Problem Statement

a) Determine the largest real number AA with the following property: For all non-negative real numbers x,y,zx,y,z, one has 1+yz1+x2+1+zx1+y2+1+xy1+z2A.\frac{1+yz}{1+x^2}+\frac{1+zx}{1+y^2}+\frac{1+xy}{1+z^2} \ge A. b) For this real number AA, find all triples (x,y,z)(x,y,z) of non-negative real numbers for which equality holds in the above inequality.
