We show several variants of concentration inequalities on the sphere stated as subgaussian estimates with optimal constants. For a Lipschitz function, we give one-sided and two-sided bounds for deviation from the median as well as from the…

In this paper we present a new proof of the sufficiency theorem for strong local minimizers concerning $C^1$-extremals at which the second variation is strictly positive. The results are presented in the quasiconvex setting, in accordance…

The existence of an extremal in an exponential Sobolev type inequality, with optimal constant, in Gauss space is established. A key step in the proof is an augmented version of the relevant inequality, which, by contrast, fails for a…

This paper is mainly concerned with the existence of extremals for the Adams inequality. We first establish an upper bound for the classical Adams functional along of all concentrated sequences in $W^{m,\frac{n}{m}}_{\mathcal{N}}(\Omega)$,…

We establish fine bounds for best constants of the fractional subcritical Sobolev embeddings \begin{align*} W_{0}^{s,p}\left(\Omega\right)\hookrightarrow L^{q}\left(\Omega\right), \end{align*} where $N\geq1$, $0<s<1$, $p=1,2$, $1\leq…

Let $\mathsf M_{\mathsf S}$ denote the strong maximal operator on $\mathbb R^n$ and let $w$ be a non-negative, locally integrable function. For $\alpha\in(0,1)$ we define the weighted sharp Tauberian constant $\mathsf C_{\mathsf S}$…

Following the ideas of Andrei Lerner in [ A pointwise estimate for the local sharp maximal function with applications to singular integrals" Bull. London Math. Soc. 42 (2010) 843856], we obtain another decomposition of an arbitrary…

In this paper, we prove global gradient estimates for solutions to linear elliptic and parabolic equations. For a sufficiently smooth bounded convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, we show that a solution $\phi \in…

The necessity to find the global optimum of multiextremal functions arises in many applied problems where finding local solutions is insufficient. One of the desirable properties of global optimization methods is \emph{strong homogeneity}…

We study the symmetry/asymmetry of functions providing sharp constants in the embedding theorems ${\stackrel{\circ}{W}}\vphantom{W}_2^r(-1,1)\hookrightarrow{\stackrel{\circ}{W}}\vphantom{W}_\infty^k(-1,1)$ for various $r$ and $k$. The sharp…

Let $\mathscr{H}^2$ denote the Hardy space of Dirichlet series $f(s) = \sum_{n\geq1} a_n n^{-s}$ with square summable coefficients and suppose that $\varphi$ is a symbol generating a composition operator on $\mathscr{H}^2$ by…

In this paper, we study the form of the constant $C$ in the Bernstein--Nikolskii inequalities $\|f^{(s)}\|_q \lesssim C(s, p, q)\left\|f\right\|_p,\,0<p<q \leq\infty$, for trigonometric polynomials and entire functions of exponential type.…

We establish new, optimal gradient continuity estimates for solutions to a class of 2nd order partial differential equations, $\mathscr{L}(X, \nabla u, D^2 u) = f$, whose diffusion properties (ellipticity) degenerate along the \textit{a…

Though much work has been done with respect to the existence of extremals of the critical first order Trudinger-Moser inequalities in $W^{1,n}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and higher order Adams inequalities on finite domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$,…

We carry out a comprehensive study of quantitative homogenization of second-order elliptic systems with bounded measurable coefficients that are almost-periodic in the sense of H. Weyl. We obtain uniform local $L^2$ estimates for the…

We prove existence of minimizers for the sharp Poincar\'e-Sobolev constant in general Steiner symmetric sets, in the subcritical and superhomogeneous regime. The sets considered are not necessarily bounded, thus the relevant embeddings may…

In this article we obtain improved versions of Stein-Weiss and Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities, involving Besov norms of negative smoothness. As an application of the former, we derive the existence of extremals of the Stein-Weiss…

We prove that extremals for second order Rellich-Sobolev inequalities have constant sign. Then we show that the optimal constants in Rellich-Sobolev inequalities on a bounded domain {\Omega} and under Navier boundary conditions do not…
