Carleman’s inequality


Theorem ([1], pp. 24) For positive real numbers {an}n=1, Carleman’s inequalityMathworldPlanetmath states that

n=1(a1a2an)1/nen=1an.

Although the constant e (the natural log base) is optimal, it is possible to refine Carleman’s inequality by decreasing the weight coefficients on the right hand side [2].
