Let $a;bge 0$. Prove that inequality $$frac2aba+b+sqrtfraca^2+b^22ge sqrtab+fraca+b2$$
My try: $LHS-RHS=frac2aba+b-fraca+b2+sqrtfraca^2+b^22-sqrtabge 0$
Or $-fracleft(a-bright)^22left(a+bright)+fracleft(a-bright)^22left(sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtabright)ge 0$
Or $left(a-bright)^2left(frac12left(sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtabright)-frac12left(a+bright)right)ge 0$
Then i can't prove $frac12left(sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtabright)ge frac12left(a+bright)$
I squared the two sides of the inequality but the exponential is hard to solve. And I can see $HM+QMge AM+GM$ with $n=2$ so is that true for $n=i$?

Note that $$beginalignsqrtfraca^2+b^22-sqrtab&=fracleft(fraca^2+b^22right)-absqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtab=frac2left(fraca-b2right)^2sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtab
endalign$$
If we can show that
$$sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtableq a+b,,$$
then
$$sqrtfraca^2+b^22-sqrtabgeq frac2left(fraca-b2right)^2a+b=fraca+b2-frac2aba+b,,$$
which is equivalent to what we need to prove.
Note that $$beginalign
sqrtfraca^2+b^22&=sqrtleft(fraca+b2right)^2+left(fraca-b2right)^2
\
&=sqrtleft(fraca+b2right)^2+left(fracsqrta-sqrtbsqrt2right)^2,left(fracsqrta+sqrtbsqrt2right)^2
\
&=sqrtleft(fraca+b2right)^2+left(fracsqrta-sqrtbsqrt2right)^2left(left(fracsqrta-sqrtbsqrt2right)^2+2sqrtabright)
\
&=sqrtleft(fraca+b2right)^2+2sqrtableft(fracsqrta-sqrtbsqrt2right)^2+left(fracsqrta-sqrtbsqrt2right)^4
\
&leqsqrtleft(fraca+b2right)^2+2left(fraca+b2right)left(fracsqrta-sqrtbsqrt2right)^2+left(fracsqrta-sqrtbsqrt2right)^4
\
&=fraca+b2+left(fracsqrta-sqrtbsqrt2right)^2,.endalign$$
Thus,
$$sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtableq a+b,.$$
I think you can use Cauchy-Schwarz's inequality for prove $sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtableq a+b,.$ it's easy than yours, btw thank you.

This Problem is well known.
Note that $$fraca+b2-frac2aba+b=frac(a+b)^2-4ab2(a+b)$$
after squaring two times you will get
$$left(frac(a+b)^22-frac(a-b)^44(a+b)^2right)^2geq 4ableft(fraca^2+b^22right)$$
Doing this Algebra you will get
$$frac116frac(a-b)^8(a+b)^4geq 0$$ which is true.
Thanks Dr.Son now i know your solution.

An alternative approach, let
$$
u = fraca + b2 quad textand quad v = ab
$$
so that the inequality becomes
$$
fracvu + sqrt2u^2 - v ge sqrtv + u.
$$
Since the original inequality is homogeneous, and clearly true for $a = b = 0$, we can without loss of generality set $u = 1$. Then letting $v = 1 + x$ reduces the inequality to
$$
x ge sqrt1 + x - sqrt1 - x quad (textfor,, x le 0)
$$
which is shown fairly easily. The condition comes from
$$
u = 1 implies b = 2 - a implies x = a(2 - a) - 1 = -(a-1)^2 le 0.
$$
Nice solutions are written here!

I think this is the simplest solution:
So you are stuck here:
$$frac12left(sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtabright)ge frac12left(a+bright)$$
...which is equivalent to:
$$sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtable a+btag1$$
Apply Jensen inequality:
$$fracf(x_1)+...+f(x_n)nle f(fracx_1+...+x_nn)$$
...for concave function $f(x)=sqrtx$ and $x_1=fraca^2+b^22$, $x_2=ab$:
$$fracsqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtab2le sqrtfracfraca^2+b^22+ab2tag2$$
Simplify (2) and you get (1) directly.
That is a good solution too.

