Problem Statement

Let F={f:[0,1][0,)f\mathcal F = \{ f: [0,1] \to [0,\infty) \mid f continuous }\} and nn an integer, n2n\geq 2. Find the smallest real constant cc such that for any fFf\in \mathcal F the following inequality takes place 01f(xn)dxc01f(x)dx. \int^1_0 f \left( \sqrt [n] x \right) dx \leq c \int^1_0 f(x) dx.
