Is it true that $$lim_ntoinftyint_n^n+1 g(x) dx=0,$$ for any $g$ in $L^2$? If true, how can I prove it? If not, what is the counterexample?

You have
$$
int_0^infty|g(x)|^2,dx = sum_n=0^inftyint_n^n+1|g(x)|^2,dx,
$$
so $int_n^n+1|g(x)|^2,dxto 0$ as $ntoinfty$. Hence, by Cauchy-Schwarz,
$$
int_n^n+1|g(x)|,dx,le,left(int_n^n+1|g(x)|^2,dxright)^1/2,to,0
$$
as $ntoinfty$.

  • I am not sure why the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality holds in the case. Is it reasonable to restrict the integration over [n,n+1] and let n go to infinity?
    – Steven Chen
    Jul 18 at 17:40










  • Of course you can use Cauchy-Schwarz. You have $1,|g|in L^2(n,n+1)$. So, $$int_n^n+1|g(x)|,dx = langle |g|,1rangle le |g|_L^2(n,n+1)|1|_L^2(n,n+1) = left(int_n^n+1|g(x)|^2,dxright)^1/2.$$

Use
$$left|int_n^n+1|g(x)|,dxright|^2leint_n^n+1|g(x)|^2,dx$$
and
$$sum_nint_n^n+1|g(x)|^2,dx<infty.$$

    Too much of true



    By Holder's inequality :



    $$int_n^n+1|g(x)|,dxle((n+1-n)int_n^n+1|g(x)|^2,dx)^1/2$$



    $$lim_ntoinftyint_n^n+1|g(x)|,dxlelim_ntoinfty(int_n^n+1|g(x)|^2,dx)^1/2=0$$

    • First, what you write is wrong. Using Hölder (which is Cauchy-Schwarz here), you have to use the square root on the RHS. Also, what's the reason for taking $|n+1-n|$? Finally, the way you're suggesting was already suggested in answers that were written 13 minutes before yours.
