Abstract: | Given a fixed exponent , , and suitable nonnegative weight functions , , an optimal associated weight function is constructed for which the iterated convolution product satisfies ![\begin{displaymath}\int _0^{\infty}\bigg|\bigg\prod _{j=1}^m*F_j\bigg](x)\bigg|^p\, \dfrac{dx}{\omega _m(x)}\le \prod _{j=1}^m\int _0^{\infty}|F_j(t)|^p\, \dfrac{dt}{v_j(t)}\end{displaymath}](http://www.ams.org/proc/1999-127-09/S0002-9939-99-05271-5/gif-abstract/img6.gif)
for all complex valued measurable functions with . Here and for each , . Analogous results are given when is replaced by and also when the convolution on is taken instead to be . The extremal functions are also discussed. |
