Let $a, b$, be positives and $a leq b$. For which $p$ the function $frac{1} {x^a+x^b}$ is $L_p(0,+infty)$?




I have solved without any problem the case $p=infty$ (and it is not $L_p$ in this case) , but I can't solve the other case.



I suppose I have to use some inequalities but I have no idea which ones, and how.



Anyone can help me?

    No idea at all? If you discuss $L_p$ spaces, I guess you know of elementary calculus, and then I think we could expect some effort. Do you know for what values of $alpha$ and $beta$ the integrals $int_0^1 x^alpha$ and $int_1^{+infty}x^beta$ are convergent?

Since $bgeq a>0$ you will have
$$
frac{1}{x^a+x^b}approx frac{1}{x^a}quadtext{if }xapprox 0
$$

and
$$
frac{1}{x^a+x^b}approx frac{1}{x^b}quadtext{as }xto+infty.
$$

Now use comparison to make this argument complete.

    For $x in (0,1)$ we have
    $$x^a le x^a+x^b le 2x^a$$
    so
    $$int_{(0,1)}frac1{2^px^{ap}} le int_{(0,1)}frac1{(x^a+x^b)^p} le int_{(0,1)}frac1{x^{ap}}$$
    Hence $frac1{x^a+x^b}$ is in $L^p(0,1)$ if and only if $ap > 1$, or $p > frac1a$.



    Similarly, for $x in (1, infty)$ we have
    $$x^b le x^a+x^b le 2x^b$$
    so
    $$int_{(1, infty)}frac1{2^px^{bp}} le int_{(1, infty)}frac1{(x^a+x^b)^p} le int_{(1, infty)}frac1{x^{bp}}$$
    Hence $frac1{x^a+x^b}$ is in $L^p(1, infty)$ if and only if $bp < 1$, or $p < frac1b$.



    Conclusion: $frac1{x^a+x^b}$ is in $L^p(0, infty)$ if and only if