Thanks everyone i had the answer for my stuck.
We have : $$LHS-RHS=frac2aba+b-fraca+b2+sqrtfraca^2+b^22-sqrtabge 0$$
Or $$-fracleft(a-bright)^22left(a+bright)+fracleft(a-bright)^22left(sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtabright)ge 0$$
Or $$left(a-bright)^2left(frac12left(sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtabright)-frac12left(a+bright)right)ge 0$$
Then i need to prove $$frac12left(sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtabright)ge frac12left(a+bright)$$
Or $sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtableq a+b$. Which's true by C-S $$left(sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtabright)^2le 2left(fraca^2+b^22+abright)=left(a+bright)^2$$

Let $a^2+b^2=2t^2ab$, where $t>0$.
Thus, by AM-GM $tgeq1$ and we need to prove that
$$frac2absqrta^2+b^2+2ab+sqrtfraca^2+b^22geqsqrtab+fracsqrta^2+b^2+2ab2$$ or
$$sqrtfrac2t^2+1+tgeq1+sqrtfract^2+12$$ or
$$t-1geqsqrtfract^2+12-sqrtfrac2t^2+1$$ or
$$t-1geqfract^2-1sqrt2(t^2+1)$$ or
$$sqrt2(t^2+1)geq t+1,$$ which is true by C-S:
$$sqrt2(t^2+1)=sqrt(1^2+1^2)(t^2+1)geq t+1.$$
Done!

This Problem is well known.
Note that $$fraca+b2-frac2aba+b=frac(a+b)^2-4ab2(a+b)$$
after squaring two times you will get
$$left(frac(a+b)^22-frac(a-b)^44(a+b)^2right)^2geq 4ableft(fraca^2+b^22right)$$
Doing this Algebra you will get
$$frac116frac(a-b)^8(a+b)^4geq 0$$ which is true.

An alternative approach, let
$$
u = fraca + b2 quad textand quad v = ab
$$
so that the inequality becomes
$$
fracvu + sqrt2u^2 - v ge sqrtv + u.
$$
Since the original inequality is homogeneous, and clearly true for $a = b = 0$, we can without loss of generality set $u = 1$. Then letting $v = 1 + x$ reduces the inequality to
$$
x ge sqrt1 + x - sqrt1 - x quad (textfor,, x le 0)
$$
which is shown fairly easily. The condition comes from
$$
u = 1 implies b = 2 - a implies x = a(2 - a) - 1 = -(a-1)^2 le 0.
$$
Nice solutions are written here!

An alternative approach, let
$$
u = fraca + b2 quad textand quad v = ab
$$
so that the inequality becomes
$$
fracvu + sqrt2u^2 - v ge sqrtv + u.
$$
Since the original inequality is homogeneous, and clearly true for $a = b = 0$, we can without loss of generality set $u = 1$. Then letting $v = 1 + x$ reduces the inequality to
$$
x ge sqrt1 + x - sqrt1 - x quad (textfor,, x le 0)
$$
which is shown fairly easily. The condition comes from
$$
u = 1 implies b = 2 - a implies x = a(2 - a) - 1 = -(a-1)^2 le 0.

I think this is the simplest solution:
So you are stuck here:
$$frac12left(sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtabright)ge frac12left(a+bright)$$
...which is equivalent to:
$$sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtable a+btag1$$
Apply Jensen inequality:
$$fracf(x_1)+...+f(x_n)nle f(fracx_1+...+x_nn)$$
...for concave function $f(x)=sqrtx$ and $x_1=fraca^2+b^22$, $x_2=ab$:
$$fracsqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtab2le sqrtfracfraca^2+b^22+ab2tag2$$
Simplify (2) and you get (1) directly.
That is a good solution too.

@NguyễnDuyLinh As I suggested, posy your own solution as an answer. I will upvote it. Then, you will get more than 15 reputation points.

Thanks everyone i had the answer for my stuck.
We have : $$LHS-RHS=frac2aba+b-fraca+b2+sqrtfraca^2+b^22-sqrtabge 0$$
Or $$-fracleft(a-bright)^22left(a+bright)+fracleft(a-bright)^22left(sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtabright)ge 0$$
Or $$left(a-bright)^2left(frac12left(sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtabright)-frac12left(a+bright)right)ge 0$$
Then i need to prove $$frac12left(sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtabright)ge frac12left(a+bright)$$
Or $sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtableq a+b$. Which's true by C-S $$left(sqrtfraca^2+b^22+sqrtabright)^2le 2left(fraca^2+b^22+abright)=left(a+bright)^2$$

This is one of few cases that the OP answered his own question, and quite beautifully. An upvote is very well deserved.

Let $a^2+b^2=2t^2ab$, where $t>0$.
Thus, by AM-GM $tgeq1$ and we need to prove that
$$frac2absqrta^2+b^2+2ab+sqrtfraca^2+b^22geqsqrtab+fracsqrta^2+b^2+2ab2$$ or
$$sqrtfrac2t^2+1+tgeq1+sqrtfract^2+12$$ or
$$t-1geqsqrtfract^2+12-sqrtfrac2t^2+1$$ or
$$t-1geqfract^2-1sqrt2(t^2+1)$$ or
$$sqrt2(t^2+1)geq t+1,$$ which is true by C-S:
$$sqrt2(t^2+1)=sqrt(1^2+1^2)(t^2+1)geq t+1.$$
Done!
