The condition and positivity imply . We prove the Generalized Holder inequality by induction on . The case is the usual Holder inequality. For the induction step, setThe exponents and are conjugate, so Hölder followed by the induction hypothesis givesThis proves the claim.

Since is bounded and smooth, the Sobolev embedding theorem gives continuous embeddings and . Because ,Taking the norm in time gives
For , the mean value theorem and implyApply the Generalized Holder inequality in space, using for the quadratic products and for the cubic products, and then use the two Sobolev embeddings. Pointwise in time this yieldsTaking the norm in time proves the required estimate with the factor .
