Some inequalities for Fourier coefficients in inner product spaces (Q1914711)

Let \((H, (\cdot))\) be a pre-Hilbertian space, and \((e_i)_{i\in A}\) a family of orthonormal vectors in \(H\). The authors obtain various inequalities for the Fourier coefficients \(\{(x, e_i)\}_{i\in A}\), which are in a certain sense related to the classical Bessel inequality; and some of them are refinements of the Schwarz inequality. We quote only the following result: Let \[ a(I, x, y):= \Biggl( \sum_{i\in I} |(x, e_i)|^2 \sum_{i\in I} |(y, e_i)|^2\Biggr)- \Biggl|\sum_{i\in I} (x, e_i)(e_i, y)\Biggr| \] and \[ b(I, x, y):= \Biggl[ \Biggl(|x|^2- \sum_{i\in I} |(x, e_i)|^2 \Biggr) \Biggl( |y|^2- \sum_{i\in I} |(y, e_i)|^2\Biggr) {\Biggr]^{1/2}} - \Biggl|(x, y)- \sum_{i\in I} (x, e_i) (e_i, y)\Biggr|. \] Then \[ |x|\cdot |y|- |(x, y)|\geq a(I, x, y)+ b(I, x, y)\geq 0, \] for all \(x,y\in H\) and all index sets \(I\). The obtained theorems complement certain results from Chapter XX of the monograph by \textit{D. S. Mitrinović}, \textit{J. E. Pečarič} and \textit{A. M. Fink}; ``Classical and new inequalities in analysis'' (1993; Zbl 0771.26009).
