A Hilbert-type linear operator is defined. As for applications, a
more precise operator inequality with the norm and its equivalent
forms are deduced. Moreover, three equivalent reverses from them
are given as well. The constant factors in these inequalities are
proved to be the best possible.
1. Introduction
In 1925, Hardy [1] extended Hilbert inequality as follows.
If , , , and , then
where is a pair of conjugate exponents. The constant factors and are the best possible. The expression (1.1) is the famous Hardy-Hilbert's inequality.
Under the same conditions, there are the classic inequalities [2]:
where the constant factors and are also the best possible. The expression (1.3) is well known as a Hilbert-type inequality.
By setting a real space of sequences: and defining a linear operator , , the expressions (1.3) and (1.4) can be rewritten as
respectively, where , . is the formal inner product of and .
The inequalities (1.1)–(1.4) play important roles in theoretical analysis and applications [3]. These inequalities and their integral forms have been recently extended or strengthened in [4–8]. Zhao and Debnath [9] obtained a Hilbert-Pachpatte's reverse inequality. Zhong and Yang [10, 11] have given some reverses concerning some extensions of (1.1). Papers in [12–15] studied some multiple Hardy-Hilbert-type or Hilbert-type inequalities. Articles in [16, 17] got some Hilbert-type linear operator inequalities. In 2006, Yang [18] deduced a new Hilbert-type inequality as follows.
Set as a pair of conjugate exponents, and , such that , , then one has
It has been proved that (1.7) and (1.8) are two equivalent inequalities and their constant factors and are the best possible. When , the expressions (1.7) and (1.8) can be reduced to (1.3) and (1.4), respectively.
This paper reports the studies on a Hilbert-type linear operator . As for the applications, a more precise linear operator's general form of Hilbert-type inequality (1.3) incorporating the norm and its equivalent form are deduced. Moreover, three equivalent reverses of the new general forms are deduced as well. The constant factors in these inequalities are all the best possible.
At first, two known results are introduced.
(1) If , is a pair of conjugate exponents, then the Beta function is defined as follows (cf. [2, Theorem 342]),
(2) (Euler-Maclaurin's summation formula). Set , if , then (cf. [19, Lemma 1])
2. Lemmas
Lemma 2.1. Set as a pair of conjugate exponents, , , , and define
Then, one has the following: (1)the function satisfies the conditions of (1.10) and (1.11). This means

This implies that (2.19) holds.
From the monotonic decrease of the function (see (2.3), and , one has . On the other hand, if and by the computation as in (2.16),
Equation (2.20) is valid.
