We show that, when $sp>N$, the sharp Hardy constant $\mathfrak{h}_{s,p}$ of the punctured space $\mathbb R^N\setminus\{0\}$ in the Sobolev-Slobodecki\u{\i} space provides an optimal lower bound for the Hardy constant…

Motivated by pioneering works of Bandle and Wagner, given a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^d$ with $d\ge3$, we consider the Robin-Laplacian torsional rigidity $\tau_\alpha(\Omega)$ with negative boundary parameter…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded $C^{2}$ domain in $\R^n$, and let $\Omega^{\ast}$ be the Euclidean ball centered at 0 and having the same Lebesgue measure as $\Omega$. Consider the operator $L=-\div(A\nabla)+v\cdot \nabla +V$ on $\Omega$ with…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded $(\varepsilon,\infty)$-domain with $\varepsilon\in(0,1]$, $X(\mathbb{R}^n)$ a ball Banach function space satisfying some extra mild assumptions, and $\{\rho_\nu\}_{\nu\in(0,\nu_0)}$ with…

The goal of this short note is to prove qualitative stability for a family of trace Sobolev inequalities first proven by Carlen \& Loss for $p=2$ and by Maggi and the author for $p\in (1,n)$. This answers an open problem raised in a recent…

We study the Hardy inequality when the singularity is placed on the boundary of a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ that satisfies both an interior and exterior ball condition at the singularity. We obtain the sharp Hardy constant $n^2/4$ in…

We show existence of minimizers for the Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequality in $R^{m+n}\setminus\R^n$ for $m=1$ and $n>2$ or for $m>2$ and $n>0$.

We consider a version of the fractional Sobolev inequality in domains and study whether the best constant in this inequality is attained. For the half-space and a large class of bounded domains we show that a minimizer exists, which is in…

We present the best constant and the existence of extremal functions for an Improved Hardy-Sobolev inequality. We prove that, under a proper transformation, this inequality is equivalent to the Sobolev inequality in $\mathbb{R}^N$. We also…

We prove the existence of minimizers for some constrained variational problems on $BV(\Omega)$, under subcritical and critical restrictions, involving the affine energy introduced by Zhang in \cite{Z}. Related functionals have non-coercive…

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 establish the higher differentiability for the minimizers of the following non-autonomous integral functionals \begin{equation*} \mathcal{F}(u,\Omega):= \, \int_\Omega \sum_{i=1}^{n} \, a_i(x) \lvert u_{x_i} \rvert^{p_i} dx,…

Let X and Y be bounded multiply connected Lipschitz domains in \R^2. We consider the class H_p (X, Y) of homeomorphisms h : X -> Y in the Sobolev space W^{1,p} (X, \R^2). We prove that the weak and strong closures of H_p (X, Y), 2 \le p<…

We propose a new approach to study the existence and non-existence of maximizers for the variational problems associated with Sobolev type inequalities both in the subcritical case and critical case under the equivalent constraints. The…

We establish -among other things- existence and multiplicity of solutions for the Dirichlet problem $\sum_i\partial_{ii}u+\frac{|u|^{\crit-2}u}{|x|^s}=0$ on smooth bounded domains $\Omega$ of $ \rn$ ($n\geq 3$) involving the critical…

In this paper we study the Sobolev embedding theorem for variable exponent spaces with critical exponents. We find conditions on the best constant in order to guaranty the existence of extremals. The proof is based on a suitable refinement…

We prove some regularity results for a priori bounded local minimizers of non-autonomous integral functionals of the form $$\mathcal{F}(v,\Omega)=\int_\Omega F(x,Dv)dx,$$ under the constraint $v \ge \psi$ a.e. in $\Omega$, where $\psi$ is a…

We consider Hardy inequalities in $I R^n$, $n \geq 3$, with best constant that involve either distance to the boundary or distance to a surface of co-dimension $k<n$, and we show that they can still be improved by adding a multiple of a…
