Suppose $f$ is dericative and continuous on $[0,1]$, $f(0)=f(1)=0$, Prove
$$int_0^1|f(x)|^2dxlefrac{1}{4}int_0^1|f'(x)|^2dx$$




Tried to expand it as Taylor series, after trying some different points , still don't know how to connect $f$ and $f'$.

  • @ZacharySelk Is there an effective version of the inequality? It is true that $L^{2}$ norm of the original function can be bounded by the constant times $L^{2}$ norm of $f'$, but I can't find any reference that gives the explicit value of the constant.

Consider the Fourier expansion of $f(x)$:
$$
f(x) = sum_{n=1}^{infty} a_{n}sin(npi x).
$$

We have
$$
int_{0}^{1}f(x)^{2}dx = frac{1}{2}(a_{1}^{2} + a_{2}^{2} +a_{3}^{2} + cdots)
$$

and
$$
int_{0}^{1}f'(x)^{2}dx = frac{pi^{2}}{2}(a_{1}^{2} + 4a_{2}^{2} + 9a_{3}^{2} + cdots)
$$

so actually we have a stronger inequality
$$
int_{0}^{1} f(x)^{2}dx leq frac{1}{pi^{2}}int_{0}^{1}f'(x)^{2}dx
$$

where the equality holds for $f(x) = csin(pi x)$ for any $cin mathbb{R}$.

  • @JaqenChou It is called Parseval's theorem. Formally, you can take a square of the Fourier expansion and use the fact that $int_{0}^{1}sin^{2}(npi x)dx = 1/2$, $int_{0}^{1}sin(npi x)sin(mpi x)dx = 0$ for $nneq m$. (I realized that we need $1/2$ on the both side. I edited.
