= ∥Z∥p,[0,T ]+∥Y∥p,[0,T ]
Thus ∥·∥V p clearly is a norm. What about those inclusions? Let F ∈ V p. Is it also in V q?Suppose F ∈V p and ∥F∥p,[0,T ] = 1. What about ∥F∥q,[0,T ]? For any P(

and so ∥F∥q/pq,[0,T ] ≤ 1. Therefore, if ∥F∥p,[0,T ] < ∞,
∥∥∥ F∥F∥p,[0,T ]
∥∥∥q/p
q,[0,T ]≤ 1 and so
∥∥∥∥∥ F∥F∥p,[0,T ]
∥∥∥∥∥q,[0,T ]
≤ 1, ∥F∥q,[0,T ] ≤ ∥F∥p,[0,T ]
as claimed. Thus V p ⊆V q and the inclusion map is continuous. There is nothing to verifyfor the uniform norm part of ∥F∥V p . How about the embedding into C0?∥F∥C0 ≤ ∥F∥V pbydefinition.
In the above, there is nothing sacred about the interval [0,T ]. You could use any otherinterval. Then we write ∥F∥V p(I) , ∥F∥p,I to denote the above with respect to the interval I.
Lemma B.1.5 Suppose a = t0 < t1 < · · ·< tn = b. Then ∑n−1i=0 ∥F∥
pp,[ti,ti+1]
≤ ∥F∥pp,[a,b]
Proof: It is sufficient to verify this with two intervals. Say a < b < c. Then let P1be a dissection for [a,b] and P2 a dissection for [b,c]. Then P = P1 ∪P2 is clearly adissection for [a,c] . Then from definition,
∑P1
|F (ti+1)−F (ti)|p +∑P2
|F (ti+1)−F (ti)|p = ∑P
|F (ti+1)−F (ti)|p ≤ ∥F∥pp,[a,c]
Then taking the sup over all such P1 one gets
∥F∥pp,[a,b]+∑
P2
|F (ti+1)−F (ti)|p ≤ ∥F∥pp,[a,c]
Now take sup over all such P2. Note that in finding ∥F∥pp,[a,c] there is no guarantee that b
will be in any of the dissections. That is, although P1∪P2 is a disection of [a,c] it mightnot be any of the dissections needed to obtain ∥F∥p
p,[a,c]. Thus we can’t expect to have thisinequality an equation.
