We note that the maximum M(n) of the ratio (Sum_{k=1..n} (x(1)*x(2)*...*x(k))^(1/k))/(x(1) + ... + x(n)) taken over x(1), ..., x(n) > 0 is equal to (1+sqrt(2))/2 for n=2 and 4/3 for n=3. Moreover it can be proved that M(n) < (1 + 1/n)^(n-1) - it is a finite version of Carleman's inequality (see the paper of Witula et al. for the proof). The sequence M(n), n=2,3,..., is increasing.
The decimal expansions of M(5) and M(6) are A219246 and A219336, respectively.
