Find the minimum of:

I tried my best using QM-AM-GM inequalities, Cauchy-Schwarz, etc. I tried also to do it with partial derivatives but it's too long. Thank you for your time :)

We note that $(1+a^2)(1+b^2)(1+c^2)$ is a symmetric function with respect to $a$, $b$, and $c$. We rewrite it by using the elementary symmetric polynomials $a+b+c$, $ab+bc+ca$ and $abc$:
$$beginalign
(1+a^2)(1+b^2)(1+c^2)&=(ab+bc+ca-1)^2+(a+b+c-abc)^2\
&=26^2+(a+b+c-abc)^2geq 26^2=676
endalign$$

where the condition $ab+bc+ac=27$ has been applied.



Hence the minimum is $676$ as soon as we show that there are $a,b,cgeq 0$ such that $ab+bc+ac=27$ and $a+b+c=abc$.
Can you take it from here?

A simple supplement to Robert's nice answer. With the aid of the following plot I'm sure you all can prove that when $a+b+c=12=abc$ the polynomial
$$(x-a)(x-b)(x-c)=x^3-12x^2+27x-12$$
has three positive zeros $a,b,c$ :-)

    Adding this because it was not immediately obvious to me how to prove that Robert's lower bound can be achieved. I'm sure there are nice trick ways of doing that. But, it really is simple.

$(1+a^2)(1+b^2)(1+c^2)$ is a symmetric function with respect to $a$, $b$ and $c$. Try to rewrite it using the elementary symmetric polynomials $a+b+c$, $ab+bc+ca$ and $abc$.

I have a rather direct proof of the identity used by @Robert Z : use twice what is called Diophantes equality $(a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2)=(ac−bd)^2+(ad+bc)^2$ (which can be explained as two ways of writing the squared norm ( = squared module) of $(a+ib)(c+id)$)... Or, said in an even simpler way take the squared norm of both sides of relationship $(1+ia)(1+ib)(1+ic)=(1-ab-bc-ca)+(a+b+c-abc)i$.

Good job. You even managed to convince Michael about the usefulness of elementary symmetric polynomials - something I failed the last time I tried.

A simple supplement to Robert's nice answer. With the aid of the following plot I'm sure you all can prove that when $a+b+c=12=abc$ the polynomial
$$(x-a)(x-b)(x-c)=x^3-12x^2+27x-12$$
has three positive zeros $a,b,c$ :-)

    Adding this because it was not immediately obvious to me how to prove that Robert's lower bound can be achieved. I'm sure there are nice trick ways of doing that. But, it really is simple.
