The integral of a product of power-integrable functions is bounded by the product of their seminorms, both for a conjugate pair of exponents and for finitely many exponents whose reciprocals sum to one.

Statement

In the setting of Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation, let (X,F,μ)(X,\mathcal{F},\mu) be a measure space. For a real number rr with 1r1\le r write Lr\mathcal{L}^{r} for the set of rr-integrable functions on (X,F,μ)(X,\mathcal{F},\mu) and r\lVert\cdot\rVert_{r} for the rr-seminorm. Finite products of real numbers are the finite products of that definition. Then the following hold.

1. (Hölder's inequality) Let p,qp,q be conjugate exponents, let fLpf\in\mathcal{L}^{p} and let gLqg\in\mathcal{L}^{q}. Then the pointwise product fgfg belongs to L1\mathcal{L}^{1} and

fg1=Xfgdμfpgq.\lVert fg\rVert_{1}=\int_{X}|fg|\,d\mu\le\lVert f\rVert_{p}\,\lVert g\rVert_{q} .

2. (Finitely many factors) Let nNn\in\mathbb{N}, and for each k[n]k\in[n] let pkp_{k} be a real number with 1pk1\le p_{k} and let fkLpkf_{k}\in\mathcal{L}^{p_{k}}. Suppose that

k=1n1pk=1.\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{1}{p_{k}}=1 .

Let F:XRF:X\to\mathbb{R} be the pointwise product of f1,,fnf_{1},\dots,f_{n}, given by F(x)=k=1nfk(x)F(x)=\prod_{k=1}^{n}f_{k}(x). Then FL1F\in\mathcal{L}^{1} and

F1=XFdμk=1nfkpk.\lVert F\rVert_{1}=\int_{X}|F|\,d\mu\le\prod_{k=1}^{n}\lVert f_{k}\rVert_{p_{k}} .
