On the best possible remaining term in the Hardy Inequality

Analysis of PDEs 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

We give a necessary and sufficient condition on a radially symmetric potential VV on Ω\Omega that makes it an admissible candidate for an improved Hardy inequality of the following form: \begin{equation}\label{gen-hardy.0} \hbox{Ωu2dx(n22)2Ωu2x2dxcΩV(x)u2dx\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u |^{2}dx - (\frac{n-2}{2})^{2} \int_{\Omega}\frac{|u|^{2}}{|x|^{2}}dx\geq c\int_{\Omega} V(|x|)|u|^{2}dx \quad for all uH01(Ω)u \in H^{1}_{0}(\Omega).} \end{equation}
