Young's Inequality - Young's Inequality For Convolutions

Young's Inequality For Convolutions

In real analysis, the following result is also called Young's inequality:

Suppose f is in Lp(Rd) and g is in Lq(Rd) and

with 1 ≤ p, q, r ≤ ∞. Then

Here the star denotes convolution, Lp is Lebesgue space, and

denotes the usual Lp norm.

In case p, q > 1 the result can be strengthened to a sharp form, viz

where the constant cp,q < 1.

An example application is that Young's inequality can be used to show that the heat semigroup is a contraction semigroup using the L2 norm.

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or inequality:

    I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal.... Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.
    Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

    A man willing to work, and unable to find work, is perhaps the saddest sight that fortune’s inequality exhibits under this sun.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
