Remarks, questions and conjectures on Landau-Kolmogorov-type inequalities (Q4943133)

For the Landau-Kolmogorov inequality \[ \|f^{(k)}\|_B\leq K(n,k,B) \|f^{(n)}\|_B^{k/n}\|f\|_B^{1-k/n}\tag{1} \] with \(f,f^{(n)}\in B\) it is shown that \(K(n,k,L^p(\mathbb{R}\text{ mod }2\pi))= K(n,k,L^p(\mathbb{R}))\), \(1\leq p\leq\infty\). For functions on \(\mathbb{R}^d\), an analog of the form \[ \|(\partial/\partial \xi)^kf\|_B\leq C(n,k,B) \|\Delta^nf\|^{k/2n}_B \|f\|^{1-k/2n}_B\tag{2} \] holds if \(0\leq k\leq 2n\), \(B= L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)\), \(1< p<\infty\), with \(\Delta\) the Laplace operator, \((\partial/\partial\xi)^k= \partial^k/(\partial\xi_1\cdots \partial\xi_k)\), \(\xi_j\) directions in \(\mathbb{R}^d\); also for functions \(2\pi\)-periodic in \(d\) directions if \(k< 2n\); in (2) the left side can be replaced by \(\|\sup_\xi|(\partial/\partial \xi)^kf|\|_B\). For \(B= L^p(\mathbb{R}\text{ mod }2\pi)\) and \(0< p<1\), (1) is shown to be false. A review of known relations between the various \(K\) and \(C\) is given, together with open problems, and extensions to general differential operators resp. infinitesimal generators of strongly continuous operator semigroups.
