- Conjugate index
-
In mathematics, two real numbers p,q > 1 are called conjugate indices if
Formally, we will also define as conjugate to p = 1 and vice versa.
Conjugate indices are used in Hölder's inequality. Also, if p,q > 1 are conjugate indices, the spaces Lp and Lq are dual to each other (see Lp space).
