Subadditive functions and partial converses of Minkowski's and Mulholland's inequalities

J. Matkowski, T. Świątkowski (1993)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let ϕ be an arbitrary bijection of + . We prove that if the two-place function ϕ - 1 [ ϕ ( s ) + ϕ ( t ) ] is subadditive in + 2 then ϕ must be a convex homeomorphism of + . This is a partial converse of Mulholland’s inequality. Some new properties of subadditive bijections of + are also given. We apply the above results to obtain several converses of Minkowski’s inequality.

The converse of the Hölder inequality and its generalizations

Janusz Matkowski (1994)

Studia Mathematica

Let (Ω,Σ,μ) be a measure space with two sets A,B ∈ Σ such that 0 < μ (A) < 1 < μ (B) < ∞ and suppose that ϕ and ψ are arbitrary bijections of [0,∞) such that ϕ(0) = ψ(0) = 0. The main result says that if ʃ Ω x y d μ ϕ - 1 ( ʃ Ω ϕ x d μ ) ψ - 1 ( ʃ Ω ψ x d μ ) for all μ-integrable nonnegative step functions x,y then ϕ and ψ must be conjugate power functions. If the measure space (Ω,Σ,μ) has one of the following properties: (a) μ (A) ≤ 1 for every A ∈ Σ of finite measure; (b) μ (A) ≥ 1 for every A ∈ Σ of positive measure, then there exist...
