Inspired by a recent sharp Sobolev trace inequality of order four on the balls $\mathbb B^{n+1}$ found by Ache and Chang [AC15], we propose a slightly different approach to reprove Ache-Chang's trace inequality. To illustrate this approach,…
We study extremal functions for a family of Poincar\'e-Sobolev-type inequalities. These functions minimize, for subcritical or critical $p\geq 2$, the quotient ${\|\nabla u\|_2}/{\|u\|_p}$ among all $u \in H^1(B)\setminus\{0\}$ with…
Each homeomorphic parametrization of a Jordan curve via the unit circle extends to a homeomorphism of the entire plane. It is a natural question to ask if such a homeomorphism can be chosen so as to have some Sobolev regularity. This…
On a convex set, we prove that the Poincar\'e-Sobolev constant for functions vanishing at the boundary can be bounded from above by the ratio between the perimeter and a suitable power of the $N-$dimensional measure. This generalizes an old…
In the paper, the basic results on boundary trace of the book "Sobolev spaces" by V. Maz'ya are generalized to a wider class of regions. In the book, boundary trace of BV-functions is defined for regions with finite perimeter and the main…
Sobolev embeddings, of arbitrary order, are considered into function spaces on domains of $\mathbb R^n$ endowed with measures whose decay on balls is dominated by a power $d$ of their radius. Norms in arbitrary rearrangement-invariant…
We investigate the geometric behavior of $\tau(E)$ for bounded finite-perimeter sets $E \subset \mathbb R^n$, where $\tau(E)$ is the trace constant introduced by Figalli--Maggi--Pratelli [Invent. Math. 2010]. This quantity is a key…
This work deals with theoretical and numerical aspects related to the behavior of the Steklov-Lam\'e eigenvalues on variable domains. After establishing the eigenstructure for the disk, we prove that for a certain class of Lam\'e…
We investigate distortion estimates for mappings at boundary points of a domain. We consider mappings of the Sobolev and Orlicz-Sobolev classes and some other classes of mappings that do not preserve the boundary of a domain. For above…
In this article, we prove the best Bianchi-Egnell constant for the Hardy-Sobolev (HS) inequality \begin{align*} C_{\tiny\mbox{{BE}}}(\gamma) := \inf_{{u \ \small \mbox{not an optimizer}}} \frac{\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \left(|\nabla u|^2 -…
The $k$-Hessian operator $\sigma_k$ is the $k$-th elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the Hessian. It is known that the $k$-Hessian equation $\sigma_k(D^2u)=f$ with Dirichlet boundary condition $u=0$ is variational; indeed,…
In a previous paper we developed a new method to obtain symmetrization inequalities of Sobolev type for functions in $W_{0}^{1,1}(\Omega)$. In this paper we extend our method to Sobolev functions that do not vanish at the boundary.
Given $p \in (1,\infty)$, let $(\operatorname{X},\operatorname{d},\mu)$ be a metric measure space with uniformly locally doubling measure $\mu$ supporting a weak local $(1,p)$-Poincar\'e inequality. For each $\theta \in [0,p)$, we…
In this paper, we examine the boundary $L^2$ term of the sharp Sobolev trace inequality $\|u\|_{L^{q}(\pa M)}^2\leq S \|\nabla_g u\|_{L^2(M)}^2 +A(M,g)\|u\|^2_{L^2(\pa M)}$ on Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ with boundaries $\pa M$, where…
In their celebrated work [5], Chang and Marshall established a critical trace inequality of Moser-Trudinger type for holomorphic functions with mean value zero on unit disc in the complex plane. The main purpose is to address a question…
We study the regularity of solutions of elliptic second order boundary value problems on a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb R^3$. The coefficients are not necessarily continuous and the boundary conditions may be mixed, i.e. Dirichlet on…
Let the set $\Omega_\varepsilon$ be obtained from the bounded domain $\Omega$ by removing a family of $\varepsilon$-periodically distributed identical balls. In $\Omega_\varepsilon$ one considers the standard Steklov spectral problem. It is…
A linear quadratic Dirichlet control problem posed on a possibly non-convex polygonal domain is analyzed. Detailed regularity results are provided in classical Sobolev (Slobodetskii) spaces. In particular, it is proved that in the presence…
We consider the Dirichlet problem on general, possibly nonsmooth bounded domain, for elliptic linear equation with uniformly elliptic divergence form operator. We investigate carefully the relationship between weak, soft and the…
