Prove a strong inequality $sum_{k=1}^nfrac{k}{a_1+a_2+cdots+a_k}leleft(2-frac{7ln 2}{8ln...
$begingroup$
For $a_i>0$ ($i=1,2,dots,n$), $nge 3$, prove that
$$sum_{k=1}^nfrac{k}{a_1+a_2+cdots+a_k}leleft(2color{red}{-frac{7ln 2}{8ln n}}right)sum_{k=1}^nfrac 1{a_k}.$$
The case without $color{red}{-dfrac{7ln 2}{8ln n}}$ could be shown here. I have no idea how the $color{red}{text{red}}$ term comes from.
Note: This question should not be closed although there was a duplicated question $4$ years ago (see here). Duplicate of unanswered question suggests that if there is no accepted answer in the old question, the new question can stay open in the hope of attracting an answer.
The question comes from the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad training team and there is no answer provided.
