Problem Statement

For those real numbers x1,x2,,x2011x_1 , x_2 , \ldots , x_{2011} where each of which satisfies 0x110 \le x_1 \le 1 (i=1,2,,2011i = 1 , 2 , \ldots , 2011), find the maximum of x13+x23++x20113(x1x2x3+x2x3x4++x2011x1x2) x_1^3+x_2^3+ \cdots + x_{2011}^3 - \left( x_1x_2x_3 + x_2x_3x_4 + \cdots + x_{2011}x_1x_2 \right)
