Abstract

We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a pair of positive radial functions VV and WW on a ball BB of radius RR in RnR^{n}, n1n \geq 1, so that the following inequalities hold \begin{equation*} \label{two} \hbox{BV(x)u2dxBW(x)u2dx+bBu2ds\int_{B}V(x)|\nabla u |^{2}dx \geq \int_{B} W(x) u^{2}dx+b\int_{\partial B}u^2 ds for all u H1(B)\in H^1(B),} \end{equation*} and \begin{equation*} \label{two} \hbox{BV(x)Δu2dxBW(x)u2dx+bBu2ds\int_{B}V(x)|\Delta u |^{2}dx \geq \int_{B} W(x)|\nabla u|^{2}dx+b\int_{\partial B}|\nabla u|^2 ds for all u H2(B)\in H^2(B).} \end{equation*} Then we present various classes of optimal weighted Hardy-Rellich inequalities on H2H01H^{2}\cap H^{1}_{0}. The proofs are based on decomposition into spherical harmonics. These types inequalities are important in the study of fourth order elliptic equations with Navier boundary condition and systems of second order elliptic equations.
