Find the value of p for which the following series converges? [closed]
$begingroup$
Let $x = (x_1, x_2, ldots )in l^4$, $xneq 0$. For which one of the following values of $p$, the series
$$
sum_{i=1}^{infty} x_i y_i
$$
converges for every $y = (y_1, y_2, ldots )in l^p$?
- A) 1
- B) 2
- C) 3
- D) 4
What I tried: I tried to use Hölder's inequality, I am almost done, I think I am just missing a little.
$|sum_{i=1}^{infty} x_i y_i|le
sum_{i=1}^{infty} |x_i y_i|le ||x||_4 ||y||_p $
where $p$ is the Hölder conjugate of $4$ which gives $p=4/3$.

Right -- and this points clearly at a unique correct option... But maybe what you are missing is that the family of spaces $(ell^p)_{p>0}$ is increasing... Thus, you might want to show this fact and then to apply it to your setting.

If $x in ell^{q}$ for every $q in [1,infty]$ then the series converges in all 4 cases. Assume that $x in ell^{4}setminus ell^{q}$ for all $q <4$. In this case the answer is A). You already know that the series converges if $y in ell ^{4/3}$. If $y in ell ^{p}$ with $p leq frac 4 3$ then $y in ell ^{4/3}$ so the series converges. To show that the series may not converge in cases B), C) and D) take $y_n=sign(x_n)|x_n|^{alpha}$ for a suitable $alpha$. I will leave the details to you.
