A Sharp Inequality of Hardy-Littlewood Type Via Derivatives

Abstract

In this paper we consider a generalized version of Carleman's inequality. An equivalent version of it states that $\|f\|_{A_\alpha^{2\alpha}}\leq\|f\|_{H^2}$, where $f$ is a holomorphic function and $\alpha>1$. If the norms $\|f\|_{A_\alpha^{2\alpha}}$ are decreasing in $\alpha$, then the inequality holds for $f$. For a dense set of functions, we calculate the derivative of the norms $\|f\|_{A_\alpha^{2\alpha}}$ in $\alpha$ and give sufficient conditions for this derivative to be non-positive. As an application, we prove the inequality for linear combinations of two reproducing kernels. Some numerical evidences are also provided.
