Abstract

Let ΩR4\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^4 be a smooth bounded domain, W02,2(Ω)W_0^{2,2}(\Omega) be the usual Sobolev space. For any positive integer \ell, λ(Ω)\lambda_{\ell}(\Omega) is the \ell-th eigenvalue of the bi-Laplacian operator. Define E=Eλ1(Ω)Eλ2(Ω)Eλ(Ω)E_{\ell}=E_{\lambda_1(\Omega)}\oplus E_{\lambda_2(\Omega)}\oplus\cdots\oplus E_{\lambda_{\ell}(\Omega)}, where Eλi(Ω)E_{\lambda_i(\Omega)} is eigenfunction space associated with λi(Ω)\lambda_i(\Omega). EE^{\bot}_{\ell} denotes the orthogonal complement of EE_\ell in W02,2(Ω)W_0^{2,2}(\Omega). For 0α<λ+1(Ω)0\leq\alpha<\lambda_{\ell+1}(\Omega), we define a norm by u2,α2=Δu22αu22\|u\|_{2,\alpha}^{2}=\|\Delta u\|^2_2-\alpha \|u\|^2_2 for uEu\in E^\bot_{\ell}. In this paper, using the blow-up analysis, we prove the following Adams inequalities supuE,u2,α1Ωe32π2u2dx<+;\sup_{u\in E_{\ell}^{\bot},\,\| u\|_{2,\alpha}\leq 1}\int_{\Omega}e^{32\pi^2u^2}dx<+\infty; moreover, the above supremum can be attained by a function u0EC4(Ω)u_0\in E_{\ell}^{\bot}\cap C^4(\overline{\Omega}) with u02,α=1\|u_0\|_{2,\alpha}=1. This result extends that of Yang (J. Differential Equations, 2015), and complements that of Lu and Yang (Adv. Math. 2009) and Nguyen (arXiv: 1701.08249, 2017).
