Abstract By introducing a distinctive kernel and using the way of weight functions, a brand new multiple Hilbert-type discrete inequality with a best constant factor is presented. The operator expressions, equivalent forms, reverse inequalities and particular cases are discussed. Keywords: multiple Hilbert-type discrete inequality, weight function, kernel, operator expression, best constant factor 2010 MSC: 26D15, 47A07 1. Introduction p Suppose that p > 1, (1/p) + (1/q) = 1, am , bn ≥ 0, a = {am }∞ m=1 ∈ l , b = ∞ q p 1/p {bn }∞ > 0, ||b||q > 0, the well-known Hardyn=1 ∈ l , ||a||p = { m=1 am }

Hilbert’s discrete inequality is given by ([1, p.226]): ∞  ∞  π a m bn < ||a||p ||b||q , m + n sin(π/p) n=1 m=1 5

where the constant factor π/ sin(π/p) is the best possible. Define Hardy-Hilbert’s ∞ am discrete operator T : lp → lp by: (T a) (n) := m=1 m+n , where a = {am }∞ m=1 ∈ lp , n ∈ N. Then (2) can be written as ||T a||p < [π/ sin(π/p)] ||a||p and ||T || ≤ π/ sin(π/p). Since the constant factor in (2) is the best possible, we have 10

||T || = π/ sin(π/p). Inequalities (1) and (2) have been studied extensively, which are important in analysis and applications ([2]-[7]). Hilbert-type inequalities may be classified into several types (integral, discrete and half-discrete, etc.). On discrete inequalities, by introducing an independent parameter λ (2 − min{p, q} < λ ≤ 2),

15

Yang [9] gave an extension of (1) in 2002 as follows:  ∞  ∞  p+λ−2 q+λ−2 a m bn , ||a||p,ξ ||b||q,ξ , 0, ||b||q,ξ > 0. In the same year, another similar form was established by Yang [10]:

∞  ∞ 

π a m bn ||a||p,φ ||b||q,ψ , < μ + nμ m μ sin(π/p) n=1 m=1 20

(4)

where 0 < μ ≤ min{p, q}, φ(n) = n(p−1)(1−μ) , ψ(n) = n(q−1)(1−μ) , ||a||p,φ := ∞ { n=1 φ(n)apn }1/p > 0, ||b||q,ψ > 0. It is significant to generalize Hilbert-type inequalities into multiple versions. In recent years, some results have been obtained ([11]-[18]). In 2009, the following multiple Hilbert-type discrete inequality had been studied by Yang [3, Example 9.1.1]

is the best possible. It is not an easy

job to find new forms of such inequalities. Exploiting these multiple inequalities 2

will greatly increase the scope of our work. This paper will include a completely 30

new multiple discrete Hilbert-type inequality with an interesting kernel. The setup of this paper is as follows. In Section 2, a number of basic lemmas are obtained. To calculate the constant factor, we herein utilize mathematical induction to do an excellent computing. To prove the best of the constant factor, we apply some analytical skills to do a good estimate for some formula. Section

3 presents our main results, the techniques that will be used in the proof are mainly based on classical real analysis, especially on the well-known H¨ older’s inequality. In addition, the equivalent forms, operator expressions as well as some reverse inequalities are also considered.

Proof. We will prove (9) by induction. If n = 2, then  min{u1 , 1} min{u1 , 1} − ln +2 λ2 (u1 ) = max{u1 , 1} max{u1 , 1} holds by applying Lemma 3 with k = 0. Now we assume that (9) holds for n = k ∈ N\{1}. Then, by (8), we obtain  ∞  ∞ k+1 min1≤j≤k+1 {uj , 1} −1 ··· u du2 · · · duk+1 λk+1 (u1 ) = max1≤j≤k+1 {uj , 1} j=2 j 0 0 ⎛ ⎞  ∞  ∞  ∞ k+1 min {u , 1} 1≤j≤k+1 j ⎝ ⎠ du2 = ··· u−1 j du3 · · · duk+1 max {u , 1} u2 1≤j≤k+1 j 0 0 0 j=3   k−1  ∞ min{u1 , u2 , 1} (−1)k−1 min{u1 , u2 , 1} = k! 1+ ln max{u1 , u2 , 1} k! max{u1 , u2 , 1} 0   i+1  k−3  (−1)i+1 1 1 min{u1 , u2 , 1} du2 − ln + i! i + 1 k max{u , u , 1} u2 1 2 i=0  min{u1 , 1} (−1)k−1 min{u1 , 1} 2 − ln + = k! max{u1 , 1} max{u1 , 1} k!   k  i  k−1  min{u1 , 1} min{u1 , 1} k−1−i (k − 1)! ln × − ln +2 (−1) max{u1 , 1} i! max{u1 , 1} i=0   i+2 k−3  (−1)i+1  1 1 min{u1 , 1} − − ln + i! i+1 k max{u1 , 1} i=0 ⎤⎫  j ⎬ i+1  (i + 1)! min{u1 , 1} ⎦ . +2 (−1)i+1−j ln ⎭ j! max{u1 , 1} j=0

Thus (9) holds for n = k + 1. By mathematical induction, (9) holds for all n ∈ N\{1}.

then we find J qn −1 = ||a(n) ||pn ,ϕn . By (17), we have J < ∞. If J = 0, (19) is trivial so we assume that J > 0, applying (18) gives ||a(n) ||ppnn ,ϕn = J qn = I < n!

To see that the constant n! is the best possible, we take a ˜mi = mi

Letting ε → 0+ , it follows that n! ≤ K. Hence n! = K is the best possible constant factor of (18). By the equivalence, the constant factor n! in (19) is still the best possible. Otherwise, we would achieve a contradiction by (20) that the constant in (18) 

is not the best possible. 13

Under the hypothesis of Theorem 1, we define a Multiple

which is given by [8]. Therefore we give a multiple generalization of [8]. In order to obtain reverse inequalities corresponding to those in Theorem 1, we define the function Φn (mn ) := (1 − θ(mn ))ϕn (mn ). For pi < 1(pi = 0), the space lpi ,ϕi is not normal space. But we still use them as the formal symbols in 140

Proof. For 0 < pn < 1, we have qn < 0. By (13), (14), the reverse of (17) and the assumptions, we get (24). By using reverse H¨ older’s inequality ([20]), we obtain I

then we find Jˆqn −1 = ||a(n) ||pn ,Φn . By the reverse of (17), we have Jˆ > 0. If Jˆ = ∞, (24) is trivial so we assume that J < ∞, applying (23) gives ||a(n) ||ppnn ,Φn = Jˆqn = I > n!

Letting ε → 0+ , it follows that n! ≤ K. Hence n! = K is the best possible constant factor of (23). By the equivalence, the constant factor n! in (24) is still the best possible. Otherwise, we would reach a contradiction by (25) that the constant in (23) is
