Abstract

We focus on Korn-Maxwell-Sobolev inequalities for operators of reduced constant rank. These inequalities take the form PΠBΠkerAPW˙k1,p(Rn)c(A[P]W˙k1,p(Rn)+BPLp(Rn)) \|P - \Pi_{\mathbb{B}} \Pi_{\ker\mathscr{A}} P\|_{\dot{\mathrm{W}}^{k-1, p^*}(\mathbb{R}^n)} \le c \, (\|\mathscr{A}[P]\|_{\dot{\mathrm{W}}^{k-1, p^*}(\mathbb{R}^n)} + \|\mathbb{B} P\|_{\mathrm{L}^p(\mathbb{R}^n)}) for all PCc(Rn;V) P \in \mathrm{C}_c^\infty(\mathbb{R}^n; V) , where V V is a finite-dimensional vector space, A \mathscr{A} is a linear mapping, and B \mathbb{B} is a constant coefficient homogeneous differential operator of order k k . In particular, we can treat the combination (p,A,B,k)=(1,tr,Curl,1)(p,\mathscr{A},\mathbb{B},k)=(1,\operatorname{tr},\operatorname{Curl},1). Our results generalize the techniques from Gmeineder et al. (Math.Mod.Met.Appl.Sci,34:03,2024; arXiv:2405.10349), which exclusively dealt with reduced elliptic operators. In contrast to the reduced ellipticity case, however, the reduced constant rank case necessitates to introduce a correction, namely the projection ΠB\Pi_\mathbb{B} on the left-hand side of the inequality.
