Abstract

Let Ω\Omega be a bounded domain of RN,\mathbf{R}^{N}, N2.N\geq2. Let, for p>N,p>N, Λp(Ω):=inf{upp:uW01,p(Ω)andu=1}. \Lambda_{p}(\Omega):=\inf\left\{ \left\Vert \nabla u\right\Vert _{p}^{p}:u\in W_{0}^{1,p}(\Omega)\quad and\quad\left\Vert u\right\Vert _{\infty}=1\right\} . We first prove that limpΛp(Ω)1p=1ρ, \lim_{p\rightarrow\infty}\Lambda_{p}(\Omega)^{\frac{1}{p}}=\frac{1}{\left\Vert \rho\right\Vert _{\infty}}, where ρ\rho denotes the distance function to the boundary. Then, we show that, up to subsequences, the extremal functions of Λp(Ω)\Lambda_{p}(\Omega) converge (as pp\rightarrow\infty) to the viscosity solutions of a specific Dirichlet problem involving the infinity Laplacian in the punctured Ω.\Omega.
