Kato's inequality

In functional analysis, a subfield of mathematics, Kato's inequality is a distributional inequality for the Laplace operator or certain elliptic operators. It was proven in 1972 by the Japanese mathematician Tosio Kato.

The original inequality is for some degenerate elliptic operators. This article treats the special (but important) case for the Laplace operator.
