Hanner's inequalities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Hanner's Inequalities)

In mathematics, Hanner's inequalities are results in the theory of Lp spaces. Their proof was published in 1956 by Olof Hanner. They provide a simpler way of proving the uniform convexity of Lp spaces for p ∈ (1, +∞) than the approach proposed by James A. Clarkson in 1936.

Statement of the inequalities

[edit]

Let fg ∈ Lp(E), where E is any measure space. If p ∈ [1, 2], then

The substitutions F = f + g and G = f − g yield the second of Hanner's inequalities:

For p ∈ [2, +∞) the inequalities are reversed (they remain non-strict).

Note that for the inequalities become equalities which are both the parallelogram rule.
