An inequality with constraints.

I came across a result in a control theory book (without proof), which states that:



Given two variables $x,z in mathbb{R}$ and four parameters $c_{1}, c_{2}, k_{1}, k_{2}$ with $c_{1}, c_{2} > 0$. A function $f(x,z)$ is defined as



begin{align}
f(x,z) &= -c_{1}x^{2} - x^{4} + z[x-k_{1}z - k_{2}x^{2}z + (c_{1}-sin x)(-c_{1}x - x^{3} + z)]
end{align}



The book reads that if we choose $k_{1} > c_{2} + c_{1} + 1 + dfrac{(c_{1}^{2}+c_{1}+1)^{2}}{2c_{1}}$ and $k_{2} ge dfrac{(c_{1}+1)^2}{4}$, then $f(x,z) le -dfrac{1}{2}c_{1}x^{2} - c_{2}z^{2}$.



I am trying to prove such result, but no luck. Now, I am trying to expand every term of $f(x,z)$ to apply the AM-GM inequality, but it does not go anywhere. Do you have any suggestion/hint on this problem? Thanks a lot!

    I noticed that in the function definition, no $c_2$ arises, so it seems strange that the result should depend on $c_2$. Could you please check?

  • Thanks @Andreas. I have checked it and it was correct. Although $c_{2}$ is not explicitly present in $f(x,z)$ but it is included in $k_{1}$, which is inside $f(x,z)$. Therefore, the result should depend on $c_{2}$.
