No label defined (Q4529191)

By introducing the parameters \(a\) and \(b\), the following result is proved: Let \(b \in \mathbb{R}\), \(a < b, f\in L_{[a,b]}, f(t) \geq 0\) and \(0 < \int^b_a f(t)dt < \infty.\) Then \[ \int^b_a \exp\Big(\frac 1{x-a}\int^x _0 \ln f(t)dt\Big)dx \leq e\int^b _a \Big(1-\frac{t-a}{b-a}\Big)f(t)dt \] and \[ \int^{\infty}_a \exp\Big(\frac 1{x-a}\int^x _0 \ln f(t)dt\Big)dx \leq e\int^{\infty}_a f(t)dt, \] where the constant \(e\) is the best possible. These two inequalities are generalizations of the Hardy-Carleman's integral inequality \[ \int^{\infty}_0 \exp\Big(\frac 1{x}\int^x _0 \ln f(t)dt\Big)dx \leq e\int^{\infty}_0 f(t)dt. . \]
