1. Introduction
Let $S$
be a measurable set. $f(x)$
and $\mu (x)$
are two non-negative measurable functions defined on $S$
. Define

Particularly, for $\mu (x)=1$
, $\|f\|_{p,\mu }$
and $L^{p}_{\mu }(S)$
are abbreviated as $\|f\|_p$
and $L^{p}(S)$
respectively.
Suppose that $f$
, $g$
are two real-valued functions, $f, g\geq 0$
and $f, g\in L^{2}(\mathbb {R}^{+})$
. Then [Reference Hardy, Littlewood and Pólya3]
where the constant factor $\pi$
is the best possible. (1.1) is usually known as Hilbert inequality. Let $p>1$
, and $\frac {1}{p}+\frac {1}{q}=1$
, then we have a more general form of (1.1) as follows:
In addition, it can also be found in [Reference Hardy, Littlewood and Pólya3] that some other inequalities similar to (1.1), such as

Such inequalities as (1.2)–(1.4) are called Hilbert-type inequality. Since 1990s, by introducing parameters and special functions, researchers have established quite a lot of extensions and analogies of (1.2)–(1.4), such as the following one which was proved by Yang [Reference Yang26] in 2004:
where $r>0,$
$\mu (x)=x^{p(1-\frac {r}{s})-1},$
$\nu (y)=y^{q(1-\frac {r}{t})-1}$
and $\frac {1}{s}+\frac {1}{t}=1.$
Furthermore, Yang [Reference Yang28] established an analogy of (1.4) as follows:
where $L_0=\Sigma _{j=0}^{\infty }\frac {(-1)^{j}}{(2j+1)^{2}}=0.91596\cdots$
is the Catalan constant.
With regard to other extensions and analogies of (1.2)–(1.4), we can refer to [Reference Azar1,Reference Batbold, Krnić, Pečarić and Vuković2,Reference Krnić and Pečarić8,Reference Krnić, Pečarić, Perić and Vuković10,Reference Kuang12,Reference Li, Wang and He14,Reference Yang23–Reference Yang25,Reference Yang27,Reference Yang29,Reference Yang and Rassias31,Reference You36]. In addition, by the continuous innovation of kernel function, introducing parameters, studying the high-dimensional extension, coefficient refinement and the equivalent conditions of the best constant factor, and also considering the discrete and the half-discrete forms, a large number of new Hilbert-type inequalities have been established in recent years (see [Reference He, Yang and Chen4–Reference Hong, Liao, Yang and Chen6,Reference Krnić, Pečarić and Vuković9,Reference Krnić, Pečarić and Vuković11,Reference Rassias and Yang15,Reference Rassias and Yang19,Reference Rassias, Yang and Raigorodskii20,Reference Yang30,Reference Yang and Debnath32,Reference Yang, Wu and Wang34,Reference You35,Reference You38,Reference You and Yue39]). It should be pointed that the establishment of these new inequalities fully demonstrates the methods and techniques of analysis and proves to be of vital importance to the development of modern analysis.
It is well known that the classical Hilbert-type inequalities are usually constructed in the first quadrant. In recent years, with more and more researchers participating in the study of Hilbert-type inequalities, some researchers extended the range of variables to the whole plane and established many valuable new results (see [Reference Huang and Yang7,Reference Rassias and Yang16–Reference Rassias and Yang18,Reference Rassias, Yang and Raigorodskii21,Reference Yang, Hauang and Zhong33,Reference You37,Reference Wang and Yang41]). Inspired by the related results in these literatures, we will construct the following new inequalities:
where $\phi (u)=\cot u$
, $k\in \mathrm {N}$
, $\mu (x)=\frac {1}{\mid x\mid }$
, and $\nu (y)=\frac {1}{\mid y\mid }$
.
Furthermore, we will construct a new kernel function which includes some classical kernel functions and is defined in the whole plane, and then establish a new Hilbert-type inequality. Interestingly, we also present some new Hilbert-type inequalities with special kernel functions at the end of the paper.
2. Some lemmas
Lemma 1 (H$\ddot {\text {o}}$
lder's inequality [Reference Kuang13]) Let $p>1,$
$\frac {1}{p}+\frac {1}{q}=1$
. Let $f(x), g(x)\geq 0,$
and $f\in L^{p}(\Omega ),$
$g\in L^{q}(\Omega )$
. Then
and (2.1) takes the form of equality if and only if $C_1f^{p}=C_2g^{q}$
a. e. in $\Omega$
, where $C_1$
and $C_2$
are not both equal to zero.
Lemma 2 Let $\delta _1,\delta _2, \eta \in \{1,-1\}$
. Let $\alpha \geq 0$
for $\delta _1\delta _2=1$
and $\alpha >0$
for $\delta _1\delta _2=-1$
. Suppose that $\beta$
, $\gamma$
are such that $0<\gamma <\beta +2m-2n,$
where $m,n\in \mathbb {N},$
$m\geq n$
for $\beta >0$
and $m> n$
for $\beta \geq 0$
. Define
and

