1. Let a,b,c be sidelengths of a triangle. Prove that
\frac{a^2-bc}{\sqrt{4a^2+bc}}+\frac{b^2-ca}{\sqrt{4b^2+ca}}+\frac{c^2-ab}{\sqrt{4c^2+ab}}\le0
When equality occurs?

Clearly when a=b=c the inequality holds
and by SOS we can prove the inequality,i think

Yes, it's easy SOS.
2\sum_{cyc}\frac {a^2 - bc}{\sqrt {4a^2 + bc}}=\sum_{cyc}\frac{(a-b)(a+c)-(c-a)(a+b)}{\sqrt {4a^2 + bc}}=
=\sum_{cyc}(a-b)\left(\frac{a+c}{\sqrt {4a^2 + bc}}-\frac{b+c}{\sqrt {4b^2 + ac}}\right)=
=\sum_{cyc}\frac{c(a-b)^2(c^2-2(a+b)c+a^2-7ab+b^2)}{\sqrt{(4a^2+bc)(4b^2+ac)}\left((a+c)\sqrt{4b^2+ac}+(b+c)\sqrt{4a^2+bc}\ri...
Id est, it remains to prove that
c^2-2(a+b)c+a^2-7ab+b^2\leq0, which is obvious.

Nice, Arqady. Some same form problems are

2. Let a,b,c be sidelengths of a triangle. Prove that
\frac{a^{2}-bc}{\sqrt{15a^{2}+(b+c)^2}}+\frac{b^{2}-ca}{\sqrt{15b^{2}+(c+a)^2}}+\frac{c^{2}-ab}{\sqrt{15c^{2}+(a+b)^2}}\le0

3. Let a,b,c be sidelengths of a triangle. Prove that
\frac{a^{2}-bc}{\sqrt{7a^{2}+b^2+c^2}}+\frac{b^{2}-ca}{\sqrt{7b^{2}+c^2+a^2}}+\frac{c^{2}-ab}{\sqrt{7c^{2}+a^2+b^2}}\le0

Notice that we have the following Inequality with the same condition
\frac {a^2 - bc}{4a^2 + 5bc} + \frac {b^2 - ca}{4b^2 + 5ca} + \frac {c^2 - ab}{4c^2 + 5ab}\ge0
