To majorize the right-hand side, we make use of the Cauchy-Bunyakovski1
inequality and the c:-inequality I ab I < c: a^2 + ~ c::-^1 b^2 with c: = 1, pennitting

By integrating with respect to t we thus have

At the next stage a similar estimate is needed in this connection for the
difference problem (16). We proceed as usual. This amounts to introducing
the inner products and associated norms:

(y, v) = L Y;V;h, II Y II= J(Y:y),
i=l
N
(y, v] = L Y; V; h, llYll = J(Y,Y] I
