Abstract

Let B\mathbb{B} be the unit ball in R2\mathbb{R}^2, W01,2(B)W_0^{1,2} \left( \mathbb{B} \right) is a standard Sobolev space. Suppose a function hϵ(x)h_{\epsilon}(x) is radially symmetric, nonnegative, continuous on B\overline{\mathbb{B}} and satifies limx0hϵ(x)x2ϵ=1\underset{x \rightarrow 0}{\lim} h_{\epsilon}(x) |x|^{- 2 \epsilon} =1 , with hϵ(x)>0h_{\epsilon} (x) >0 on B{0}\overline{\mathbb{B}} \setminus \{0\}. In \citep{26}, Zhang proved that the supremum in the following inequality can be attained by some function uϵu_{\epsilon}, i.e. , \begin{align} \int_{ \mathbb{B} } h_{\epsilon} (x) e^{ 4 \pi \left(1 + \epsilon \right) {u_{\epsilon}}^2 } dx = \underset{u \in W_0^{1,2} \left( \mathbb{B} \right) \cap \mathcal{S} \setminus \{0\} , ~ \int_{ \mathbb{B} } |\nabla u|^2 dx \leq 1}{\sup} \int_{\mathbb{B}} h_{\epsilon} (x) e^{4 \pi (1 + \epsilon) u^2 } dx, \label{eq: 0.1} \end{align} where 4π4 \pi is the best constant in the classical Moser-Trudinger inequality, and S\mathcal{S} is the set of radially symmetric functions. In this paper, we consider the compactness of the sequence {uϵ}ϵ\{ u_{\epsilon} \}_{\epsilon} and prove that the limit of this sequence is a function u0C1(B)u_0 \in C^1 (\overline{ \mathbb{B}} ). Moreover, the u0u_0 is an extremal function of the supremum \begin{align*} \underset{u \in W_0^{1,2} \left( \mathbb{B} \right) \cap \mathcal{S} \setminus \{0\} , ~ \int_{ \mathbb{B} } |\nabla u|^2 dx \leq 1}{\sup} \int_{\mathbb{B}} e^{4 \pi u^2 } dx. \end{align*}
