Linear Analysis
Part II, 2008

Suppose pp and qq are real numbers with p1+q1=1p^{-1}+q^{-1}=1 and p,q>1p, q>1. Show, quoting any results on convexity that you need, that

a1/pb1/qap+bqa^{1 / p} b^{1 / q} \leqslant \frac{a}{p}+\frac{b}{q}

for all real positive aa and bb.

Define the space lpl^{p} and show that it is a complete normed vector space.