Then
where $\Gamma (s)=\int _{0}^{\infty } u^{s-1}e^{-u} \mathrm {d}u (s>0)$
is the $\Gamma$
-function [Reference Richard22,Reference Wang and Guo40], and $\Gamma (s)=(s-1)!$
for $s\in \mathbb {N}^{+}$
.
Proof.

Observing that $\frac {1}{1-u^{4m+2}} =\sum _{j=0}^{\infty } u^{(4m+2)j}$
for $0< u<1$
, and using Fubini's theorem, we obtain

Setting $\log u=\frac {-t}{(4m+2)j+\gamma }$
, we get
Similarly, we have
Plugging (2.7) and (2.8) into (2.6), we obtain

In addition, by variable substitution, we obtain

Applying (2.9) and (2.10) to (2.5), and using (2.3), we get (2.4).
Lemma 3 Let $\delta _1,\delta _2, \eta \in \{1,-1\}$
. Let $\alpha \geq 0$
for $\delta _1\delta _2=1$
and $\alpha >0$
for $\delta _1\delta _2=-1$
. Suppose that $\beta,$
$\gamma$
are such that $0<\gamma <\beta +2m-2n,$
where $m,n\in \mathbb {N},$
$m\geq n$
for $\beta >0$
and $m> n$
for $\beta \geq 0$
. $K(x,y)$
and $\kappa (\delta _1,\delta _2, m, n, \alpha, \beta,\gamma )$
are defined via Lemma 2. Let $p>1,$
$\frac {1}{p}+\frac {1}{q}=1$
, $E_{\eta }=\{y: \mid y\mid ^{\eta }<1\},$
and for arbitrary real number $\varepsilon (\varepsilon >0)$
which is sufficiently small, set

Then
Proof. Write $E_{\eta }^{-}=\{y: y\in E_\eta, y<0\},$
$E_{\eta }^{+}=\{y: y\in E_\eta, y>0\}.$
Then

Letting $u=xy^{\eta }$
, and using Fubini's theorem, we have

Similarly, letting $u=-xy^{\eta }$
, it can be also obtained that
Applying (2.13) and (2.14) to (2.12), and letting $\varepsilon \to 0^{+}$
, we get

Lemma 3 is proved.
Lemma 4 Let $0< z<1,$
$\phi (u)=\cot u$
and $k\in \mathbb {N}$
. Then


Proof. Write $\psi (u)=\tan u$
in the form of rational fraction expansion [Reference Richard22,Reference Wang and Guo40]:

Taking the $(2k)$
th derivative of $\psi (u)=\tan u$
, we get

Observing that $\phi ^{(2k)}(z\pi )=\psi ^{(2k)}\left(\tfrac {\pi }{2}-z\pi \right)$
, and setting $u=\frac {\pi }{2}-z\pi$
in (2.18), we obtain (2.15). Finding the first derivative of (2.18), and in view of $\phi ^{(2k+1)}(z\pi )=-\psi ^{(2k+1)} \left(\tfrac {\pi }{2}-z\pi \right)$
, we arrive at (2.16). Lemma 4 is proved.
3. Main results
Theorem 1 Let $\delta _1,\delta _2, \eta \in \{1,-1\}$
. Let $\alpha \geq 0$
for $\delta _1\delta _2=1$
and $\alpha >0$
for $\delta _1\delta _2=-1$
. Suppose that $\beta,$
$\gamma$
are such that $0<\gamma <\beta +2m-2n,$
where $m,n\in \mathbb {N}$
, $m\geq n$
for $\beta >0$
and $m> n$
for $\beta \geq 0$
. Let $p>1,$
$\frac {1}{p}+\frac {1}{q}=1,$
$\mu (x)=\mid x\mid ^{p(1-\gamma )-1},$
and $\nu (y)= \mid y\mid ^{q(1-\eta \gamma )-1}$
. Suppose that $f(x),$
$g(y)>0$
with $f(x)\in L_{\mu }^{p}(\mathbb {R})$
and $g(y)\in L_{\nu }^{q}(\mathbb {R})$
. $K(x,y)$
and $\kappa (\delta _1,\delta _2, m, n, \alpha, \beta,\gamma )$
are defined via Lemma 2. Then
where the constant factor $\Gamma (\alpha )\kappa (\delta _1,\delta _2, m, n, \alpha, \beta,\gamma )$
is the best possible.
Proof. By Lemma 1, we obtain

