Hardy's inequalities for monotone functions on partially ordered measure spaces

We improve the classical discrete Hardy inequality for $ 1<p<\infty $ for functions on the natural numbers. For integer values of $ p $ the Hardy weight is an absolutely monotonic function.

The aim of this paper is to establish weighted Hardy type inequality in a broad family of means. In other words, for a fixed vector of weights $(\lambda_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ and a weighted mean $\mathscr{M}$, we search for the smallest number $C$ such that $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \lambda_n \mathscr{M} \big((x_1,\dots,x_n),(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_n)\big) \le C \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \lambda_nx_n \text{ for all admissible }x.$$ The main results provide a definite answer in the case w...

In this paper some extensions of Hardy's integral inequalities to $0<p\leq 1$ are established.

We characterize a three-weight inequality for an iterated discrete Hardy-type operator. In the case when the domain space is a weighted space $\ell^p$ with $p\in(0,1]$, we develop characterizations which enable us to reduce the problem to another one with $p=1$. This, in turn, makes it possible to establish an equivalence of the weighted discrete inequality to an appropriate inequality for iterated Hardy-type operators acting on measurable functions defined on $\mathbb{R}$, f...

A result of Bennett and Grosse-Erdmann characterizes the weights for which the corresponding weighted Hardy inequality holds on the cone of non-negative, non-increasing sequences and a bound for the best constant is given. In this paper, we improve the bound for $1<p \leq 2$.

We prove a sharp integral inequality valid for non-negative functions defined on $[0,1]$, with given $L^1$ norm. This is in fact a generalization of the well known integral Hardy inequality. We prove it as a consequence of the respective weighted discrete analogue inequality which proof is presented in this paper. As an application we find the exact best possible range of $p>q$ such that any non-increasing $f$ which satisfies a reverse H\"{o}lder inequality with exponent $q$ ...

In this paper a reduction and equivalence theorems for the boundedness of the composition of a quasilinear operator $T$ with the Hardy and Copson operators in weighted Lebesgue spaces are proved. New equivalence theorems are obtained for the operator $T$ to be bounded in weighted Lebesgue spaces restricted to the cones of monotone functions, which allow to change the cone of non-decreasing functions to the cone of non-increasing functions and vice versa not changing the opera...

In the present paper we shall improve one dimensional weighted Hardy inequalities with one-sided boundary condition by adding sharp remainders. As an application, we shall establish n dimensional weighted Hardy inequalities in a bounded smooth domain with weight functions being powers of the distance function d(x) to the boundary. Our results will be applicable to variational problems in a coming paper.

In this note we give several characterisations of weights for two-weight Hardy inequalities to hold on general metric measure spaces possessing polar decompositions. Since there may be no differentiable structure on such spaces, the inequalities are given in the integral form in the spirit of Hardy's original inequality. We give examples obtaining new weighted Hardy inequalities on $\mathbb R^n$, on homogeneous groups, on hyperbolic spaces, and on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds.

For a given weighted mean $\mathscr{M}$ defined on a subinterval of $\mathbb{R}_+$ and a sequence of weights $\lambda=(\lambda_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ we define a Hardy constant $\mathscr H(\lambda)$ as the smallest extended real number such that $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \lambda_n \mathscr{M}\big((x_1,\dots,x_n),(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_n)\big) \le \mathscr H(\lambda) \cdot \sum_{n=1}^\infty \lambda_n x_n \text{ for all }x \in \ell^1(\lambda).$$ The aim of this note is to present a comp...
