= Ladyzhenskaya inequality in two dimensions
{c}

This is the two-dimensional form of <Ladyzhenskaya's inequality>. For $u\in C_c^\infty(\mathbb R^2)$,
$$
\lVert u\rVert_4^4
\leq4\lVert u\rVert_2^2\lVert\nabla u\rVert_2^2.
$$
Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus to $|u|^2$ in each coordinate, multiply the resulting one-dimensional bounds, integrate, and use Cauchy--Schwarz.
