Kaijser and more recently H. Qu\\'{e}ffelec and A. Defant and P. Sevilla-Peris remarked that $C_{m}=(\\frac{2}{\\sqrt{\\pi}})^{m-1}$ also works. The Bohnenblust--Hille inequality also holds for real Banach spaces with the constants $C_{m}=2^{\\frac{m-1}{2}}$. In this note we show that a recent new proof of the Bohnenblust--Hille inequality (due to Defant, Popa and Schwarting) provides, in fact, quite better estimates for $C_{m}$ for all values of $m \\in \\mathbb{N}$. In particular, we will also show that, for real scalars, if $m$ is even with $2\\leq m\\leq 24$, then $$C_{\\mathbb{R},m}=2^{1/2}C_{\\mathbb{R},m/2}.$$ We will mainly work on a paper by Defant, Popa and Schwarting, giving some remarks about their work and explaining how to, numerically, improve the previously mentioned constants.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2011-07-31T14:14:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bohnenblust-hille inequality", "upper bounds", "positive integer", "real banach spaces", "quite better estimates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1010.0461P" } } }
