Abstract

In this paper, the notation and denote the Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya spectral order relations for measurable functions defined on a fnite measure space (X,Λ,μ) with μ(X)=a, and expressions of the form fg and fg are called spectral inequalities. If f,gL1(X,Λ,μ), it is proven that, for some b0, log[b+(δfιg)+]log[b+(fg)+]log[b+(δfδg)+] whenever log+[b+(δfδg)+]L1([0,a]), here δ and ι respectively denote decreasing and increasing rearrangement. With the particular case b=0 of this result, the Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya-Luxemburg spectral inequality fgδfδg for 0f, gL1(X,Λ,μ) is shown to be a consequence of the well-known but seemingly unrelated spectral inequality f+gδf+δg (where f,gL1(X,Λ,μ)), thus giving new proof for the former spectral inequality. Moreover, the Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya-Luxemburg spectral inequality is also tended to give (δfιg)+(fg)+(δfδg)+ and (δfδg)(fg)(δfιg) for not necessarily non-negative f,gL1(X,Λ,μ).
