Young's Inequality

In mathematics, Young's inequality is either of two inequalities: one about the product of two numbers, and one about the convolution of two functions. They are named after William Henry Young.

Young's inequality for products can be used to prove Hölder's inequality. It is also used widely to estimate the norm of nonlinear terms in PDE theory, since it allows one to estimate a product of two terms by a sum of the same terms raised to a power and scaled.

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or inequality:

    After a month or so I get used to the book’s final stage, to its having been weaned from my brain. I now regard it with a kind of amused tenderness as a man regards not his son, but the young wife of his son.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... “Equality for equals, inequality for unequals”Mthat would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, “Never make equal what is unequal.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
