Littlewood's 4/3 inequality

In mathematical analysis, Littlewood's 4/3 inequality, named after John Edensor Littlewood,[1] is an inequality that holds for every complex-valued bilinear form defined on c0, the Banach space of scalar sequences that converge to zero.

Precisely, let B:c0 × c0 → ℂ or IR be a bilinear form. Then the following holds:

where

The exponent 4/3 is optimal, i.e., cannot be improved by a smaller exponent.[2] It is also known that for real scalars the aforementioned constant is sharp.[3]

Generalizations

Bohnenblust–Hille inequality

Bohnenblust–Hille inequality[4] is a multilinear extension of Littlewood's inequality that states that for all m-linear mapping M:c0 × ... × c0 → ℂ the following holds:

gollark: Utilitarian-ly speaking, most people would prefer not to die and/or this reduces total and average happiness. Rights-based ethical systems would say that you do not have a right to kill people.
gollark: And some technological things have an outsized impact compared to other things.
gollark: As far as I know the vast majority of CO2 output is due to technology indirectly used by people and not in fact respiration.
gollark: Have you considered that some things produce small amounts of CO2/energy use compared to other things?
gollark: Nukes are outdated. Orbital laser strikes are where it's at.
