How to prove Favard Inequality?

204 Views Asked by At

If $f:[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}_{+}$ is a continuous concave function taking non-negative values, and $p>1$ then: \begin{align} \left ( \frac{1}{b-a} \int_a^b f^p(x)dx \right )^{1/p} \leqslant \frac{2}{(p+1)^{1/p}}\left ( \frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^b f(x)dx \right ) \end{align}
