TITLE: How prove this Stronger AM-GM inequality $\frac{n^2-1}{6}\min_{1\le i<j\le n}\left(\sqrt{a_{i}}-\sqrt{a_{j}}\right)^2\le A_{n}-G_{n}$
QUESTION [7 upvotes]: let $a_{i}>0,i=1,2,\cdots,n,n\ge 3$,show that
$$\dfrac{n^2-1}{6}\min_{1\le i<j\le n}\left(\sqrt{a_{i}}-\sqrt{a_{j}}\right)^2\le\dfrac{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{n}}{n}-\sqrt[n]{a_{1}a_{2}\cdots a_{n}}\le\dfrac{n-1}{n}\max_{1\le i<j\le n}\left(\sqrt{a_{i}}-\sqrt{a_{j}}\right)^2$$
let
$$A_{n}=\dfrac{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{n}}{n},G_{n}=\sqrt[n]{a_{1}a_{2}\cdots a_{n}}$$
then we have prove 
$$\dfrac{n^2-1}{6}\min_{1\le i<j\le n}\left(\sqrt{a_{i}}-\sqrt{a_{j}}\right)^2\le A_{n}-G_{n}\le\dfrac{n-1}{n}\max_{1\le i<j\le n}\left(\sqrt{a_{i}}-\sqrt{a_{j}}\right)^2$$
I found RHS if and only if $a_{k}=0,a_{1}=a_{2}=\cdots=a_{k-1}=a_{k+1}=\cdots=a_{n}$ .
and LHS if and only if $a_{k+1}-a_{k}=d$ ,where $d$ is constant,mean that $\{a_{n}\}$ is Arithmetic progression
I found sometimes and find this http://journals.math.tku.edu.tw/index.php/TKJM/article/viewFile/747/626
and  http://arxiv.org/pdf/1203.4454.pdf
and http://files.ele-math.com/articles/jmi-03-21.pdf
and  http://projecteuclid.org/download/pdf_1/euclid.rmjm/1181071887
and this paper prove this follow interesting result:
$$\dfrac{1}{2bn^2}\sum_{j<k}(x_{j}-x_{k})^2\le\dfrac{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{n}}{n}-\sqrt[n]{a_{1}a_{2}\cdots a_{n}}\le\dfrac{1}{2an^2}\sum_{j<k}(x_{j}-x_{k})^2$$

REPLY [5 votes]: We proceed by mixing variables. Without loss of generality, let $\max a_i=b$ and $\min a_i=a.$ Observe, that fixing the sum $S=\sum_{i=1}^n a_i$ we can choose two different $a_i\ge a_j$ and change them to $b\ge a_i'=a_i+\varepsilon$ and $a_j'=a_j-\varepsilon\ge a.$ The the left hand side of our inequality will increase and the right hand side remains the same. Applying this operation, we end up with $k$ numbers equal to $a,$ $n-k-1$ number equal to $b$ and $a\le a_{i_0}=c\le b.$ So we are left to maximize the function
$$f(c)=\frac{ka+(n-k-1)b+c}{n}-\sqrt[n]{a^kb^{n-k-1}c.}$$
 Since $f''(c)>0,$ the function $f$ is concave down and attains its maximum on the interval $[a,b]$ at one of the end points. Without loss of generality $c=b.$ Then,
 $$f(b)=\frac{ka+(n-k)b}{n}-\sqrt[n]{a^kb^{n-k}}\le \frac{n-1}{n}(a-2\sqrt{ab}+b)$$
 which is equivalent to 
 $$\frac{(n-1-k)a+(k-1)b+n\sqrt[n]{a^kb^{n-k}}}{2(n-1)}\ge \sqrt{ab}.$$
 The latter immediately follows from Cauchy applied to $2n-2$ numbers.
In exactly the same way one can prove the LHS of our inequality.
