Let $u\in W^{2,p}_0$, $1\le p\le \infty$ be a solution of the Poisson equation $\Delta u = h$, $h\in L^p$, in the unit disk. It is proved that $\|\nabla u\|_{L^p} \le a_p\|h\|_{L^p}$ with sharp constant $a_p$ for $p=1$ and $p=\infty$ and…

The usual Sobolev inequality in $\mathbb{R}^N$, asserts that $\|\nabla u\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N)} \geq \mathcal{S}\|u\|_{L^{p^*}(\mathbb{R}^N)}$ for $1<p<N$ and $p^*=\frac{pN}{N-p}$, with $\mathcal{S}$ being the sharp constant. Based on a…

We prove that if $\Om \subseteq \R^2$ is bounded and $\R^2 \setminus \Om$ satisfies suitable structural assumptions (for example it has a countable number of connected components), then $W^{1,2}(\Om)$ is dense in $W^{1,p}(\Om)$ for every…

The question of triviality of solutions of the semilinear Ornstein-Uhlenbeck equation, \[ \Delta w-\frac{1}{2} \langle x,\nabla w\rangle-\frac{\lambda}{p-1}w+|w|^{p-1}w=0, \] is considered. It is shown, that if $p>1$ is Sobolev subcritical…
