Abstract

We consider the generalized Wirtinger inequality (0Tauq)1/qC(0Ta1pup)1/p, (\int_{0}^{T} a |u|^q )^{1/q} \le C \biggm(\int_{0}^{T} a^{1-p} |u'|^{p}\biggm)^{1/p}, with p,q>1p,q>1, T>0T>0, aL1[0,T]a\in L^1[0,T], a0a\ge0, a≢0a\not\equiv0 and where uu is a TT-periodic function satisfying the constraint 0Tauq2u=0. \int_{0}^{T} a |u|^{q-2}u =0. We provide the best constant C>0C>0 as well as all extremals. Furthermore, we characterize the natural functional space where the inequality is defined.
