this follows from Holder's inequality,and in my proof,for the sake of simplicity,i'll use it
Minkowski's inequality states that
\(\displaystyle\sum _{ n=1 }^{ k }{ ({ x }_{ n }+{ y }_{ n })^{ \frac { 1 }{ p } }\le (\displaystyle\sum _{ n=1 }^{ k }{ { x }_{ n }^{ p } } ) } ^{ \frac { 1 }{ p } }+(\displaystyle\sum _{ n=1 }^{ k }{ { y }_{ n }^{ p } } )^{ \frac { 1 }{ p } }\)
for p>1
and xn,yn≥0
Proof:
we know
n=1∑k(xn+yn)p=n=1∑kxn(xn+yn)p−1+n=1∑kyn(xn+yn)p−1
let's define a as a=p−1p now by Holder's inequality we have
n=1∑kxn(xn+yn)p−1+n=1∑kyn(xn+yn)p−1≤((n=1∑kxnp)p1+(n=1∑kynp)p1)((n=1∑k(xk+yk)p)a1)=((n=1∑kxnp)p1+(n=1∑kynp)p1)(n=1∑k(xn+yn)p)a1
dividing by n=1∑k(xn+yn)p)a1
we get
n=1∑k(xn+yn)p1≤(n=1∑kxnp)p1+(n=1∑kynp)p1
Hence proved

Can someone clearly prove for what conditions do we have the equality?
very good job dude :O

thanks :)
i tried 2 proofs,one was just too long,so i went with the simpler one :)
Great proof!!!!

You should post your findings in the wiki page, hölder's inequality.
Give introduction to minkowski's inequality
The term to the left in your result should be [sum((xn+yn)^p)]^(1/p), so what you have written is wrong here as a result.
