Abstract
For non-decreasing real functions and , we consider the functional , where and are intervals with . In particular case with , , and , this reduces to the expression in classical Young's inequality. We survey some properties of Lebesgue-Stieltjes interals and present a new simple proof for change of variables. Further, we formulate a version of Young's inequality with respect to arbitrary positive finite measure on real line including a purely discrete case, and discuss an application related to medians of probability distributions and a summation formula that involves values of a function and its inverse at integers.
