Assume that a continuous function f(x) has uniform norm 5 on the
interval [1,4]. What is the largest possible value of the L2-norm of
f(x) on the intervals [1,4] and on [2,4]?
From what I understand about norms, the L2 norm is greater than the L∞ norm...and I don't see a bound of sorts. How would I deduce the answers?
Answer
Hint: if the uniform norm of f is 5 on [1,4] then sup
\int_{1}^{4}|f(x)|^2 dx \leq \int_{1}^{4} 5^2 dx
\int_{2}^{4}|f(x)|^2 dx \leq \int_{2}^{4} 5^2 dx
I think you might have been confused by the fact that "L_2 is greater than the uniform norm". In fact it is true that some norms are greater than others but they can be bounded by a smaller norm up to a constant. For instance in \mathbb{R^n} in general L_1\geq L_{\infty} but L_1\leq n L_{\infty}.
