Acta Math. Univ. Comenianae Vol. LXXVII, 8, pp. 35 3 35 ON THE HILBERT INEQUALITY ZHOU YU and GAO MINGZHE Abstract. In this paper it is shown that the Hilbert inequality for double series can be improved by introducing a weight function of the form n n n+ n+ ln n, π where n N. A similar result for the Hilbert integral inequality is also given. As applications, some sharp results of Hardy-Littlewood s theorem and Widder s theorem are obtained.. Introduction Let {a n } and {b n } be two sequences of comple numbers. It is all-round known that the inequality a m bn. π a m + n n b n m is called the Hilbert inequality for double series, where a n < + and b n < +, and that the constant factor π in. is the best possible. The equality in. holds if and only if {a n }, or {b n } is a zero-sequence see [?]. The corresponding integral form of. is that fgy + y ddy. π f d g d where f d < + and g d < +, and that the constant factor π in. is also the best possible. The equality in. holds if and only if f, or g. Recently, various improvements and etensions of. and. appeared in a great deal of papers see [?]. The purpose of the present paper is to build the Hilbert inequality with the weights by means of a monotonic function Received August 3, 7; revised February, 8. Mathematics Subject Classification.

If a n < + and b n < +, then. m a m bn m + n 4 π 4 a n ω n a n b n ω n b n where the weight function ω n is defined by.6. Proof. Let c be a real function and satisfy the condition c n+c m, n, m N. Firstly we suppose that b n a n. Applying Cauchy s inequality we have a m ā n a m ā n c n + c m. where m m + n m m m + n a m cn + cm/ m m + n/ n a n cn + cm/ m + n/ m J J J a m m m+n n cn + cm m J cn + cm m m ā n m+n We can write the double series J in the following form: J cm + cn a n. m + n m m m /4 /4 Let c +.

Similarly, n J + + n + + d n ā n π a n + π ω n a n. { Whence J J π a n Consequently, we have a m ā n.3 m + n m ω n a n }. π a n ω n a n where the weight function ω n is defined by.6. If b n a n, then we can apply Schwarz s inequality to estimate the right-hand side of. as follows: 4 a m bn m + n a m t m bn t n dt.4 m m a m t m dt b n t n dt m a m ā n b m bn m + n m + n m m And then by using the relation.3, from.4 and the inequality., we obtain at once. Similarly, we can establish a new refinement of.. Theorem.. Let f and g be two functions in comple number field. If f d < +, g d < +, then.5 fg + y ddy 4 π 4 f d g d ω f d ω g d

Applications As applications, we shall give some new refinements of Hardy-Littlewood s theorem and Widder s theorem. Let f L, and f for all. Define a sequence {a n } by a n n fd, n,,,.... Hardy-Littlewood [] proved that 3. a n < π n f d, where π is the best constant that the inequality 3. keeps valid. Theorem 3.. Let f L, and f for all. Define a sequence {a n } by a n n / fd n,,.... Then 3. an π a n ω n a n f d where ωn is defined by.6. Proof. By our assumptions, we may write a n in the form a n a n n / fd.
ON THE HILBERT INEQUALITY 3 Applying Cauchy-Schwarz s inequality we estimate the right hand side of 3. as follows an a n n / fd a n n / fd 3.3 a n n / d m m a m a n m+n d a m a n m + n f d f d f d It is known from.3 and 3.3 that the inequality 3. is valid. Therefore the theorem is proved. Let a n n,,,...., A a n n, A 3.4 A d π This is Widder s theorem see []. n e A d n a n n n!. Then Theorem 3.. With the assumptions as the above-mentioned, it yields 3.5 A d π e A d where ω is defined by.6. Proof. At first we have the following relation: e t A tdt e t n a n n n n! a n t n dt n! t n e t dt ω e A d a n n A n
