Lower bound for $|x-y|$

For $x$,$y$ in Hilbert space $mathcal{H}$ I want a lower bound for
begin{equation}
|x-y|_{mathcal{H}}^2
end{equation}

I know
begin{equation}
| |x|_{mathcal{H}}-|y|_{mathcal{H}} |leq|x-y|_{mathcal{H}}
end{equation}

However is there a better answer than this? My Hilbert space is $L^2$. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Please be more specific or give us a context. What you mean by "better"? The inequality is sharp in the sense that there exist pairs $x,y$ such that equality is reached.

  • I would like to get rid of the absolute value. I would just like to have $|x|$ and $|y|$ on the left hand side. Is this even possible? I am trying to find an upper for bound $|u-v|^2_{L^2}$.

  • note that $r|x-y|le|x-y|$ for any $rin[0,1]$, choose whatever you want :)

  • I would like to have $|x-y|^2_{L^2}geq C(|x|^2-|y|^2)$.

  • You can just drop the absolute value, if you like. The inequality gets weaker by doing this.
