The optimal Hardy--Littlewood constants for $2$-homogeneous polynomials on $\ell_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{2})$ for $2<p\leq4$ are $2^{2/p}$
We show that the optimal constants for the Hardy--Littlewood inequalities for $2$-homogeneous polynomials on $\ell_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{2})$ are precisely $2^{2/p}$ for all $2<p<4.$
