16. Show L1(R)⊈ L2(R) and L2(R)⊈ L1(R) if Lebesgue measure is used. Hint: Con-sider 1/
√x and 1/x.
17. Suppose that θ ∈ [0,1] and r,s,q > 0 with 1q = θ
r +1−θ
s . show that
(∫| f |qdµ)1/q ≤ ((
∫| f |rdµ)1/r)θ ((
∫| f |sdµ)1/s)1−θ.
If q,r,s≥ 1 this says that ∥ f∥q ≤ ∥ f∥θr ∥ f∥1−θ
s . Using this, show that
ln(∥ f∥q
)≤ θ ln(∥ f∥r)+(1−θ) ln(∥ f∥s) .
Hint:∫| f |qdµ =
∫| f |qθ | f |q(1−θ)dµ. Now note that 1 = θq
r + q(1−θ)s and then use
Holder’s inequality.
18. Suppose f is a function in L1 (R) and f is infinitely differentiable. Is f ′ ∈ L1 (R)?Hint: What if φ ∈C∞
c (0,1) and f (x) = φ (2n (x−n)) for x ∈ (n,n+1) , f (x) = 0 ifx < 0?
19. Let T be a real number, T < 1. Let A0 = 0, An+1 = An +12
(T −A2
n). Show that
An ∈[0, 1+T
2
]. Use the mean value theorem to show that f (x)≡ x+ 1
2
(T − x2
)maps[
0, 1+T2
]to[0, 1+T
2
]and is a contraction map. Obtain a unique square root for T as
a fixed point.
