Van Khea and Holder’s inequality

Let , ; ( = 1, 2, … , ) be positive real number and for , > 1 ; + = 1. Prove that:

+ + ⋯+ ≤ + + ⋯+ + + ⋯+

Now we will use Van Khea’s inequality to prove this inequality

From Van Khea’s inequality for − − = 1 we have

, , , , + , + ⋯+ ,
+ + ⋯+ ≥
, , , , , , , + , + ⋯+ , , + , + ⋯+ ,

Let = 2; = ; = ⇒2− + = 2 − 1 = 1 So we have

(a b ) ( ) ( )
a b +a b + ⋯+ a b = + + ⋯+
a

(a b + a b + ⋯ + a b )
≥
+ + ⋯+ + + ⋯+

(a b + a b + ⋯ + a b )
⇔ a b + a b + ⋯+ a b ≥
+ + ⋯+ + + ⋯+

⇒ + + ⋯+ ≤ + +⋯+ + +⋯+

Now we will use Van Khea’s inequality to prove that it is alway true for , >1; + ≤1

Let , ; ( = 1, 2, … , ) be positive real number and for , > 1 ; + ≤ 1. Prove that:

+ + ⋯+ + + ⋯+ + + ⋯+
≤

Proof:

From Van Khea’s inequality for α − α − α − α = 1 we have

, , , + ⋯+ ,
+⋯+ ≥
, , , , , , , + ⋯+ , , + ⋯+ , , + ⋯+ ,
Let α = 2; α = 1 − + ; α = ; α = ⇒ α −α −α −α = 2− 1− + − − =1

So we have:

( ) ( )
+ ⋯+ = +⋯+
1 1

( + ⋯+ )
≥
(1 + 1 + ⋯ + 1) + ⋯+ + ⋯+

( + ⋯+ )
⇔ + ⋯+ ≥
+ ⋯+ + ⋯+

+ + ⋯+ + + ⋯+ + + ⋯+
⇒ ≤

If + =1⇒ + + ⋯+ ≤ + + ⋯+ + + ⋯+

So the proof is completed.
