Abstract
In the present note we prove that every functionf: (0, ∞) → [0, ∞) satisfying the inequalityaf(s) + bf(t) ⩽ f(as + bt), s, t > 0, for somea andb such that 0 0). This improves our recent result in [2], where the inequality is assumed to hold for alls, t ⩾ 0, and gives a positive answer to the question raised there.

The converse theorem for Minkowski's inequality

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if there are A, B ϵ Σ such that 0 ϕ(t)=ϕ(1)t p, ψ(t))=ψ( 1)t 1 p, t>0), the assumption limt → 0 ψ (t) = 0 can be significantly weakened or, for some measure spaces, even omitted.
