Is there a reason why Mathematica cannot verify the following?
vv = t (a^2 + b^2)/2 - (a - b) (a + b) (1 - Exp[- 2 c^2 b^2 t])/( 4 c^2 b^2)
FullSimplify[
Positive[vv],
Assumptions -> Flatten[
{
Thread[{a, b, t, c} > 0],
Element[{a, b, t, c}, Reals],
a > b
}
]
]
Which just gives me
Positive[-(((a - b) (a + b) (1 - E^(-2 b^2 c^2 t)))/(4 b^2 c^2)) + 1/2 (a^2 + b^2) t]
However, I'm fairly certain it's true, since it is shown here.
