I did lots of tests using computer program, and the inequality stands.
To prove it, I have tried the triangle inequality, mathematical induction and anything else that I can think of, and I failed.
In the triangle inequality, the number of the items in one side is twice as the other side. However,in this inequality there are n^2 items in LHS and n*(n-1) items in RHS.

    $\begingroup$ I cannot see what makes this question off-topic. The inequality is obviously false for an arbitrary metric space, but the restriction that the vectors are in $\mathbb{R}^n$ makes it quite plausible. Can anyone explain why this was put on hold? $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 26, 2015 at 11:24
  • $\begingroup$ @Dongryul, evidently, it was put on hold because 5 people agreed that it was not about research-level mathematics. If you and/or Bob can convince 5 people that it is about research-level mathematics, you can get it reopened. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 27, 2015 at 6:17
