Review text

The authors have started a long-term project aiming to generalize results expressed in terms of angles of a triangle to the case where the sum of the three angles is positive and at most \(\pi\). In the main result of the paper under review it is shown that the inequality \[ \sum \cot ^2 \frac{\theta -A}{2} \geq -3\cos \theta \csc \frac{\theta}{3} \cot \frac{\theta}{3} +12 \csc \frac{\theta}{3} \cot \frac{2\theta}{3} \prod \cos \frac{\theta -A}{2} \] is valid for all positive real numbers \(A\), \(B\), \(C\) with sum \(\theta\leq \pi\). The particular case \(\theta = \pi\) is known as the Garfunkel-Bankoff inequality. As an application of the main result, a generalized version of the Finsler-Hadwiger inequality is obtained: for real \(\lambda \geq 1\) and any triangle with sides \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), area \(F\), circumradius \(R\) and inradius \(r\) one has \[ \sum a^{2\lambda} \geq 4^\lambda \cdot 3^{1-\lambda} \cdot (4-2r/R)^{\lambda /2} F^\lambda + \sum |a-b|^{2\lambda}. \]