where $\omega (x)=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty } K(x, y)\mid y\mid ^{\eta \gamma -1}\mathrm {d}y,$
and $\varpi (y)=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty } K(x, y)\mid x\mid ^{\gamma -1} \mathrm {d}x.$![]()
Letting $xy^{\eta }=u$
, and using (2.4), we obtain

and

Applying (3.3) and (3.4) to (3.2), it follows that
Assume that (3.5) takes the form of equality. By Lemma 1, it can be obtained that
a. e. in $\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}$
, where $C_1$
and $C_2$
are not both equal to zero. Simplifying (3.6), we have
a. e. in $\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}$
. It follows, therefore, that there exists a constant $C$
such that $C_1\mid x\mid ^{p(1-\gamma )}f^{p}(x)=C,$
a. e. in $\mathbb {R}$
, and $C_2\mid y\mid ^{q(1-\eta \gamma )}g^{q}(y)=C,$
a. e. in $\mathbb {R}$
. Assuming that $C_1\neq 0$
, we obtain $\mid x\mid ^{p(1-\gamma )-1}f^{p}(x)=\frac {C}{C_1\mid x\mid }$
a.e. in $\mathbb {R},$
which is obviously in contradiction with the condition $f(x)\in L_{\mu }^{p}(\mathbb {R})$
. Therefore, (3.5) takes the form of strict inequality, and (3.1)is proved.
In order to prove Theorem 1, it suffices to prove that the constant factor $\Gamma (\alpha +1) \kappa (\delta _1,\delta _2, m, n, \alpha, \beta,\gamma )$
is the best possible. Assume that there is a positive constant $c$
being such that $c<\Gamma (\alpha +1)\kappa (\delta _1,\delta _2, m, n, \alpha, \beta,\gamma )$
, and (3.1) is still valid if $\Gamma (\alpha +1) \kappa (\delta _1,\delta _2, m, n, \alpha, \beta,\gamma )$
is replaced with $c$
, that is,
Replace $f$
and $g$
in (3.7) by $\tilde {f}$
and $\tilde {g}$
defined in Lemma 3, respectively. Then

It follows from (2.11) and (3.8) that $\Gamma (\alpha +1)\kappa (\delta _1,\delta _2, m, n, \alpha, \beta,\gamma )\leq k,$
which contradicts the assumption obviously. Therefore, the constant factor in (3.1) is the best possible and the proof of Theorem 1 is completed.
Theorem 2 Let $\delta _1,\delta _2, \eta \in \{1,-1\}$
. Let $\alpha \geq 0$
for $\delta _1\delta _2=1$
and $\alpha >0$
for $\delta _1\delta _2=-1$
. Suppose that $\beta,$
$\gamma$
are such that $0<\gamma <\beta +2m-2n,$
where $m,n\in \mathbb {N},$
$m\geq n$
for $\beta >0$
and $m> n$
for $\beta \geq 0$
. Let $p>1,$
$\frac {1}{p}+\frac {1}{q}=1,$
and $\mu (x)=\mid x\mid ^{p(1-\gamma )-1}$
. Suppose that $f(x)\geq 0$
with $f(x)\in L_{\mu }^{p}(\mathbb {R})$
. $K(x,y)$
and $\kappa (\delta _1,\delta _2, m, n, \alpha, \beta,\gamma )$
are defined via Lemma 2. Then

where $[\Gamma (\alpha +1)\kappa (\delta _1,\delta _2, m, n, \alpha, \beta,\gamma )]^{p}$
is the best possible, and (3.9) is equivalent to (3.1).
Proof. Let $\hat g(y)$
be an arbitrary measurable function with $\hat g\in L_{\hat \nu }^{q}(\mathbb {R})$
, $\|\hat g\|_{q,\hat \nu }=1$
, where $\hat \nu (y):=\mid y\mid ^{p\eta \gamma -1}$
. Let $g(y):=\hat g(y)\hat \nu (y)$
, $\nu (y):=\mid y\mid ^{q(1-\eta \gamma )-1}$
. Then we obtain $g\in L_{\nu }^{q}(\mathbb {R})$
, and $\| g\|_{q,\nu }=\|\hat g\|_{q,\hat \nu }=1$
. By the use of Theorem 1, we have
that is,

Therefore, it follows from $\|\hat g\|_{q,\hat \nu }=1$
and (3.10) that

By (3.11), (3.9) follows naturally. On the contrary, assuming that (3.9) holds true, and using H$\ddot {o}$
lder's inequality, we have

