Hardy's inequality is an inequality in mathematics, named after G. H. Hardy. It states that if $a_1,a_2,a_3,\dots$ is a sequence of non-negative real numbers which is not identically zero, then for every real number p > 1 one has

$\sum _{n=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}{\left(\frac{a_1+a_2+\cdots +a_n}{n}\right)}^p<{\left(\frac{p}{p-1}\right)}^p\sum _{n=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}{a}_n^p.$

An integral version of Hardy's inequality states if f is an integrable function with non-negative values, then

$\underset{0}{\overset{\mathrm{\infty }}{\int }}{(\frac{1}{x}\underset{0}{\overset{x}{\int }}f(t)dt)}^{p}dx\le {\left(\frac{p}{p-1}\right)}^p\underset{0}{\overset{\mathrm{\infty }}{\int }}f(x{)}^{p}dx.$

Equality holds if and only if f(x) = 0 almost everywhere.

Hardy's inequality was first published and proved (at least the discrete version with a worse constant) in 1920 in a note by Hardy. The original formulation was in an integral form slightly different from the above.
