It was shown by Edgar and Rosenblatt that fLp (ℝn), 1 ≤ p < 2n/ (n-1), and f ≠0, then f has linearly independent translates. Using a result of Hömander, it is shown here that the same theorem holds if p = 2n / (n−1). This gives a sharp result because for n ≥2, there exists fC0 (ℝn), f ≠0, which is simultaneously in all Lp (ℝn), p > 2n/(n−1), that has a linear dependence relation among its translates. References and some discussion are included.
