On Birman's sequence of Hardy-Rellich-type inequalities (Q1686096)

In this nice paper, Birman's sequence of inequalities has been reconsidered on some Hilbert space of functions defined on the closed unbounded interval of real numbers. The new proof of this sequence of inequalities is presented. Also it is shown that ``Birman constants'' in the inequalities considered are sharp and optimal. The Hardy and Rellich inequalities are special cases of the Birman's one. The paper is useful both for experts as well as for all who want to find interesting information on mathematical analysis and functional analysis (function spaces, Hilbert spaces, linear operators, Cesaro operator, Mellin transform, spectral properties of Cesaro operator).
