question

Determine the smallest number MM such that the inequality |ab(a2b2)+bc(b2c2)+ca(c2a2)|M(a2+b2+c2)2 \left|a b\left(a^{2}-b^{2}\right)+b c\left(b^{2}-c^{2}\right)+c a\left(c^{2}-a^{2}\right)\right| \leq M\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\right)^{2} holds for all real numbers a,b,ca, b, c.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Determine the smallest number M such that the inequality

|ab(a²−b²)+bc(b²−c²)+ca(c²−a²)|≤M(a²+b²+c²)²

holds for all real numbers a,b,c.
Original LaTeX notation
Determine the smallest number $M$ such that the inequality

$$
\left|a b\left(a^{2}-b^{2}\right)+b c\left(b^{2}-c^{2}\right)+c a\left(c^{2}-a^{2}\right)\right| \leq M\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\right)^{2}
$$

holds for all real numbers $a, b, c$.
