We prove sharp inequalities of Hardy type for functions in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. We achieve this in both the subcritical and critical cases. The method we use to show…

We introduce a non-linear criterion which allows us to determine when a function can be written as a sum of functions belonging to homogeneous fractional spaces: for $\ell \in \mathbb{N}^*$, $s_i\in (0, 1)$ and $p_i \in [1, +\infty)$, $u :…

We give sufficient geometric conditions, not involving capacities, for a compact null set to be removable for the Sobolev functions on weighted $\mathbb R^n$, defined as the closure of smooth functions in the weighted Sobolev norm. Our…

We study comprehensively local properties of functions in complex Sobolev spaces on a bounded open subset of $\mathbb{C}^n$. The main tool is the corresponding functional capacity for the space which is inspired by the global one due to…

We characterize all the real numbers a,b,c and 1<= p,q,r<infty such that the weighted Sobolev space W_{a,b}^(q,p)(R^N\{0}) with power weights |x|^a and |x|^b is continuously embedded into L^{r}(R^N;|x|^cdx). Furthermore, we show that this…

We present an elementary proof of a well-known theorem of Cheeger which states that if a metric-measure space $X$ supports a $p$-Poincar\'e inequality, then the $N^{1,p}(X)$ Sobolev space is reflexive and separable whenever $p\in…

A new weighted Hardy-type inequality for functions from the Sobolev space $W_{p}^{1}$ is proved. It is assumed that functions vanish on small alternating pieces of the boundary. The proved inequality generalizes the classical known weighted…

We show that the algebra of cylinder functions in the Wasserstein Sobolev space $H^{1,q}(\mathcal{P}_p(X,\mathsf{d}), W_{p, \mathsf{d}}, \mathfrak{m})$ generated by a finite and positive Borel measure $\mathfrak{m}$ on the…

We work in a class of Sobolev $W^{1,p}$ maps, with $p > d-1$, from a bounded open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ to $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ that do not exhibit cavitation and whose trace on $\partial \Omega$ is also $W^{1,p}$. Under the…

In this note, we give the affirmative answer of the question in [18], which is a compactness result of the non-radial Sobolev spaces. As an application, we show the existence of an extremal function of the critical Hardy inequality under…

We describe some sufficient conditions, under which smooth and compactly supported functions are or are not dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(\Omega)$ for an open, bounded set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$. The density property…

We establish Sobolev-Poincar\'e inequalities for piecewise $W^{1,p}$ functions over families of fairly general polytopic (thence also shape-regular simplicial and Cartesian) meshes in any dimension; amongst others, they cover the case of…

On a general open set of the euclidean space, we study the relation between the embedding of the homogeneous Sobolev space $\mathcal{D}^{1,p}_0$ into $L^q$ and the summability properties of the distance function. We prove that in the…

We present in this paper a new way to define weighted Sobolev spaces when the weight functions are arbitrary small. This new approach can replace the old one consisting in modifying the domain by removing the set of points where at least…

Fix strictly increasing right continuous functions with left limits $W_i:\bb R \to \bb R$, $i=1,...,d$, and let $W(x) = \sum_{i=1}^d W_i(x_i)$ for $x\in\bb R^d$. We construct the $W$-Sobolev spaces, which consist of functions $f$ having…

We study some non-local functionals on the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)$ involving a double integral on $\Omega\times\Omega$ with respect to a measure $\mu$. We introduce a suitable notion of convergence of measures on product spaces…
