We show that the classical Hardy inequalities with optimal constants in the Sobolev spaces W 1,p 0 and in higher-order Sobolev spaces on a bounded domain Ω ⊂ R can be refined by adding remainder terms which involve L norms. In the higher-order case further L norms with lower-order singular weights arise. The case 1 < p < 2 being more involved requires a different technique and is developed only...

In this paper, we show a parabolic version of the Ogawa type inequality in Sobolev spaces. Our inequality provides an estimate of the L∞ norm of a function in terms of its parabolic BMO norm, with the aid of the square root of the logarithmic dependency of a higher order Sobolev norm. The proof is mainly based on the Littlewood-Paley decomposition and a characterization of parabolic BMO spaces....

This paper is concerned with approximation properties of orthonormal mapped Chebyshev functions (OMCFs) in unbounded domains. Unlike the usual mapped Chebyshev functions which are associated with weighted Sobolev spaces, the OMCFs are associated with the usual (non-weighted) Sobolev spaces. This leads to particularly simple stiffness and mass matrices for higher-dimensional problems. The approx...

In this note we will show that the so called Sobolev dual is the minimizer over all linear reconstructions using dual frames for stable r order Σ∆ quantization schemes under the so called White Noise Hypothesis (WNH) design criteria. We compute some Sobolev duals for common frames and apply them to audio clips to test their performance against canonical duals and another alternate dual correspo...
