Universal bounds for the Hardy--Littlewood inequalities on multilinear forms (1803.01397v1)

Abstract: The Hardy--Littlewood inequalities for multilinear forms on sequence spaces state that for all positive integers $m,n\geq2$ and all $m$-linear forms $T:\ell_{p_{1}}^{n}\times\cdots\times\ell_{p_{m}}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{K}$ ($\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$) there are constants $C_{m}\geq1$ (not depending on $n$) such that [ \left( \sum_{j_{1},\ldots,j_{m}=1}^{n}\left\vert T(e_{j_{1}},\ldots,e_{j_{m}})\right\vert ^{\rho}\right) ^{\frac{1}{\rho}}\leq C_{m}\sup_{\left\Vert x_{1}\right\Vert ,\dots,\left\Vert x_{m}\right\Vert \leq 1}\left\vert T(x_{1},\dots,x_{m})\right\vert, ] where $\rho=\frac{2m}{m+1-2\left( \frac{1}{p_{1}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{p_{m}}\right) }$ if $0\leq\frac{1}{p_{1}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{p_{m}}\leq\frac{1}{2}$ or $\rho=\frac{1}{1-\left( \frac{1}{p_{1}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{p_{m}}\right)}$ if $\frac{1}{2}\leq\frac{1}{p_{1}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{p_{m}}<1$. Good estimates for the Hardy-Littlewood constants are, in general, associated to applications in Mathematics and even in Physics, but the exact behavior of these constants is still unknown. In this note we give some new contributions to the behavior of the constants in the case $\frac{1}{2}\leq\frac{1}{p_{1}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{p_{m}}<1$. As a consequence of our main result, we present a generalization and a simplified proof of a result due to Aron et al. on certain Hardy--Littlewood type inequalities.
