Let's say $f$ is a convex function on $[0,+\infty]$ with $f(0)=f^{\prime}(0)=0$ and $\lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty} f(x)=+\infty$ ($f^{\prime}$ is stricty increasing),

Then I believe the following is true:

$\lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{\log[\int_{C}^{x} \frac{f^{\prime}(\tau)}{\tau} d\tau \int_{C}^{x} \tau f^{\prime} (\tau) d\tau]} {\log[f(x)]}=2$ for any $C>0$

It is true that $\liminf \geq 2$ by Cauchy-Schwarz, but I am stuck at the $\limsup$ part. I can only show that $\limsup \leq 2$ when $\lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{f(x)}{xf^{\prime}(x)}$ exists. However, this assumption seems not true in general (although I don't have a counterexample yet). I will greatly appreciate if anyone suggests a solution.

    Thank both of you for pointing it out! Sorry for the typo. Careless last night. I've corrected with What with \log function.2012-05-20
