Uniqueness Inequality and Best Harmonic L1-Approximation

  • Chapter
General Inequalities 5

Abstract

If v1 and V2 are two best L1-approximants to f ∈ L1(X) from a vector subspace V ⊂ L1(X), then (f-v1) (f-V2) ≥ 0 a.e. on X, where (X, A, μ) is a given measure space. This simple inequality helps to derive the uniqueness of a best harmonic L1-approximant to a given subharmonic function under weak assumptions. In addition, an existence theorem for best harmionic L1-approximants is given.
