Extremals of Some Uncertainty Inequalities

From MaRDI portal





In earlier work with \textit{E. Laeng} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 127, 3565--3572 (1999; Zbl 0945.42005)], the author identified the best constant \(C_0\) and extremals for the inequality \[ \| x^2 f\| _1\| \xi \widehat f\| _2^2\geq C_0 \| f\| _1\| f\| _2^2. \] In the present paper, this result is extended to \(n\) dimensions and to a family of inequalities of the form \[ \| x^2 f\| _1^\alpha\| \xi \widehat f\| _2^\beta\geq C \| f\| _1^\gamma \| f\| _2^\delta. \] In particular, the main result applies to \(\alpha = n/(n+4)\), \(\beta = n\lambda/(n+2)\), \(\gamma=1-(2\lambda)/(n+2)\) and \(\delta=\lambda-(4/(n+4))\) where \(\lambda\in (4/(n+4),(n+2)/2]\). The proof makes use of polar coordinates and estimates on Bessel functions. The author also outlines a simple proof of a related inequality of Nash.
