 16 years old and yet i am trying to solve that problem and you people are not supporting me instead using harsh language with me..

This is what set them off, anyone with a right mind would take it as a threat/warning, which is clearly inappropriate.

Sorry I cannot help, but find this question very interesting: I will now go and search for meaning to "weaker" and "stronger" forms of inequalities which you have used.
 
I proved the stronger form

\ln(1+t^a)>\ln^{1-a}2\ln^a(1+t)

or equivalently

\log_2(1+t^a)>\log_2^a(1+t)

and some generalisations.
