Synopisis

A new method for studying inequalities of the type ‖y(r)‖2<ε‖Sk−ry(k)‖2 + K(ε)‖S−ry‖2 and ‖y′‖2≦ Kp(S)‖Sy″‖ ‖S−1y‖ is presented here. With this new approach we obtain new and far reaching extensions of previously known inequalities of this sort as well as simpler proofs of the known cases. In addition we obtain an inequality of type ‖Sy′‖<ε‖(Sy′)′‖ + K(ε)‖y‖ for a general class of functions S. Also we give an elementary operator-theoretic proof of Everitt's characterization of the best constant as well as all cases of equality for
