The aim of this paper is to establish uniform estimates of the spectrum's bottom of the Neumann realization of $(i\nabla+q\A)^2$ on a bounded open set $\Om$ with smooth boundary when $|\nabla\times\A|=1$ and $q\to+\infty$. This problem was…
We study the sharp constant in the Morrey inequality for fractional Sobolev-Slobodecki\u{\i} spaces on the whole $\mathbb{R}^N$. By generalizing a recent work by Hynd and Seuffert, we prove existence of extremals, together with some…

We settle the problem of finding the sharp constant in the log Sobolev inequality on the $n$-cycle for all $n\ge 4$, by showing that it is equal to half of the spectral gap. We deduce this result from an optimal cubic Sobolev inequality.

Solutions to $p$-Laplace equations are not, in general, of class $C^2$. The study of Sobolev regularity of the second derivatives is, therefore, a crucial issue. An important contribution by Cianchi and Maz'ya shows that, if the source term…
