On Carleman's inequality (Q5927591)

The aim of the paper is to prove that \[ \sum^{\infty}_{n=1} (a_1a_2\dots a_n)^{1/n} < e \sum^{\infty}_{n=1} c_n a_n, \] where \(a_n > 0\) and \(c_n=1-[2(n+1)]^{-1}-[24(n+1)^2]^{-1}- [48(n+1)^3]^{-1}\), \(n\in\mathbb N\). This is an improvement of the strengthened Carleman's inequality obtained by \textit{P. Yan} and \textit{G. Sun} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 240, No. 1, 290-293 (1999; Zbl 0041.26012)].
