Recall that for $x, y \in \mathcal{X}\setminus\{0\}$, the \textbf{Clarkson angle} \cite{CLARKSON} between $x$ and $y$ is defined as \begin{align*} \alpha[x,y]\coloneqq \left\|\frac{x}{\|x\|}-\frac{y}{\|y\|}\right\|. \end{align*} Important Massera-Schaffer inequality \cite{MASSERASCHAFFER} says that \begin{align}\label{MS} \alpha[x,y]=\left\|\frac{x}{\|x\|}-\frac{y}{\|y\|}\right\|\leq \frac{2\|x-y\|}{\max\{\|x\|, \|y\|\}}, \quad \forall x, y \in \mathcal{X}\setminus\{0\}. \end{align} Maligranda improved Inequality (\ref{MS}) in 2006 \cite{MALIGRANDA}. \begin{theorem} \cite{MALIGRANDA, MERCER} \label{DWMT} (\textbf{Massera-Schaffer-Maligranda Inequality}) Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a NLS. Then for all $x, y \in \mathcal{X}\setminus\{0\}$, \begin{align}\label{MI} \alpha[x,y]=\left\|\frac{x}{\|x\|}-\frac{y}{\|y\|}\right\|\leq \frac{\|x-y\|+|\|x\|-\|y\||}{\max\{\|x\|, \|y\|\}}\leq \frac{2\|x-y\|}{\max\{\|x\|, \|y\|\}}. \end{align} \end{theorem} We note that, in 1964 Dunkl and Williams \cite{DUNKLWILLIAMS} independently showed that \begin{align}\label{DW} \left\|\frac{x}{\|x\|}-\frac{y}{\|y\|}\right\|\leq \frac{4\|x-y\|}{\|x\|+\|y\|}, \quad \forall x, y \in \mathcal{X}\setminus\{0\}. \end{align} Note that \begin{align*} \frac{2\|x-y\|}{\max\{\|x\|, \|y\|\}}\leq \frac{4\|x-y\|}{\|x\|+\|y\|}, \quad \forall x, y \in \mathcal{X}\setminus\{0\}. \end{align*} Therefore Inequality (\ref{MS}) improves Inequality (\ref{DW}). Inequality (\ref{DW}) is famously known as Dunkl-Williams inequality in the literature. In 2007, Pecaric and Rajic extended Inequality (\ref{MI}) to finitely many nonzero elements \cite{PECARICRAJIC}. \begin{theorem} \cite{PECARICRAJIC} (\textbf{Massera-Schaffer-Maligranda-Pecaric-Rajic Inequality}) \label{DWMPRT} Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a NLS and $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Then for all $x_1, \dots, x_n \in \mathcal{X}\setminus\{0\}$, \begin{align*} \left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}\frac{x_j}{\|x_j\|}\right\|\leq \min_{1\leq k \leq n}\left\{\frac{1}{\|x_k\|}\left(\left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}x_j\right\|+\sum_{j=1}^{n}\big|\|x_j\|-\|x_k\|\big|\right)\right\}. \end{align*} \end{theorem} It is important to ask what are non-Archimedean versions of Theorems \ref{DWMT} and \ref{DWMPRT}? We answer the question by deriving non-Archimedean Massera-Schaffer-Maligranda-Pecaric-Rajic Inequality (Theorem \ref{NAMSMPRT}). \section{Non-Archimedean Massera-Schaffer-Maligranda-Pecaric-Rajic Inequality} Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field. A map $|\cdot|: \mathbb{K} \to [0, \infty)$ is said to be a non-Archimedean valuation if following conditions holds. \begin{enumerate}[\upshape(i)] \item If $\lambda \in \mathbb{K}$ is such that $|\lambda|=0$, then $\lambda=0$. \item $|\lambda \mu|=|\lambda||\mu|$ for all $\lambda, \mu \in \mathbb{K}$. \item (Ultra-triangle inequality) $|\lambda+\mu|\leq \max\{|\lambda|, |\mu|\}$ for all $\lambda, \mu \in \mathbb{K}$. \end{enumerate} In this case, $\mathbb{K}$ is called as non-Archimedean valued field \cite{SCHIKHOF}. Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a vector space over a non-Archimedean valued field $\mathbb{K}$ with valuation $|\cdot|$. A map $\|\cdot\|: \mathcal{X} \to [0, \infty)$ is said to be a non-Archimedean norm if following conditions holds. \begin{enumerate}[\upshape(i)] \item If $x \in \mathcal{X}$ is such that $\|x\|=0$, then $x=0$. \item $\|\lambda x\|=|\lambda|\|x\|$ for all $\lambda \in \mathbb{K}$, for all $x \in \mathcal{X}$. \item (Ultra-norm inequality) $\|x+y\|\leq \max\{\|x\|, \|y\|\}$ for all $x,y \in \mathcal{X}$. \end{enumerate} In this case, $\mathcal{X}$ is called as non-Archimedean linear space (NALS) \cite{GARCIASCHIKHOF}. Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a NALS over $\mathbb{K}$. Let $x, y \in \mathcal{X}\setminus\{0\}$ with $\|x\|, \|y\| \in \mathbb{K}$. We define the \textbf{non-Archimedean Clarkson angle} between $x$ and $y$ as \begin{align*} \alpha[x,y]\coloneqq \left\|\frac{x}{\|x\|}-\frac{y}{\|y\|}\right\|. \end{align*} Non-Archimedean version of Theorem \ref{DWMT} now reads as follows. \begin{theorem} (\textbf{Non-Archimedean Massera-Schaffer Inequality}) Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a NALS over $\mathbb{K}$. Then for all $x, y \in \mathcal{X}\setminus\{0\}$ with $\|x\|, \|y\| \in \mathbb{K}$ it holds \begin{align*} \alpha[x,y]= \left\|\frac{x}{\|x\|}-\frac{y}{\|y\|}\right\|\leq \min \left\{\frac{1}{\big|\|x\|\big|}\max\left\{\|x-y\|, \left|1-\frac{\|x\|}{\|y\|}\right|\|y\|\right\}, \frac{1}{\big|\|y\|\big|}\max\left\{\|x-y\|, \left|1-\frac{\|y\|}{\|x\|}\right|\|x\|\right\}\right\}. \end{align*} \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Let $x, y \in \mathcal{X}\setminus\{0\}$ with $\|x\|, \|y\| \in \mathbb{K}$. Then \begin{align*} \left\|\frac{x}{\|x\|}-\frac{y}{\|y\|}\right\|&= \left\|\frac{x-y}{\|x\|}+\left(\frac{1}{\|x\|}-\frac{1}{\|y\|}\right)y\right\|\\ &\leq \max \left\{\left\|\frac{x-y}{\|x\|}\right\|, \left\|\left(\frac{1}{\|x\|}-\frac{1}{\|y\|}\right)y\right\|\right\}\\ &\leq \max \left\{\frac{\|x-y\|}{\big|\|x\|\big|}, \left|\frac{1}{\|x\|}-\frac{1}{\|y\|}\right|\|y\|\right\}\\ &= \max \left\{\frac{\|x-y\|}{\big|\|x\|\big|}, \frac{1}{\left|\|x\|\right|}\left|1-\frac{\|x\|}{\|y\|}\right|\|y\|\right\}\\ \end{align*} and \begin{align*} \left\|\frac{x}{\|x\|}-\frac{y}{\|y\|}\right\|&= \left\|\left(\frac{1}{\|x\|}-\frac{1}{\|y\|}\right)x+\frac{x-y}{\|y\|}\right\|\\ &\leq \max \left\{\left\|\left(\frac{1}{\|x\|}-\frac{1}{\|y\|}\right)x\right\|, \left\|\frac{x-y}{\|y\|}\right\|\right\}\\ &\leq \max \left\{\left|\frac{1}{\|x\|}-\frac{1}{\|y\|}\right|\|x\|, \frac{\|x-y\|}{\big|\|y\|\big|}\right\}\\ &\leq \max \left\{\frac{1}{\big|\|y\|\big|}\left|1-\frac{\|y\|}{\|x\|}\right|\|x\|, \frac{\|x-y\|}{\big|\|y\|\big|}\right\}. \end{align*} Therefore \begin{align}\label{1} \left\|\frac{x}{\|x\|}-\frac{y}{\|y\|}\right\|\leq \frac{1}{\big|\|x\|\big|}\max\left\{\|x-y\|, \left|1-\frac{\|x\|}{\|y\|}\right|\|y\|\right\} \end{align} and \begin{align}\label{2} \left\|\frac{x}{\|x\|}-\frac{y}{\|y\|}\right\|\leq \frac{1}{\big|\|y\|\big|}\max\left\{\|x-y\|, \left|1-\frac{\|y\|}{\|x\|}\right|\|x\|\right\}. \end{align} Inequalities (\ref{1}) and (\ref{2}) give \begin{align*} \left\|\frac{x}{\|x\|}-\frac{y}{\|y\|}\right\|&\leq\min \left\{\frac{1}{\big|\|x\|\big|}\max\left\{\|x-y\|, \left|1-\frac{\|x\|}{\|y\|}\right|\|y\|\right\}, \frac{1}{\big|\|y\|\big|}\max\left\{\|x-y\|, \left|1-\frac{\|y\|}{\|x\|}\right|\|x\|\right\}\right\}. \end{align*} \end{proof} Note the additional assumption $\|x\|, \|y\| \in \mathbb{K}$ in the previous theorem. This is necessary because, since the norm is a real number, we generally cannot guarantee that it belongs to the given non-Archimedean field. We now derive the non-Archimedean version of Theorem \ref{DWMPRT}. \begin{theorem} \label{NAMSMPRT} (\textbf{Non-Archimedean Massera-Schaffer-Maligranda-Pecaric-Rajic Inequality}) Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a NALS over $\mathbb{K}$ and $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Then for all $x_1, \dots, x_n \in \mathcal{X}\setminus\{0\}$ with $\|x_1\|, \dots, \|x_n\| \in \mathbb{K}$ it holds \begin{align*} \left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}\frac{x_j}{\|x_j\|}\right\|\leq \min_{1\leq k \leq n}\left\{\frac{1}{\big|\|x_k\|\big|} \max \left\{\left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}x_j\right\|, \max_{1\leq j \leq n} \left|1-\frac{\|x_k\|}{\|x_j\|}\right|\|x_j\|\right\}\right\}. \end{align*} \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Let $x_1, \dots, x_n \in \mathcal{X}\setminus\{0\}$ with $\|x_1\|, \dots, \|x_n\| \in \mathbb{K}$. Let $1\leq k \leq n$ be fixed. Then \begin{align*} \left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}\frac{x_j}{\|x_j\|}\right\|&=\left\|\frac{x_k}{\|x_k\|}+\sum_{j=1, j \neq k}^{n}\frac{x_j}{\|x_j\|}\right\|\\ &=\left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}\frac{x_j}{\|x_k\|}-\sum_{j=1, j \neq k}^{n}\frac{x_j}{\|x_k\|}+\sum_{j=1, j \neq k}^{n}\frac{x_j}{\|x_j\|}\right\|\\ &=\left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}\frac{x_j}{\|x_k\|}-\sum_{j=1, j \neq k}^{n}\left(\frac{1}{\|x_k\|}-\frac{1}{\|x_j\|}\right)x_j\right\|\\ &=\left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}\frac{x_j}{\|x_k\|}-\sum_{j=1}^{n}\left(\frac{1}{\|x_k\|}-\frac{1}{\|x_j\|}\right)x_j\right\|\\ &\leq \max \left\{\left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}\frac{x_j}{\|x_k\|}\right\|, \left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}\left(\frac{1}{\|x_k\|}-\frac{1}{\|x_j\|}\right)x_j\right\|\right\}\\ &=\max \left\{\frac{1}{\big|\|x_k\|\big|}\left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}x_j\right\|, \left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}\left(\frac{1}{\|x_k\|}-\frac{1}{\|x_j\|}\right)x_j\right\|\right\}\\ &\leq \max \left\{\frac{1}{\big|\|x_k\|\big|}\left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}x_j\right\|, \max_{1\leq j \leq n} \left\|\left(\frac{1}{\|x_k\|}-\frac{1}{\|x_j\|}\right)x_j\right\|\right\}\\ &= \max \left\{\frac{1}{\big|\|x_k\|\big|}\left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}x_j\right\|, \frac{1}{\big|\|x_k\|\big|}\max_{1\leq j \leq n} \left|1-\frac{\|x_k\|}{\|x_j\|}\right|\|x_j\|\right\}\\ &=\frac{1}{\big|\|x_k\|\big|} \max \left\{\left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}x_j\right\|, \max_{1\leq j \leq n} \left|1-\frac{\|x_k\|}{\|x_j\|}\right|\|x_j\|\right\}. \end{align*} By varying $k$ and taking minimum in the right side of previous inequality gives \begin{align*} \left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}\frac{x_j}{\|x_j\|}\right\|\leq \min_{1\leq k \leq n}\left\{\frac{1}{\big|\|x_k\|\big|} \max \left\{\left\|\sum_{j=1}^{n}x_j\right\|, \max_{1\leq j \leq n} \left|1-\frac{\|x_k\|}{\|x_j\|}\right|\|x_j\|\right\}\right\}. \end{align*} \end{proof} \section{Conclusions} \begin{enumerate} \item In 1958, Massera and Schaffer derived a surprising upper bound for the Clarkson angle between two nonzero elements in a normed linear space \cite{MASSERASCHAFFER}. \item In 2006, Maligranda improved Massera-Schaffer inequality \cite{MALIGRANDA}. \item In 2007, Pecaric and Rajic extended Maligranda inequality for finitely many nonzero elements \cite{PECARICRAJIC}. \item In this article, we introduced the notion of non-Archimedean Clarkson angle and derived non-Archimedean version of Massera-Schaffer-Maligranda-Pecaric-Rajic inequality. \end{enumerate} \bibliographystyle{plain} \begin{thebibliography}{1} \bibitem{CLARKSON} James~A.
