Let $\Omega$ be a smooth, convex, unbounded domain of $\R^N$. Denote by $\mu_1(\Omega)$ the first nontrivial Neumann eigenvalue of the Hermite operator in $\Omega$; we prove that $\mu_1(\Omega) \ge 1$. The result is sharp since equality…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex. If $u: \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ has mean 0, then we have the classical Poincar\'{e} inequality $$ \|u \|_{L^p} \leq c_p \mbox{diam}(\Omega) \| \nabla u \|_{L^p}$$ with sharp constants…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$). Then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_{\Omega}{f dx} \leq \frac{c_n}{ |\partial \Omega| }…
In this survey, we consider the sharp Sobolev inequality in convex cones. We also prove it by using the optimal transport technique. Then we present some results related to the Euler-Lagrange equation of the Sobolev inequality: the…
We address the question of attainability of the best constant in the following Hardy-Sobolev inequality on a smooth domain $\Omega$ of \mathbb{R}^n: $$ \mu_s (\Omega) := \inf \{\int_{\Omega}| \nabla u|^2 dx; u \in {H_{1,0}^2(\Omega)}…
Let $\Omega$ be an open connected cone in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with vertex at the origin. Assume that the operator $$P_\mu:=-\Delta-\frac{\mu}{\delta_\Omega^2(x)}$$ is {\em subcritical} in $\Omega$, where $\delta_\Omega$ is the distance function…
For each open, bounded and convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{D},$ $D\geq 2$, and each real number $p>1,$ we denote by $u_{p}$ the $p$\emph{-torsion function} on $\Omega $, i.e. the solution of the \emph{torsional creep problem}…
We study the pointwise convergence and the $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of non-local, non-convex functionals $\Lambda_\delta$ in $L^p(\Omega)$ for $p>1$. We show that the limits are multiples of $\int_{\Omega} |\nabla u|^p$. This is a…
Let $\Omega$ be a smooth, bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, $\omega$ be a positive, $L^{1}$-normalized function, and $0<s<1<p.$ We study the asymptotic behavior, as $p\rightarrow\infty,$ of the pair $\left( \sqrt[p]{\Lambda_{p}%…
By using optimal mass transport theory, we provide a direct proof to the sharp $L^p$-log-Sobolev inequality $(p\geq 1)$ involving a log-concave homogeneous weight on an open convex cone $E\subseteq \mathbb R^n$. The perk of this proof is…
For a given Finsler-Minkowski norm $\mathcal{F}$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ and a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ $\big(N\geq 2\big)$, we establish the following weighted anisotropic Sobolev inequality $$ S\left(\int_{\Omega}|u|^q…
