COMMENTS
The corresponding Landau-Kolmogorov inequality for the first and third derivative is ||f'|| <= C(3,1) ||f||^(2/3) ||f'''||^(1/3) [see S. Finch ref. for C(n,k) and the general derivative inequalities], where the real-valued function f is defined on (0, infinity), the involved norm being the supremum norm, defined by ||f|| = sup |f(x)|.
Landau proved that if f is twice-differentiable and both f and f'' are bounded, then ||f'|| <= 2 ||f||^(1/2) ||f''||^(1/2), and the constant C(2,1) = 2 is the best possible.
Best constants C(n,k), 1 <= k <= n, can be explicitly computed only for particular cases.
