Abstract

Let (λn)n1(\lambda_n)_{n \geq 1} be a non-negative sequence with λ1>0\lambda_1>0 and let Λn=i=1nλi\Lambda_n=\sum^n_{i=1}\lambda_i. We study the following Copson inequality for 0<p<10<p<1, L>pL>p, \begin{align*} \sum^{\infty}_{n=1}\left (\frac 1{\Lambda_n} \sum^{\infty}_{k=n}\lambda_k x_k \right )^p \geq \left ( \frac {p}{L-p}\right )^p \sum^{\infty}_{n=1}x^p_n. \end{align*} We find conditions on λn\lambda_n such that the above inequality is valid with the constant being best possible.
