What exactly is the question? I see
[tex] \|\dot f(t)\|^2 \leq \int_{t-\tau}^t \|\dot f(\theta)\|^2\,\mathrm{d}\theta[/tex]
with [itex]\tau \neq 0[/itex].

The inequality does not hold for all [itex]\tau > 0[/itex] unless [itex]\|\dot f(t)\| = 0[/itex], since the right hand side can be made arbitrarily small by taking [itex]\tau > 0[/itex] sufficiently small.

The inequality does not hold for any [itex]\tau < 0[/itex] unless [itex]\|\dot f(\theta)\|[/itex] vanishes identically on [itex](t,t+|\tau|)[/itex] and [itex]\|\dot f(t)\| = 0[/itex], since otherwise the right hand side is non-positive ([itex]\int_{t+|\tau|}^t = -\int_{t}^{t + |\tau|}[/itex]) and the left hand side is non-negative.

Thanks pasmith,

Yeah, by using definition of Riemann integration rule I already proved that the inequality is wrong. I tried to find a domain in which the inequality holds; however, there is no such domain.

How about we multiply only left-hand side with τ (tau)? Will this inequality be hold in some domain? What do you think?
