Abstract
We generalize the famous discrete Hardy inequality to
1 Introduction
The main theme of this paper is the following discrete Hardy inequalities.
Let
The family of Hardy inequalities, which consists of the discrete form and the integral form, is one of the most important inequalities in analysis. For the history of the Hardy inequalities, the reader is referred to Kufner et al. (2006, 2007). For the applications and further developments of this famous inequality, the reader may consult (Kufner et al., 2007; Kufner and Persson, 2003; Opic and Kufner, 1990).
Recently, the integral form Hardy inequality had been extended to Hardy spaces on
In this paper, we use the idea from Ho (2016) to obtain the above generalization (1) of Hardy’s inequality to
To apply the method in Ho (2016), we need to consider the discrete analogue of the classical Hardy spaces on
Thus, on one hand, we extend the classical discrete Hardy inequalities to
This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we recall the definition of the discrete Hardy spaces. The atomic decompositions for the discrete Hardy spaces are also presented in this section. The discrete Hardy inequalities with

In this section, we first recall the definition of the discrete Hardy spaces by discrete Hilbert transform on
For any sequence
For any
We use the definition of discrete Hardy spaces from (Boza and Carro, 1998, Definition 3.1).
Let
In view of the above definition, we see the reason why the second summation on the left hand side of (1) is taking over
We now present the atomic characterization of

The following result gives the atomic decomposition of
Let
The reader is referred to (Boza and Carro, 1998, Theorems 3.10 and 3.14) for the proof of the above theorem.
We can also characterize discrete Hardy spaces by using Poisson integral and area functions, see (Boza and Carro, 1998, Theorems 3.4 and 3.8). The reader is also referred to Boza (2012) and Kanjin and Satake (2000), Komori (2002) for the factorization theorem and the molecular characterizations of discrete Hardy spaces, respectively.
The reader is also referred to Herz (1973), Ho (2009, 2012), Jiao et al. (2017), Weisz (1994) for some other applications of the atomic decompositions such as the characterizations of BMO and martingale BMO.
3 Hardy’s inequalities
We establish the main result of this paper in this section. We first introduce the Hardy operators in order to simplify our presentation. For any

It is precisely the Hardy-Littlewood average for the sequence
We are now ready to present the main result of this paper, the mapping properties of

In view of (2), it establishes the discrete Hardy inequality (1).
We need several supporting results to obtain the proof of Theorem 2. We start with the mapping property of

The Hölder inequality yields

Since
Hence,
Lemma 3 applies to those

In view of Theorem 1, we have a sequence of scalars
We split the proof into three cases,
