SOME REFINEMENTS AND GENERALIZATIONS OF CARLEMAN’S INEQUALITY DAH-YAN HWANG Received 24 November 2003 We give some refinements and generalizations of Carleman’s inequality with weaker condi- tion for weight coefficient. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 26D15. 1. Introduction. The following Carleman’s inequality (see [6, Theorem 334]) is well known, unless (a ) is null: n ∞ ∞ a1a2 ···an 1/n e an . (1.1) n=1 n=1 The constant is the best possible. There is a vast literature which deals with alternative proofs, various generalizations and extensions, and numerous variants and applications in analysis of inequality (1.1); see [1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 8, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19] and the references given therein. According to Hardy (see [6, Theorem 349]), Carleman’s inequality was generalized as follows. If an ≥ 0, λn ≥ 0, Λn = n λm (n ∈ N), and 0 ∞ λn an ∞, then m=1 n=1 ∞ ∞ λ λ1 aλ2 ···aλn 1/Λn e λ a . (1.2) n a1 2 n n n n=1 n=1 In [ 19], Yuan obtained the refined Carleman’s inequality as follows. If an ≥ 0, n = 1, 2,..., and 0 ∞ an ∞, then n=1 ∞ ∞
