If you are interested in IMO $1983$ please see:
$$3[a^2b(a-b)+b^2c(b-c)+c^2a(c-a)]geqq b(a+b-c)(a-c)(c-b),$$
where $a,b,c$ are three side-lengths of a triangle.



If $c≠rm mida,b,c$, the inequality is true, obviously! If $c=rm mid a,b,c$, we have $$(a - c)(c - b)= 0 Leftrightarrow c= fracc^2+aba+b.$$
I tried to prove that
$$f(c)- fleft(fracc^2+aba+bright)=(a - c)(c - b)Xgeqq 0,$$
where $$f(c)= 3[a^2b(a - b) + b^2c(b - c) + c^2a(c - a)]- b(a + b - c)(a - c)(c - b),$$
but without success! I found this inequality by using discriminant and some coefficient skills.



Hope you try to solve the rest on your own! Good luck everybody! Thank you so much!

Consider three cases.




  1. $a=maxa,b,c$, $a=x+u+v,$ $b=x+u$ and $c=x+v$, where $x>0$, $ugeq0$ and $vgeq0.$

Thus, $$3[a^2b(a-b)+b^2c(b-c)+c^2a(c-a)]-b(a+b-c)(a-c)(c-b)=$$
$$=(4u^2-4uv+3v^2)x^2+3(2u^3+u^2v-uv^2+v^3)x+2u^3(u+2v)geq0;$$




  1. $b=maxa,b,c$, $b=x+u+v,$ $a=x+u$ and $c=x+v$, where $x>0$, $ugeq0$ and $vgeq0.$

Thus, $$3[a^2b(a-b)+b^2c(b-c)+c^2a(c-a)]-b(a+b-c)(a-c)(c-b)=$$
$$=(4u^2-4uv+3v^2)x^2+(6u^3-5u^2v+5uv^2+3v^3)x+2u(u^3-uv^2+3v^3)geq0$$ and




  1. $c=maxa,b,c$, $c=x+u+v,$ $a=x+u$ and $b=x+v$, where $x>0$, $ugeq0$ and $vgeq0.$

Thus, $$3[a^2b(a-b)+b^2c(b-c)+c^2a(c-a)]-b(a+b-c)(a-c)(c-b)=$$
$$=(3u^2-2uv+3v^2)x^2+(3u^3+6u^2v-2uv^2+3v^3)x+6u^3vgeq0$$ and we are done!



Actually, the following stronger inequality is also true.




Let $a$, $b$ and $c$ be sides-lengths of a triangle. Prove that:
$$a^2b(a-b)+b^2c(b-c)+c^2a(c-a)geq b(a+b-c)(a-c)(c-b).$$
