Abstract

For N3N \geq 3 and p(1,N)p \in (1,N), we look for gLloc1(RN)g \in L^1_{loc}(\mathbb{R}^N) that satisfies the following weighted logarithmic Sobolev inequality: \begin{equation*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} g |u|^p \log |u|^p \ dx \leq \gamma \log \left( C_{\gamma} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} |\nabla u|^p \ dx \right) \,, \end{equation*} for all uD01,p(RN)u \in \mathcal{D}^{1,p}_0(\mathbb{R}^N) with RNgup=1\int_{\mathbb{R}^N} g|u|^p=1, for some γ,Cγ>0\gamma,C_{\gamma}>0. For each r(p,NpNp]r \in(p,\frac{Np}{N-p}], we identify a Banach function space Hp,r(RN)\mathcal{H}_{p,r}(\mathbb{R}^N) such that the above inequality holds for gHp,r(RN)g \in \mathcal{H}_{p,r}(\mathbb{R}^N). For γ>rrp\gamma > \frac{r}{r-p}, we also find a class of gg for which the best constant CγC_{\gamma} in the above inequality is attained in D01,p(RN)\mathcal{D}^{1,p}_0(\mathbb{R}^N). Further, for a closed set EE with Assouad dimension =d<N=d<N and a((Nd)(p1)p,(Np)(Nd)Np),a \in (-\frac{(N-d)(p-1)}{p},\frac{(N-p)(N-d)}{Np}), we establish the following logarithmic Hardy inequality \begin{equation*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} \frac{|u|^p}{|\delta_E|^{p(a+1)}} \log \left(\delta_E^{N-p-pa} |u|^p\right) \ dx \leq \frac{N}{p} \log \left(\text{C} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} \frac{|\nabla u|^p}{|\delta_E^{pa}|} \ dx \right) \,, \end{equation*} for all uCc(RN)u \in C_c^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^N) with RNupδEp(a+1)=1,\displaystyle \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} \frac{|u|^p}{|\delta_E|^{p(a+1)}} =1, for some C>0\text{C}>0, where δE(x)\delta_E(x) is the distance between xx and EE. The second order extension of the logarithmic Hardy inequality is also obtained.