Applying (3.9) to (3.12), we obtain (3.1). Therefore, (3.1) and (3.9) are equivalent. It follows from the equivalence of (3.1) and (3.9) that the constant factor on the right side of (3.9) is also the best possible. Theorem 2 is proved.
4. Applications
Letting $m=n$
, $\delta _1\delta _2=1$
in Theorem 1, we can easily get
and Theorem 1 is transformed into the following corollary.
Corollary 1 Let $\eta \in \{1,-1\},$
$\alpha \geq 0,$

in (4.1), and replacing $g(y)\mid y\mid ^{\beta }$
by $g(y),$

, $\nu (y)=\mid y\mid ^{q(1+\gamma -\beta )-1}$
.
Let $\beta =2$
, $\gamma =1$
in (4.2), then it follows (1.7).
Let $\alpha =0$
, $\beta =1$
, $\gamma =\frac {1}{q}$

in (4.3), and replacing $g(y)y^{2}$
by $g(y)$
. Then

where $\mu (x)=\frac {1}{\mid x\mid }$
and $\nu (y)=\frac {1}{\mid y\mid }$
.
Letting $\delta _1=\delta _2=\delta$
, $\delta \in \{1,-1\}$
, $\alpha =\beta =0$
in Theorem 1, and using (2.15) again, we obtain Corollary 3.

and $0<\gamma <2m-2n$
. Suppose that $p>1,$
$\frac {1}{p}+\frac {1}{q}=1,$
$\mu (x)=\mid x\mid ^{p(1-\gamma )-1}$
and $\nu (y)=\mid y\mid ^{q(1-\eta \gamma )-1}$
. Let $\phi (u)=\cot u,$
and $f(x),$
$g(y)>0$
with $f(x)\in L_{\mu }^{p}(\mathbb {R}),$
$g(y)\in L_{\nu }^{q}(\mathbb {R})$
. Then

Setting $\gamma =m-n$
, $\eta =-1$
, and replacing $g(y)\mid y\mid ^{2m-2n}$
by $g(y)$
, we obtain
where $\mu (x)=\mid x\mid ^{p(1+n-m)-1}$
and $\nu (y)=\mid y\mid ^{q(1+n-m)-1}$
.
Let $m=1,$
$n=0$
in (4.6), then we obtain
Let $m=7,$
$n=2$
in (4.6), then we obtain
Letting $\delta _1=\delta$
, $\delta _2=-\delta$
, $\delta \in \{1,-1\}$
, $\beta =0$
, $\alpha =2k+1$
, $k\in \mathbb {N}$
in Theorem 1, and using (2.16), we obtain the following corollary.
Corollary 4 Let $\delta, \eta \in \{1,-1\},$
$m, n, k\in \mathbb {N},$
$m>n,$

. Suppose that $p>1,$
$\frac {1}{p}+\frac {1}{q}=1,$

and $\nu (y)=\mid y\mid ^{q(1-\eta \gamma )-1}$
. Let $\phi (u)=\cot u$
, and $f(x),$
$g(y)>0$
with $f(x)\in L_{\mu }^{p}(\mathbb {R}),$
$g(y)\in L_{\nu }^{q}(\mathbb {R})$
. Then

Setting $\delta =\eta =-1$
, $n=k=0$
, $m=\gamma =1$
in (4.9), and replacing $g(y)\mid y\mid ^{2}$
by $g(y)$
, we obtain
Letting $\delta _1=\delta _2=-1$
, $\beta =n=0$
, $\alpha =2k$
, $k\in \mathbb {N}$
in Theorem 1, and using (2.15), we get the following corollary.
Corollary 5 Let $\eta \in \{1,-1\},$
$k\in \mathbb {N},$
$m\in \mathbb {N}^{+}$
and $0<\gamma <2m$
. Suppose that $p>1,$
$\frac {1}{p}+\frac {1}{q}=1,$
$\mu (x)=\mid x\mid ^{p(1-\gamma )-1}$
and $\nu (y)=\mid y\mid ^{q(1-\eta \gamma )-1}$
. Let $\phi (u)=\cot u,$
and $f(x),$
$g(y)>0$
with $f(x)\in L_{\mu }^{p}(\mathbb {R}),$
$g(y)\in L_{\nu }^{q}(\mathbb {R})$
. Then

Let $\eta =-1$
, $m=\gamma =1$
in (4.11), and replace $g(y)y^{2}$
by $g(y)$
. Then

where $\mu (x)=\frac {1}{\mid x\mid }$
and $\nu (y)=\frac {1}{\mid y\mid }$
.
Let $k=1$
in (4.12), then it follows that
