Sobolev improvements on sharp Rellich inequalities

Analysis of PDEs 2024-03-01 v2

Abstract

There are two Rellich inequalities for the bilaplacian, that is for (Δu)2dx\int (\Delta u)^2dx, the one involving u|\nabla u| and the other involving u|u| at the RHS. In this article we consider these inequalities with sharp constants and obtain sharp Sobolev-type improvements. More precisely, in our first result we improve the Rellich inequality with u|\nabla u| obtained recently by Cazacu in dimensions n=3,4n=3,4 by a sharp Sobolev term thus complementing existing results for the case n5n\geq 5. In the second theorem the sharp constant of the Sobolev improvement for the Rellich inequality with u|u| is obtained.
