How is the Cauchy-Schwarz equality and the assumption on the support of $g$ used to derive this bound?
I am currently reading On Uniqueness Properties of Solutions of Schrödinger Equations and a having trouble understanding a claim made on page 1819.
Context from the paper: let $g\in C^\infty_0(\...

How to compare the minimums of two discrete convex functions?
I have a question that troubled me for a long time.
If I have two convex discrete function $f(·)$ and $g(·)$ such that $f(·) \ge g(·)$. (may be not necessary?)
Let $x_1 = \text{argmin } f(·)$, ...

Finding the infimum of the range of a certain non-negative function associated to a $ C^{*} $-algebra
Let $ A $ be a non-trivial $ C^{*} $-algebra and $ n \in \mathbb{N} $. Setting $ \mathcal{D} \stackrel{\text{df}}{=} A^{n} \setminus \{ (0_{A},\ldots,0_{A}) \} $, we can define a function $ f: \...

Lower bound for Euler's function
Euler function is defined, for $|x|\le 1$, as follows:
$$\phi(x)=\prod_{i=1}^\infty(1-x^i)$$
Upper bounds for $\phi$ can be simply derived from ending the product early, e.g.
$$\phi(x)<\prod_{i=1}^...
