Further Improvements to the Lower Bound for an Autoconvolution Inequality

Year: 2025
Type: preprint
Abstract: We construct a nonnegative step function comprising 2,399 equally spaced intervals such that \[ \frac{\|f * f\|_{L^{2}(\mathbb{R})}^{2}}{\|f * f\|_{L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R})}\,\|f * f\|_{L^{1}(\mathbb{R})}} \;\ge\; .926529. \] Using a 4x upsampling procedure on this 559-interval optimizer, we further increase the bound to $.94136$, closing roughly 40\% of the gap between the previous best bound (.901562 on 575 intervals) and the trivial upper limit of 1.
