Introduction

Discrete Hilbert-type inequalities including Hilbert's inequality are important in mathematical analysis and its applications. In 1998, the author presented an extension of Hilbert's integral inequality with an independent parameter. In 2004, some new extensions of Hilbert's inequality were presented by introducing two pairs of conjugate exponents and additional independent parameters. Since then, a number of new discrete Hilbert-type inequalities have arisen. In this book, the author explains how to use the way of weight coefficients and introduce specific parameters to build new discrete Hilbert-type inequalities and consider some applications. The book is intended to augment the reader's understanding of Hilbert-type inequalities.

Foreword

In 1934 G. H. Hardy, J. E. Littlewood and G. Polya published the book entitled "Inequalities", in which a few theorems about Hilbert-type inequalities with the homogeneous kernels of degree -1 and some special cases were considered. In 1991, Lizhi Xu first raised the way of weight coefficients to make a strengthened version of Hilbert’s inequality. In 1998, by applying the way of weight coefficients and introducing an independent parameter and the beta function, a best extension of Hilbert’s integral inequality was published in Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications by the author. In 2004 the author added two pairs of conjugate exponents and provided an extended Hilbert’s integral inequality. In 2009, the author published by Science Press (China) his book entitled "The Norm of Operator and Hilbert-Type Inequalities". In that book, two large classes of Hilberttype inequalities with the homogeneous kernels of a negative number degree, including integrals and series were discussed. However the author did not consider it an important case of Hardy-type inequalities. In October 2009, the author published an e-book entitled "Hilbert-Type Integral Inequalities" by Bentham Science Publishers Ltd. In that book, the author studied the broader case of Hilbert-type integral inequalities with the homogeneous kernels of a real number degree, which provide the best recent extensions of corresponding results. A number of equivalent forms as well as their reverses with several extended multiple inequalities in a number of particular cases are considered.

The book is divided into six chapters. In Chapter 1, some preliminary materials on the theory and methods of Hilbert-type inequalities, including the classical Hilbert’s inequality are discussed. Chapter 2 deals with an optimization of the methods of estimating the series and the weight coefficients. Some introductory theorems of improving the methods of Euler-Maclaurin summation formula are analyzed. In Chapter 3, by using the way of weight coefficients some fundamental theorems and corollaries on the discrete Hilbert-type inequalities with the homogeneous kernel of degree -1 are provided. The proofs regarding the best possible property of the constant factors are left to be studied in Chapter 4. In Chapter 4, some discrete Hilbert-type inequalities and their reverses with the general homogeneous kernel and the best constant factors are considered. These provide extensions of certain results of Chapter 3. By applying the improved Euler-Maclaurin summation formula and notions from Real Analysis, some particular examples are given. In Chapter 5 based upon some theorems of Chapter 4 and by applying techniques from Real Analysis, the author has explained how to use particular parameters to formulate some new Hilbert-type inequalities and their reverses with the best constant factors. In addition, a class of Hilberttype inequalities with the general measurable kernels is considered. In Chapter 6, the author has decently formulated some lemmas and obtained two equivalent multiple Hilbert-type inequalities and their reverses with the homogeneous kernel of a real number degree. These inequalities are the best extensions of the corresponding inequalities in Chapter 4. Some special examples are also studied.

The author has succeeded to present in this book an extensive account of several Hilbert-type inequalities in a self contained and rigorous manner. The book will be very useful not only to graduate students who study inequalities in the broader domain of Mathematical Analysis but also to research mathematicians who need the latest information to refer in.
