A New, Rearrangement-free Proof of the Sharp Hardy-littlewood-sobolev Inequality
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the sharp constant in the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality can be derived using the method that we employed earlier for a similar inequality on the Heisenberg group. The merit of this proof is that it does not rely on rearrangement inequalities; it is the first one to do so for the whole parameter range.

Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities via fast diffusion flows.
We give a simple proof of the λ = d - 2 cases of the sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for d≥3, and the sharp Logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for d = 2 via a monotone flow governed by the fast diffusion equation.

We give a new proof of certain cases of the sharp HLS inequality. Instead of symmetric decreasing rearrangement it uses the reflection positivity of inversions in spheres. In doing this we extend a characterization of the minimizing functions due to Li and Zhu.

The well-known functions on R , f(x) = c(b + |x − a|2)−p, where a ∈ R , b > 0 and c > 0, appear as the optimizers in some classical functional inequalities, notably the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev (HLS) inequality and its dual, the Sobolev inequality. Given their ubiquity, these functions must be endowed with some special property, and this was identified by Y. Y. Li and M. J. Zhu [21]. It is the ...
متن کاملSharp Hardy-littlewood-sobolev Inequality on the Upper Half Space
There are at least two directions concerning the extension of classical sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality: (1) Extending the sharp inequality on general manifolds; (2) Extending it for the negative exponent λ = n−α (that is for the case of α > n). In this paper we confirm the possibility for the extension along the first direction by establishing the sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequ...
متن کاملSharp constants in several inequalities on the Heisenberg group
We derive the sharp constants for the inequalities on the Heisenberg group H whose analogues on Euclidean space R are the well known Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities. Only one special case had been known previously, due to Jerison-Lee more than twenty years ago. From these inequalities we obtain the sharp constants for their duals, which are the Sobolev inequalities for the Laplacian and c...
