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:

    “You are old, father William,” the young man said,
    “And your hair has become very white;
    And yet you incessantly stand on your head
    Do you think, at your age, it is right?”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Nature is unfair? So much the better, inequality is the only bearable thing, the monotony of equality can only lead us to boredom.
    Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
