The existence of extremal functions for the Sobolev trace inequalities is studied using the concentration compactness theorem. The conjectured extremal, the function of conformal factor, is considered and is proved to be an actual extremal…

For each $p>1$ and each positive integer $m$ we use divided differences to give intrinsic characterizations of the restriction of the Sobolev space $W^m_p(R)$ to an arbitrary closed subset of the real line.

Necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a fractional Orlicz-Sobolev space on $\rn$ to be continuously embedded into a space of uniformly continuous functions. The optimal modulus of continuity is exhibited whenever these…

We obtain a compact Sobolev embedding for $H$-invariant functions in compact metric-measure spaces, where $H$ is a subgroup of the measure preserving bijections. In Riemannian manifolds, $H$ is a subgroup of the volume preserving…

This paper is devoted to the study of a generalization of Sobolev spaces for small $L^{p}$ exponents, i.e. $0<p<1$. We consider spaces defined as abstract completions of certain classes of smooth functions with respect to weighted…

We study the Sobolev trace constant for functions defined in a bounded domain $\O$ that vanish in the subset $A.$ We find a formula for the first variation of the Sobolev trace with respect to hole. As a consequence of this formula, we…

We give sufficient and necessary geometric conditions, guaranteeing that an immersed compact closed manifold $\Sigma^m\subset \R^n$ of class $C^1$ and of arbitrary dimension and codimension (or, more generally, an Ahlfors-regular compact…

We investigate the operator-theoretic property of strict singularity for optimal Sobolev embeddings within the general framework of rearrangement-invariant function spaces (r.i. spaces). More specifically, we focus on studying the…

We consider the Sobolev type spaces $H^\sigma(K)$ with $\sigma\geq 0$, where $K$ is a post-critically finite self-similar set with the natural boundary. Firstly, we compare different classes of Sobolev spaces $H^\sigma_N(K),H^\sigma_D(K)$…

We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of non-local, non-convex functionals in $L^p(I)$ for $p \ge 1$, where $I$ is an open interval. We show that the limit is a multiple of the $W^{1, p}(I)$ semi-norm to the power $p$ when $p>1$…

We compute the precise value of the measure of noncompactness of Sobolev embeddings $W_0^{1,p}(D)\hookrightarrow L^p(D)$, $p\in(1,\infty)$, on strip-like domains $D$ of the form $\mathbb{R}^k\times\prod\limits_{i=1}^{n-k}(a_i,b_i)$. We show…

We consider the family of non-local and non-convex functionals proposed and investigated by J. Bourgain, H. Brezis and H.-M. Nguyen in a series of papers of the last decade. It was known that this family of functionals Gamma-converges to a…

In this paper, we investigate the minimization problem : $$ \inf_{ \displaystyle{\begin{array}{lll} u \in H_0^1(\Omega), v \in H_0^1(\Omega),\\ \quad \| u \|_{L^{q}} =1, \quad \| v \|_{L^{q}} = 1 \end{array}}} \left[ \frac{1}{2}…

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…

For each $m\ge 1$ and $p>2$ we characterize bounded simply connected Sobolev $L^m_p$-extension domains $\Omega\subset R^2$. Our criterion is expressed in terms of certain intrinsic subhyperbolic metrics in $\Omega$. Its proof is based on a…

We prove some refinements of concentration compactness principle for Sobolev space $W^{1,n}$ on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$. As an application, we extend Aubin's theorem for functions on $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ with zero…

Given a hypergraph $\Gamma=(\Omega,\mathcal{X})$ and a sequence $\mathbf{p} = (p_\omega)_{\omega\in \Omega}$ of values in $(0,1)$, let $\Omega_{\mathbf{p}}$ be the random subset of $\Omega$ obtained by keeping every vertex $\omega$…

We concerns here with the continuity on the geometry of the second Riemannian L^p-Sobolev best constant B_0(p,g) associated to the AB program. Precisely, for 1 <= p <= 2, we prove that B_0(p,g) depends continuously on g in the C^2-topology.…

In this paper, we investigate the Sobolev spaces W^{1,p}(V) and W_0^{1,p}(V) on a locally finite graph G=(V,E), which are fundamental tools when we apply the variational methods to partial differential equations on graphs. As a key…

We study the sharp constant in the Hardy inequality for fractional Sobolev spaces defined on open subsets of the Euclidean space. We first list some properties of such a constant, as well as of the associated variational problem. We then…
