摘要
We give a proof of the inequality in the title in terms of Fibonacci numbers and Euler numbers via a combinatorial argument and asymptotics for these numbers. The result is motivated by Sidorenko's theorem on the number of linear extensions of a partially ordered set and its complement. We conclude with some open problems. [GRAPHICS]
