Weighted Cauchy--Schwarz for finite sums #

This file records the form of the Cauchy--Schwarz inequality that bounds a weighted first absolute moment by the square root of the corresponding weighted second moment.

Weighted Cauchy--Schwarz. If nonnegative weights sum to at most one and the weighted sum of squares of f is at most ε, then the weighted sum of |f| is at most √ε.
