is this norm lipschitz equivalent to uniform norm?

**szpengchao** · November 1st 2008, 09:26 AM

$\|f\|_{1}=\int_{0}^{1}{|f|} \ \ on \ \ C[0,1]$

uniform norm: $\|f\|_{\infty}=\sup \{|f(x)| : x\in [0,1] \}$

i think this is obvious:

$\|f\|_{1}\leq\|f\|_{\infty}$

but i cant find a positive real number a, $a\|f\|_{\infty}\leq\|f\|_{1}$

This is because there exists no such $a$ : for every $\varepsilon>0$ you can easily find $f\in\ C([0,1])$ such that $f(0)=1$ and $\int_0^1 |f|<\varepsilon$ : sketch the graph of a piecewise linear function that quickly decreases to 0 and then is constant equal to 0. (Or choose $f(x)=x^n$ for $n$ large enough if you prefer to write formulas (then $f(1)=1$ ))

ok. so they are not lipschitz equivalent then?

i don't get it. "a" can be arbitrarily small...

can't you do the following... let a -> 0+ and let A-> positive infinity. then it must be true that (a * uniform norm) <= norm1 <= (A * uniform norm) since 0 <= norm1 <= infinity, for all f.

what's wrong with that?

i understand there's a theory that all norms in Rn are Lipschitz equivalent to the Euclidian norm. then all should be Lipschitz equivalent to each other. seems applicable?

ok

but "a" can be arbitrarily small too...
