On Bergh's inequality for quasi-monotone functions (Q1910007)

The following is a typical result of the paper: Let \(0\leq c\leq\infty\), \(C\geq1\) and \(0<p\leq q\leq\infty\) and let \(f:(0,\infty)\to(0,\infty)\) satisfy the following growth condition \[ f(s)/s^{\alpha_0}\leq Cf(t)/t^{\alpha_0}\quad \text{if}\quad s< t. \] Then, for \(\alpha<\alpha_0\), \[ \Biggl(\int^\infty_c(t^{-\alpha}f(t))^q{dt\over t}\Biggr)^{1/q}\leq {[(\alpha-\alpha_0)p]^{1/p}\over [(\alpha-\alpha_0)q]^{1/q}} C^{1-p/q}\Biggl(\int^\infty_c (t^{-\alpha}f(t))^p{dt\over t}\Biggr)^{1/p}. \] The cases when an opposite growth condition is satisfied and when two growth conditions are fulfilled are also discussed. The results so obtained generalize that of \textit{J. Bergh} [Math. Z. 215, No. 2, 205-208 (1994; Zbl 0804.26017)].
