A survey of some norm inequalities (Q2027987)

With 94 references cited, this paper gives a survey of some classical norm inequalities of Hardy, Kallman, Kato, Kolmogorov, Landau, Littlewood, and Rota of the type \[ \|Af\|_{\mathcal X}^2 \le C\|f\|_{\mathcal X}\|A^2f\|_{\mathcal X},\quad f\in \mathrm{dom}\, (A^2) \] where \(\mathcal X\) is a Banach space. The optimal constant \(C\) in these inequalities diminishes from \(4\) (e.g., when \(A\) is the generator of a \(C_0\) contraction semigroup on a Banach space \(\mathcal X\)) down to \(1\) (e.g., when \(A\) is a symmetric operator on a Hilbert space \(H\)). The authors also survey some results in connection with an extension of the Hardy-Littlewood inequality involving quadratic forms. Remarks and examples are given in the paper.
