# Universal bounds for the Hardy--Littlewood inequalities on multilinear forms

## TL;DR

This paper establishes universal bounds for Hardy--Littlewood inequalities on multilinear forms, providing new insights into the behavior of associated constants especially in the case where the sum of reciprocals of p-values is between 1/2 and 1.

## Contribution

The authors derive new bounds for Hardy--Littlewood constants in a specific parameter range and generalize previous results with a simplified proof.

## Key findings

- New bounds for Hardy--Littlewood constants when 1/2 ≤ sum of 1/p_i < 1
- Generalization of a Hardy--Littlewood inequality result by Aron et al.
- Simplified proof of the generalized inequality.

## Abstract

The Hardy--Littlewood inequalities for multilinear forms on sequence spaces state that for all positive integers $m,n\geq2$ and all $m$-linear forms $T:\ell_{p_{1}}^{n}\times\cdots\times\ell_{p_{m}}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{K}$ ($\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$) there are constants $C_{m}\geq1$ (not depending on $n$) such that \[ \left( \sum_{j_{1},\ldots,j_{m}=1}^{n}\left\vert T(e_{j_{1}},\ldots,e_{j_{m}})\right\vert ^{\rho}\right) ^{\frac{1}{\rho}}\leq C_{m}\sup_{\left\Vert x_{1}\right\Vert ,\dots,\left\Vert x_{m}\right\Vert \leq 1}\left\vert T(x_{1},\dots,x_{m})\right\vert, \] where $\rho=\frac{2m}{m+1-2\left( \frac{1}{p_{1}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{p_{m}}\right) }$ if $0\leq\frac{1}{p_{1}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{p_{m}}\leq\frac{1}{2}$ or $\rho=\frac{1}{1-\left( \frac{1}{p_{1}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{p_{m}}\right)}$ if $\frac{1}{2}\leq\frac{1}{p_{1}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{p_{m}}<1$. Good estimates for the Hardy-Littlewood constants are, in general, associated to applications in Mathematics and even in Physics, but the exact behavior of these constants is still unknown. In this note we give some new contributions to the behavior of the constants in the case $\frac{1}{2}\leq\frac{1}{p_{1}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{p_{m}}<1$. As a consequence of our main result, we present a generalization and a simplified proof of a result due to Aron et al. on certain Hardy--Littlewood type inequalities.
