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:

    Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.
    Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

    However energetically society in general may strive to make all the citizens equal and alike, the personal pride of each individual will always make him try to escape from the common level, and he will form some inequality somewhere to his own profit.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
