Abstract
Some inequalities will be presented, which give weighted norm estimates for derivatives of functions defined on the half-line. These inequalities are related to Hardy’s inequality, and they also generalize Hardy’s inequality to higher derivatives. The results presented here are also analogous to some recently-derived inequalities for the derivatives of functions defined on the
interval [−1,1], which have had important applications to the study of polynomial approximation
on [−1,1].
