We consider the torsion function for the Dirichlet Laplacian $-\Delta$, and for the Schr\"odinger operator $- \Delta + V$ on an open set $\Omega\subset \R^m$ of finite Lebesgue measure $0<|\Omega|<\infty$ with a real-valued, non-negative,…

The aim of this paper is to obtain new Hardy inequalities with double singular weights - at an interior point and on the boundary of the domain. These inequalities give us the possibility to derive estimates from below of the first…

We prove (i) a simple sufficient geometric condition for localisation of a sequence of first Dirichlet eigenfunctions provided the corresponding Dirichlet Laplacians satisfy a uniform Hardy inequality, and (ii) localisation of a sequence of…

Bounds are obtained for the efficiency or mean to peak ratio $E(\Omega)$ for the first Dirichlet eigenfunction (positive) for open, connected sets $\Omega$ with finite measure in Euclidean space $\R^m$. It is shown that (i) localisation…

In this paper, we deal with functionals involving the torsion and the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions (to which we refer as Robin Torsion and Robin Eigenvalue), with other geometrical quantities, in the…

In a domain of the Euclidean space, we estimate from below the distance to the boundary of global maximum points of solutions of elliptic and parabolic equations with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary values. As reference cases, we first…

We consider a nonlocal problem involving the fractional laplacian and the Hardy potential, in bounded smooth domains. Exploiting the moving plane method and some weak and strong comparison principles, we deduce symmetry and monotonicity…

We prove sharp L^2 boundary decay estimates for the eigenfunctions of certain second order elliptic operators acting in a bounded region, and of their first order space derivatives, using only the Hardy inequality. We then deduce bounds on…

We develop a geometric framework for Hardy's inequality on a bounded domain when the functions do vanish only on a closed portion of the boundary.

Bounds are obtained for the $L^p$ norm of the torsion function $v_{\Omega}$, i.e. the solution of $-\Delta v=1,\, v\in H_0^1(\Omega),$ in terms of the Lebesgue measure of $\Omega$ and the principal eigenvalue $\lambda_1(\Omega)$ of the…

We establish various Hardy inequalities involving the distance function from submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds, where the natural weights are expressed in terms of bounds of the mean curvature of the submanifold and sectional/Ricci…

A simple sufficient condition on curved end of a straight cylinder is found that provides a localization of the principal eigenfunction of the mixed boundary value for the Laplace operator with the Dirichlet conditions on the lateral side.…

We prove an inequality of Hardy type for functions in Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. The distance involved is being measured to a given Ahlfors d-regular set in R^n, with n-1<d<n. As an application of the Hardy inequality, we consider boundedness…

We develop the theory of torsional rigidity -- a quantity routinely considered for Dirichlet Laplacians on bounded planar domains -- for Laplacians on metric graphs with at least one Dirichlet vertex. Using a variational characterization…

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in infinite two-dimensional strips defined as uniform tubular neighbourhoods of curves on ruled surfaces. We show that the negative Gauss curvature of the ambient surface gives rise to a Hardy inequality…

We prove the attainability of the best constant in the fractional Hardy--Sobolev inequality with boundary singularity for the Spectral Dirichlet Laplacian. The main assumption is the average concavity of the boundary at the origin.

We present explicit formulas for solutions to nonhomogeneous boundary value problems involving any positive power of the Laplacian in the half-space. For non-integer powers the operator becomes nonlocal and this requires a suitable…

We obtain optimal generalized versions of Hardy inequalities, which as special cases contain Hardy's inequality and Hardy's inequality involving the distance function to the boundary of $ \Omega$. In addition we obtain neccesary and…

This is the first part of our research on certain sharp Hardy-Sobolev inequalities and the related elliptic equations. In this part we shall establish some sharp weighted Hardy-Sobolev inequalities whose weights are distance functions to…
