In mathematical analysis, Agmon's inequalities, named after Shmuel Agmon,[1] consist of two closely related interpolation inequalities between the Lebesgue space
and the Sobolev spaces
. It is useful in the study of partial differential equations.
Let
where
[vague]. Then Agmon's inequalities in 3D state that there exists a constant
such that
![{\displaystyle \displaystyle \|u\|_{L^{\infty }(\Omega )}\leq C\|u\|_{H^{1}(\Omega )}^{1/2}\|u\|_{H^{2}(\Omega )}^{1/2},}](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
and
![{\displaystyle \displaystyle \|u\|_{L^{\infty }(\Omega )}\leq C\|u\|_{L^{2}(\Omega )}^{1/4}\|u\|_{H^{2}(\Omega )}^{3/4}.}](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
In 2D, the first inequality still holds, but not the second: let
where
. Then Agmon's inequality in 2D states that there exists a constant
such that
![{\displaystyle \displaystyle \|u\|_{L^{\infty }(\Omega )}\leq C\|u\|_{L^{2}(\Omega )}^{1/2}\|u\|_{H^{2}(\Omega )}^{1/2}.}](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
For the
-dimensional case, choose
and
such that
. Then, if
and
, the following inequality holds for any ![{\displaystyle u\in H^{s_{2}}(\Omega )}](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
![{\displaystyle \displaystyle \|u\|_{L^{\infty }(\Omega )}\leq C\|u\|_{H^{s_{1}}(\Omega )}^{\theta }\|u\|_{H^{s_{2}}(\Omega )}^{1-\theta }}](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
