Brezis excercise 4.12: $L_p$ is uniformly convex for $1<pleq 2$












1












$begingroup$



  1. Let $1<p<infty$. Prove that there is a constant $C$(depending only on $p$) such that $$|a-b|^pleq C(|a|^p+|b|^p)^{1-s}(|a|^p+|b|^p-2|dfrac{a+b}{2}|^p)^s$$ for all $a,bin mathbb{R}$ and $s=dfrac{p}{2}$.


2.Deduce that $L_p$ is uniformly convex for $1<pleq 2$.



I have an idea on how to prove 2, assuming 1 and using Holder's inequality I think I can do it, however I dont see a way to prove 1. any hints? Thanks in advance.

    This does not look homogenous. I would say $1-s$ instead of $s-1$.

    You may assume wlog that $a = 1$, due to homogeneity. Then it's essentially a one variable calculus problem.
