Solving for a Bellman Function

The Bellman method is a tool that can be used to solve a wide variety of problems from harmonic analysis. However, the problem of finding the Bellman function for a specific problem was originally only possible with a guess-and-check method, although that problem has since been mitigated. This paper...

Summary:The Bellman method is a tool that can be used to solve a wide variety of problems from harmonic analysis. However, the problem of finding the Bellman function for a specific problem was originally only possible with a guess-and-check method, although that problem has since been mitigated. This paper applies the method pioneered by Vasily Vasyunin of finding the Bellman function directly to a problem presented in JanineWittwer’s survey article [5], and also explores how Bellman functions can be used to prove H˝older’s inequality.
