(a) State Jensen's inequality. Give the definition of ∥⋅∥Lp\|\cdot\|_{L^{p}} and the space LpL^{p} for 1<p<∞1<p<\infty. If ∥f−g∥Lp=0\|f-g\|_{L^{p}}=0, is it true that f=gf=g ? Justify your answer. State and prove Hölder's inequality using Jensen's inequality.

(b) Suppose that (E,E,μ)(E, \mathcal{E}, \mu) is a finite measure space. Show that if 1<q<p1<q<p and f∈Lp(E)f \in L^{p}(E) then f∈Lq(E)f \in L^{q}(E). Give the definition of ∥⋅∥L∞\|\cdot\|_{L^{\infty}} and show that ∥f∥Lp→∥f∥L∞\|f\|_{L^{p}} \rightarrow\|f\|_{L^{\infty}} as p→∞p \rightarrow \infty.

(c) Suppose that 1<q<p<∞1<q<p<\infty. Show that if ff belongs to both Lp(R)L^{p}(\mathbb{R}) and Lq(R)L^{q}(\mathbb{R}), then f∈Lr(R)f \in L^{r}(\mathbb{R}) for any r∈[q,p]r \in[q, p]. If f∈Lp(R)f \in L^{p}(\mathbb{R}), must we have f∈Lq(R)f \in L^{q}(\mathbb{R}) ? Give a proof or a counterexample.
