If $a_i >0$ ($i=1, 2, \cdots , n$) and $\sum \limits_{i=1}^n a_i^k=1$, where $1\leq k\leq n+1$, then $$\sum \limits_{i=1}^n a_i + \frac{1}{\prod \limits_{i=1}^n a_i} \geq n^{1-\frac{1}{k}}+n^{\frac{n}{k}}$$
Let $ABC$ be a triangle with semiperimeter $s$ and inradius $r$. The semicircles with diameters $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ are drawn on the outside of the triangle $ABC$.

Prove that \[\frac{s}{2}<t\le\frac{s}{2}+\left(1-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)r. \] [i]Alternative formulation.[/i] In a triangle $ABC$, construct circles with diameters $BC$, $CA$, and $AB$, respectively. Construct a circle $w$ externally tangent to these three circles. Let the radius of this circle $w$ be $t$.
