Abstract

In this work, we prove a critical version of a Hardy-Rellich type inequality. We show that for N1N\geq 1 there exists a constant CN>0C_N>0 such that RN(u(x)x)NdxCNRNΔu(x)Ndx, \int_{\mathbb R^N}\left|\nabla\left(\frac{u(x)}{|x|}\right)\right|^N\,\mathrm{d}x\leq C_N\int_{\mathbb R^N}\left|\Delta u(x)\right|^N\,\mathrm{d}x, for any uCc(RN{0})u\in C^\infty_c(\mathbb R^N\setminus\left\{0\right\}).
