\begin{lemma}[Young's Inequality]
\label{lemma:young-inequality}
Let $p, q \in (1, \infty)$ such that $1/p + 1/q = 1$, then for any $a, b > 0$,
\[
ab \le \frac{a^p}{p} + \frac{b^q}{q}
\]
and for any $\eps > 0$,
\[
ab \le \eps a^p + \frac{1}{q}(\eps q)^{-q/p}b^q
\]
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Since $x \mapsto \exp(x)$ is convex,
\begin{align*}
ab &= \exp(\ln(a) + \ln(b)) = \exp\paren{\frac{1}{p}\ln(a^p) + \frac{1}{q}\ln(b^q)} \\
&\le \frac{1}{p}\exp(\ln(a^p)) + \frac{1}{q}\exp(\ln(a^q)) = \frac{a^p}{p} + \frac{b^q}{q}
\end{align*}
For any $\eps > 0$, applying the above inequality to $(\eps p)^{1/p}a$ and $b/(\eps p)^{1/p}$ yields
\[
ab = (\eps p)^{1/p}a \cdot \frac{b}{(\eps p)^{1/p}} \le \eps a^p + \frac{b^q}{q}(\eps p)^{-(1/p)q} = \eps a^p + \frac{1}{q}(\eps q)^{-q/p}b^q
\]
\end{proof}
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma:power-difference}
Let $p \in [1, \infty)$, then for each $a, b \ge 0$,
\[
|a^p - b^p| \le p|a - b|(a \vee b)^{p - 1}
\]
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Assume without loss of generality that $0 < a < b$, then
\[
b^p - a^p = p\int_{a}^b t^{p - 1}dt \le p|a - b|(a \vee b)^{p - 1}
\]
\end{proof}
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma:power-sum}
Let $p \in [1, \infty)$, then for each $a, b \ge 0$,
\[
(a + b)^p \le 2^{p-1}(a^p + b^p)
\]
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Since $t \mapsto t^p$ is convex,
\begin{align*}
\braks{\frac{a + b}{2}}^p &\le \frac{a^p}{2} + \frac{b^p}{2} \\
\frac{(a+b)^p}{2^p} &\le \frac{a^p}{2} + \frac{b^p}{2} \\
(a + b)^p &\le 2^{-1}(a^p + b^p)
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
