The Minkowski Inequality states that if 
is a nonzero real number, then for any positive numbers 
, the following holds:
Notice that if either 
or 
is zero, the inequality is equivalent to Holder's Inequality.
Equivalence with the standard form
For 
, putting 
and 
, the above becomes
.
Put 
and we get the form in which the Minkowski Inequality is given most often:
As the latter can be iterated, there is no loss of generality by putting 
.
