Sobolev-Kantorovich Inequalities

Sobolev Trace Inequalities

The existence of extremal functions for the Sobolev trace inequalities is studied using the concentration compactness theorem. The conjectured extremal, the function of conformal factor, is considered and is proved to be an actual extremal function with extra symmetry condition on functions. One of the limiting cases of the Sobolev trace inequalities is investigated and the best constant for th...

Critical Hardy–Sobolev Inequalities

Abstract We consider Hardy inequalities in IRn, n ≥ 3, with best constant that involve either distance to the boundary or distance to a surface of co-dimension k < n, and we show that they can still be improved by adding a multiple of a whole range of critical norms that at the extreme case become precisely the critical Sobolev norm. Résumé Nous étudions des inegalités de Hardy dans IRn, n ≥ 3,...

On Several Matrix Kantorovich-Type Inequalities

Refined Convex Sobolev Inequalities

This paper is devoted to refinements of convex Sobolev inequalities in the case of power law relative entropies: a nonlinear entropy–entropy production relation improves the known inequalities of this type. The corresponding generalized Poincaré type inequalities with weights are derived. Optimal constants are compared to the usual Poincaré constant.

Improved Hardy-sobolev Inequalities

Abstract. The main result includes features of a Hardy-type inequality and an inequality of either Sobolev or Gagliardo-Nirenberg type. It is inspired by the method of proof of a recent improved Sobolev inequality derived by M. Ledoux which brings out the connection between Sobolev embeddings and heat kernel bounds. Here Ledoux’s technique is applied to the operator L := x · ∇ and the analysis ...
