Motivated by a long-standing conjecture of Polya and Szeg\"o about the Newtonian capacity of convex bodies, we discuss the role of concavity inequalities in shape optimization, and we provide several counterexamples to the…

The well-known von Bahr--Esseen bound on the absolute $p$th moments of martingales with $p\in(1,2]$ is extended to a large class of moment functions, and now with a best possible constant factor (which depends on the moment function). This…

Given a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$, we study the following anisotropic elliptic problem $$ \begin{cases} -\nabla\big(a(x)\nabla \upsilon\big)= a(x)\big[e^{\upsilon}-s\phi_1-4\pi\alpha\delta_q-h(x)\big]\,\,\,\,…

We consider the optimization problem corresponding to the sharp constant in a conformally invariant Sobolev inequality on the $n$-sphere involving an operator of order $2s> n$. In this case the Sobolev exponent is negative. Our results…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in R n with a Sobolev extension property around the complement of a closed part D of its boundary. We prove that a function u $\in$ W 1,p ($\Omega$) vanishes on D in the sense of an interior trace if and…

We prove a sharp upper bound on convex domains, in terms of the diameter alone, of the best constant in a class of weighted Poincar\'e inequalities. The key point is the study of an optimal weighted Wirtinger inequality.

Given $n \geq 2$ and $1<p<n$, we consider the critical $p$-Laplacian equation $\Delta_p u + u^{p^*-1}=0$, which corresponds to critical points of the Sobolev inequality. Exploiting the moving planes method, it has been recently shown that…

In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing a difference-of-convex objective over a nonlinear conic constraint, where the cone is closed, convex, pointed and has a nonempty interior. We assume that the support function of a compact…

If $\Omega\subset\R^n$ is a bounded domain, the existence of solutions ${\bf u}\in H^1_0(\Omega)^n$ of ${div} {\bf u} = f$ for $f\in L^2(\Omega)$ with vanishing mean value, is a basic result in the analysis of the Stokes equations. In…

We compute the optimal constant for a generalized Hardy-Sobolev inequality, and using the product of two symmetrizations we present an elementary proof of the symmetries of some optimal functions. This inequality was motivated by a…

It has been well known that if $\Omega$ is a bounded $C^1$-domain in $\R^n,\ n \ge 2$, then for every Radon measure $f$ on $\Omega$ with finite total variation, there exists a unique weak solution $u\in W_0^{1,1}(\Omega )$ of the Poisson…

The purpose of this paper is twofold. We first prove a weighted Sobolev inequality and part of a weighted Morrey's inequality, where the weights are a power of the mean curvature of the level sets of the function appearing in the…

In this work we improve the sharp Hardy inequality in the case $p>n$ by adding an optimal weighted Hoelder semi-norm. To achieve this we first obtain a local improvement. We also obtain a refinement of both the Sobolev inequality for $p>n$…

We study $L_q$-approximation and integration for functions from the Sobolev space $W^s_p(\Omega)$ and compare optimal randomized (Monte Carlo) algorithms with algorithms that can only use iid sample points, uniformly distributed on the…

Classical boundary Hardy inequality, that goes back to 1988, states that if $1 < p < \infty, \ ~\Omega$ is bounded Lipschitz domain, then for all $u \in C^{\infty}_{c}(\Omega)$, $$\int_{\Omega} \frac{|u(x)|^{p}}{\delta^{p}_{\Omega}(x)} dx…

We construct homotopy formulas for the $\overline\partial$-equation on convex domains of finite type that have optimal Sobolev and H\"older estimates. For a bounded smooth finite type convex domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb C^n$ that has…

We consider the functional $$I_\Omega(v) = \int_\Omega [f(|Dv|) - v] dx,$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain and $f$ is a convex function. Under general assumptions on $f$, G. Crasta [Cr1] has shown that if $I_\Omega$ admits a minimizer in…

On a convex bounded open set, we prove that Poincar\'e-Sobolev constants for functions vanishing at the boundary can be bounded from below in terms of the norm of the distance function in a suitable Lebesgue space. This generalizes a result…

We study the optimal constant in a Sobolev inequality for BV functions with zero mean value and vanishing outside a bounded open set. We are interested in finding the best possible embedding constant in terms of the measure of the domain…
