Abstract

As applications, the equivalent inequalities with the best constant factors, the reverses and some particular cases are obtained.

1 Introduction
If f(x), g(x) ≥ 0, such that and , then we have (cf. [1]):
where the constant factor π is the best possible. Inequality (1) is well known as Hilbert's integral inequality, which is important in Mathematical Analysis and its applications [2].
If p, r > 1, , λ > 0, f(x), g(x) ≥ 0, such that and, , then we have [3]:
where the constant factor is the best possible. By using the way of weight functions, we can get two Hilbert-type integral inequalities with non-homogeneous kernels similar to (1) and (2) as follows [4, 5]:
Some inequalities with the non-homogenous kernels have been studied in [6–8].
In this paper, by using the way of weight functions and the technique of real analysis, a new Hilbert-type integral inequality in the whole plane with the non-homogenous kernel and a best constant factor is built. As applications, the equivalent forms, the reverses and some particular cases are obtained.
2 Some lemmas
Lemma 1 If 0 < α1 < α2 < π, define the weight functions ω(y) and as follow:
Then, we have where
Proof. Setting u = x · |y| in (5), we find
For y ∈ (0, ∞), we have
Setting
we find
Then, we have
For y ∈ (-∞, 0), we can obtain
By the same way, we still can find that . The lemma is proved. □
Lemma 2 If p > 1, , 0 < α1 < α2 < π, f (x) is a nonnegative measurable function in (-∞,∞), then we have
Proof. By Lemma 1 and Hölder's inequality [9], we have
Then, by (6), (11) and Fubini theorem [10], it follows
The lemma is proved. □
3 Main results and applications
Theorem 3 If p > 1, , 0 < α1 < α2 < π, f (x), g(x) ≥ 0, satisfying and , then we have
where the constant factors k and kp are the best possible (k is defined by (7)). Inequality (12) and (13) are equivalent.
Proof. If (11) takes the form of equality for a y ∈ (-∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞), then there exists constants M and N, such that they are not all zero, and
Hence, there exists a constant C, such that
We suppose M ≠ 0 (otherwise N = M = 0). Then, it follows
which contradicts the fact that . Hence, (11) takes the form of strict sign-inequality; so does (10), and we have (13).
By Hö lder's inequality [9], we have
By (13), we have (12). On the other hand, suppose that (12) is valid. Setting
then . By (10), it follows J < ∞. If J = 0, then (13) is naturally valid. Assuming that 0 < J < ∞, by (12), we obtain
Hence, we have (13), which is equivalent to (12).
If the constant factor k in (12) is not the best possible, then there exists a positive constant K with K < k, such that (12) is still valid as we replace k by K, then we have
For ε > 0, define functions , as follows:
Replacing f(x), g(y) by , in (17), we obtain
where,
By Fubini theorem [10], we obtain
In view of the above results, by using (18) and (19), it follows
By Fatou lemma [10] and (20), we find
which contradicts the fact that K < k. Hence, the constant factor k in (12) is the best possible.
If the constant factor in (13) is not the best possible, then by (14), we may get a contradiction that the constant factor in (12) is not the best possible. Thus, the theorem is proved. □
Theorem 4 As the assumptions of Theorem 3, replacing p > 1 by 0 < p < 1, we have the equivalent reverse of (12) and (13) with the best constant factors.
Proof. The way of proving of Theorem 4 is similar to Theorem 3. By the reverse Hö lder's inequality [9], we have the reverse of (10) and (14). It is easy to obtain the reverse of (13). In view of the reverses of (13) and (14), we obtain the reverse of (12). On the other hand, suppose that the reverse of (12) is valid. Setting the same g(y) as theorem 3, by the reverse of (10), we have J > 0. If J = ∞, then the reverse of (13) is obvious value; if J < ∞, then by the reverse of (12), we obtain the reverses of (15) and (16). Hence, we have the reverse of (13), which is equivalent to the reverse of (12).
If the constant factor k in the reverse of (12) is not the best possible, then there exists a positive constant , such that the reverse of (12) is still valid as we replace k by . By the reverse of (20), we have
For , we have . For 0 < ε ≤ ε0, we obtain and
Then, by Lebesgue control convergence theorem [10], we have for ε → 0+ that
By Levi's theorem [10], we find for ε → 0+ that
By (22), (23) and (24), for ε → 0+ in (22), we have , which contradicts the fact that . Hence, the constant factor k in the reverse of (12) is the best possible.
If the constant factor in reverse of (13) is not the best possible, then by the reverse of (14), we may get a contradiction that the constant factor in the reverse of (12) is not the best possible. Thus, the theorem is proved. □
Remark 1 For α1 = α2 = α ∈ (0, π) in (12) and (13), we have the following equivalent inequalities:
where the constant factors and are the best possible.
Remark 2 For , p = q = 2 in (12) and (13), we have the following equivalent inequalities:
