  • Session A

Let 0<α<β<γ∈R0<\alpha<\beta <\gamma\in \mathbb{R} . Let K={(x,y,z)∈R3  ∣x,y,z≥0andxβ+yβ+zβ=1}K=\{(x,y,z)\in \mathbb{R}^{3}\;| x,y,z\geq 0 \text{and} x^{\beta}+y^{\beta}+z^{\beta}=1\} . Define f:K→R,(x,y,z)↦xα+yβ+zγf:K\rightarrow \mathbb{R}, (x,y,z)\mapsto x^{\alpha}+y^{\beta}+z^{\gamma} . At what points of KK does ff assume its minimal and maximal values?
