Problem
Show that the inequality
![\[\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n \sqrt{|x_i-x_j|} \le \sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n \sqrt{|x_i+x_j|}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/6/2/6/6264c77345de1aea2a587da1100b58af528389ae.png)
holds for all real numbers 
.
Solution
then, since ![\[\sqrt{x}\geq 0, \sum_{i=1}^{n}\sum_{j=1}^{n}(\sqrt{x_i-x_j}^4)\leq \sum_{i=1}^{n}\sum_{j=1}^{n}(\sqrt{x_i+x_j}^4)\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/a/5/4a5f541df30d5df60b52ad7dee594f769c8008d2.png)
then,
![\[\sum \sum x_i^2+x_j^2-2x_ix_j \leq \sum \sum x_i^2+x_j^2+2x_ix_j \to \sum \sum 4x_ix_j\geq 0,\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/6/7/c67fc8a9bc1b1ce4747d189f3c74f195ee2125f2.png)
therefore we have to prove that
![\[\sum \sum a_ia_j\geq 0\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/3/c/83cec7b6308bfa46b4fdb55946477d7d7c82ea87.png)
for every list 
,
and we can describe this to
![\[\sum \sum a_ia_j=\sum a_i^2 + \sum\sum a_ia_j(i\neq j)\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/1/c/e/1ce4fb46048728bb733357570892c32578c0c0b8.png)
we know that
![\[\frac{a_i^2}{2}+\frac{a_j^2}{2} \geq |a_ia_j|\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/6/1/f/61f0dcafdcd7e863aa1465d38f9316d5c1075684.png)
therefore, ![\[a_i^2+a_j^2 \geq -(a_ia_j+a_ja_i)\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/a/e/8/ae8807e864a6aa0854a87b56573cee3c92ed4081.png)
![\[\to \sum a_i^2 + \sum\sum a_ia_j \geq 0\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/d/e/edebc20ea086aeb91fcf55781d4996aa928388d0.png)
![\[Q.E.D.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/b/c/7/bc779cb200fbc15c503e7049874b39ad6f0d1f8a.png)
