We discuss our work on pointwise inequalities for the gradient which are connected with the isoperimetric profile associated to a given geometry. We show how they can be used to unify certain aspects of the theory of Sobolev inequalities.…
An embedding theorem for Sobolev spaces built upon general Musielak-Orlicz norms is offered. These norms are defined in terms of generalized Young functions which also depend on the $x$ variable. Under minimal conditions on the latter…
Second order parabolic equations in Sobolev spaces with mixed norms are studied. The leading coefficients (except $a^{11}$) are measurable in both time and one spatial variable, and VMO in the other spatial variables. The coefficient…
In this paper we establish several Hardy and Hardy-Sobolev type inequalities with homogeneous weights on the first orthant $\displaystyle \mathbb{R}_{*}^n:=\{(x_1, \ldots, x_n):x_1>0, \ldots, x_n>0 \}$. We then use some of them to produce…
We find a new sharp trace Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequality on convex cones, aswell as a weighted sharp trace Sobolev inequality on epigraphs of convex functions. This is done by using a generalized Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequality,…
We prove a sharp quantitative version of the $p$-Sobolev inequality for any $1<p<n$, with a control on the strongest possible distance from the class of optimal functions. Surprisingly, the sharp exponent is constant for $p<2$, while it…
We compute the optimal constant for a generalized Hardy-Sobolev inequality, and using the product of two symmetrizations we present an elementary proof of the symmetries of some optimal functions. This inequality was motivated by a…
On a convex bounded open set, we prove that Poincar\'e-Sobolev constants for functions vanishing at the boundary can be bounded from below in terms of the norm of the distance function in a suitable Lebesgue space. This generalizes a result…
We consider mixed Steklov-Dirichlet eigenvalue problem on smooth bounded domains in Riemannian manifolds. Under certain symmetry assumptions on multiconnected domains in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with a spherical hole, we obtain isoperimetric…
A form of Sobolev inequalities for the symmetric gradient of vector-valued functions is proposed, which allows for arbitrary ground domains in $\mathbb R ^n$. In the relevant inequalities, boundary regularity of domains is replaced with…
We consider the Dirichlet problem for a class of elliptic and parabolic equations in the upper-half space $\mathbb{R}^d_+$, where the coefficients are the product of $x_d^\alpha, \alpha \in (-\infty, 1),$ and a bounded uniformly elliptic…
We derive sharp Sobolev inequalities for Sobolev spaces on metric spaces. In particular, we obtain new sharp Sobolev embeddings and Faber-Krahn estimates for H\"{o}rmander vector fields.
The paper is concerned with a sequence of constants which appear in several problems. These problems include the minimal eigenvalue of certain positive definite Toeplitz matrices, the minimal eigenvalue of some higher-order ordinary…
We prove that in the context of general Markov semigroups Beckner inequalities with constants separated from zero as $p\to 1^+$ are equivalent to the modified log Sobolev inequality (previously only one implication was known to hold in this…
In this paper, we are concerned with the stability problem for endpoint conformally invariant cases of the Sobolev inequality on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$. Namely, we will establish the stability for Beckner's log-Sobolev inequality and…
We investigate the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for linear parabolic equations in divergence form. Under mild assumptions on the source term and the domain, we prove the existence of globally H\"{o}lder continuous solutions. Notably, our…
We consider the imbedding inequality || f ||_{L^r(R^d)} <= S_{r,n,d} || f ||_{H^{n}(R^d)}; H^{n}(R^d) is the Sobolev space (or Bessel potential space) of L^2 type and (integer or fractional) order n. We write down upper bounds for the…
We find extremely general classes of nonsmooth open sets which guarantee Mosco convergence for corresponding Sobolev spaces and the validity of Sobolev inequalities with a uniform constant. An important feature of our results is that the…
We consider Hardy inequalities in $I R^n$, $n \geq 3$, with best constant that involve either distance to the boundary or distance to a surface of co-dimension $k<n$, and we show that they can still be improved by adding a multiple of a…
Payne-P\'olya-Weinberger inequalities are known to be exclusive to bounded Euclidean domains with Dirichlet boundary condition. In this paper, we discuss the corresponding inequalities on Riemannian manifolds of dimension $n \geq3$, and we…
