A survey on Cauchy-Bunyakovsky-Schwarz type discrete inequalities.
There are many inequalities measuring the deviation of the average of a function over an interval from a linear combination of values of the function and some of its derivatives. A general setting is given from which the desired inequalities are obtained using Hölder’s inequality. Moreover, sharpness of the constants is usually easy to prove by studying the equality cases of Hölder’s inequality. Comparison of averages, extension to weighted integrals and -dimensional results are also given.
Let be a weight on . Assume that is continuous on . Let the operator be given at measurable non-negative function on by We characterize weights on for which there exists a positive constant such that the inequality holds for every . Such inequalities have been used in the study of optimal Sobolev embeddings and boundedness of certain operators on classical Lorenz spaces.
A non-homogeneous Hardy-like inequality has recently been found to be closely related to the knowledge of the lowest eigenvalue of a large class of Dirac operators in the gap of their continuous spectrum.
Sufficient and necessary conditions are presented under which two given functions can be separated by a function Π-affine in Rodé sense (resp. Π-convex, Π-concave). As special cases several old and new separation theorems are obtained.
A survey of mean inequalities with real weights is given.
