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:

    May Allah keep her
    And other wives from me. But this young slave
    For the Caliph? Well, only her thin mouth to save
    My soul I can’t forget, nor her slack eyes:
    The oasis of age is sand and lies.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    All the aspects of this desert are beautiful, whether you behold it in fair weather or foul, or when the sun is just breaking out after a storm, and shining on its moist surface in the distance, it is so white, and pure, and level, and each slight inequality and track is so distinctly revealed; and when your eyes slide off this, they fall on the ocean.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
