Abstract

Let B\mathbb{B} be the unit disc in R2\mathbb{R}^2, H\mathscr{H} be the completion of C0(B)C_0^\infty(\mathbb{B}) under the norm uH=(Bu2dxBu2(1x2)2dx)1/2,uC0(B).\|u\|_{\mathscr{H}}=\left(\int_\mathbb{B}|\nabla u|^2dx-\int_\mathbb{B}\frac{u^2}{(1-|x|^2)^2}dx\right)^{1/2},\quad\forall u\in C_0^\infty(\mathbb{B}). Denote λ1(B)=infuH,u2=1uH2\lambda_1(\mathbb{B})=\inf_{u\in \mathscr{H},\,\|u\|_2=1}\|u\|_{\mathscr{H}}^2, where 2\|\cdot\|_2 stands for the L2(B)L^2(\mathbb{B})-norm. Using blow-up analysis, we prove that for any α\alpha, 0α<λ1(B)0\leq \alpha<\lambda_1(\mathbb{B}), supuH,uH2αu221Be4πu2dx<+,\sup_{u\in\mathscr{H},\,\|u\|_{\mathscr{H}}^2-\alpha\|u\|_2^2\leq 1}\int_\mathbb{B} e^{4\pi u^2}dx<+\infty, and that the above supremum can be attained by some function uHu\in \mathscr{H} with uH2αu22=1\|u\|_{\mathscr{H}}^2-\alpha\|u\|_2^2= 1. This improves an earlier result of G. Wang and D. Ye [28].
