Littlewood's 4/3 inequality

In mathematical analysis, Littlewood's 4/3 inequality, named after John Edensor Littlewood,[1] is an inequality that holds for every complex-valued bilinear form defined on c0, the Banach space of scalar sequences that converge to zero.

Precisely, let B:c0 × c0 → ℂ or IR be a bilinear form. Then the following holds:

where

The exponent 4/3 is optimal, i.e., cannot be improved by a smaller exponent.[2] It is also known that for real scalars the aforementioned constant is sharp.[3]

Generalizations

Bohnenblust–Hille inequality

Bohnenblust–Hille inequality[4] is a multilinear extension of Littlewood's inequality that states that for all m-linear mapping M:c0 × ... × c0 → ℂ the following holds:
