The real numbers $\alpha_1 , \alpha_2, \alpha_3, \ldots, \alpha_n$ are positive. Let us denote by $h = \frac{n}{1/\alpha_1 + 1/\alpha_2 + \cdots + 1/\alpha_n}$ the harmonic mean, $g=\sqrt[n]{\alpha_1\alpha_2\cdots \alpha_n}$ the geometric mean, and $a=\frac{\alpha_1+\alpha_2+\cdots + \alpha_n}{n}$ the arithmetic mean. Prove that $h \leq g \leq a$, and that each of the equalities implies the other one.

Given any positive real number $\varepsilon$, prove that, for all but finitely many positive integers $v$, any graph on $v$ vertices with at least $(1+\varepsilon)v$ edges has two distinct simple cycles of equal lengths.
(Recall that the notion of a simple cycle does not allow repetition of vertices in a cycle.)

Denote by $m(a,b)$ the arithmetic mean of positive real numbers $a,b$. Given a positive real function $g$ having positive derivatives of the first and second order, define $\mu (a,b)$ the mean value of $a$ and $b$ with respect to $g$ by $2g(\mu (a,b)) = g(a)+g(b)$.
