Abstract

In this paper, we prove generalizations to the L^p setting of the Hardy-Rellich inequalities on domains of R^N with singularity given by the distance function to the boundary. The inequalities we obtain are either sharp in bounded domains, where we provide concrete minimizing sequences, or give a new bound for the sharp constant, while also depending on the geometric properties of the domain and its boundary. We also give applications to the existence and non-existence of solutions for a singular problem using variational methods and a Pohozaev identity.
