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:

    There was a young lady of Niger
    Who smiled as she rode on a Tiger;
    They came back from the ride
    With the lady inside,
    And the smile on the face of the Tiger.
    Cosmo Monkhouse (1840–1901)

    Love is a great thing. It is not by chance that in all times and practically among all cultured peoples love in the general sense and the love of a man for his wife are both called love. If love is often cruel or destructive, the reasons lie not in love itself, but in the inequality between people.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
