Abstract
We show that Hardy's inequalities for Laguerre expansions hold on the space L1(0,∞) when the Laguerre parameters α are positive, and we prove that although the inequality holds on the real Hardy space H1(0,∞) if α = 0, it does not hold on L1(0,∞). Further, Hardy's inequality for Hermite expansion is established on L1(0,∞).
