Minkowski's Inequality and the Seminormed Space of Power-Integrable Functions
lemmaAnalysislem:minkowski-inequality-2026aThe p-seminorm of a sum is at most the sum of the seminorms, so the power-integrable functions form a real vector space on which the p-seminorm is subadditive and absolutely homogeneous.
In the setting of Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation, let be a measure space, let be a real number with , and write for the set of -integrable functions on and for the -seminorm. Then the following hold.
1. (Minkowski's inequality)¶ Let . Then the pointwise sum belongs to and
2. (A seminormed vector space)¶ is a linear subspace of the real vector space of all real-valued maps on , and is therefore itself a vector space over under the pointwise operations, with zero vector the map taking the value at every point. For all and every real the -seminorm satisfies
3. (Finite sums)¶ Let and let for each . Then the finite sum , formed in the vector space of clause 2, belongs to and
