We give a functional version of the affine isoperimetric inequality for log-concave functions which may be interpreted as an inverse form of a logarithmic Sobolev inequality inequality for entropy. A linearization of this inequality gives…

We describe a recent, one-parameter family of characterizations of Sobolev and BV functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$, using sizes of superlevel sets of suitable difference quotients. This provides an alternative point of view to the BBM formula by…

In the setting of finite-dimensional $\mathrm{RCD}(K,N)$ spaces, we characterize the $p$-Sobolev spaces for $p\in(1,\infty)$ and the space of functions of bounded variation in terms of the short-time behaviour of the heat flow. Moreover, we…

In this paper, we show that any Sobolev norm of nonnegative integer order of radially symmetric functions is equivalent to a weighted Sobolev norm of their radial profile. This establishes in terms of weighted Sobolev spaces on an interval…

We consider the question of whether a domain with uniformly thick boundary at all locations and at all scales has a large portion of its boundary visible from the interior; here, "visibility" indicates the existence of John curves…

We show that quasi-minimizers of non-homogeneous energy functionals on metric measure spaces are locally H\"older continuous and satisfy the Harnack inequality. We assume that the spaces are doubling and support a Poincar\'e inequality. The…

We study generalized Poincar\'e inequalities. We prove that if a function satisfies a suitable inequality of Poincar\'e type, then the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function also obeys a meaningful estimate of similar form. As a by-product, we…

We generalize the extension and trace results of Bj\"orn-Bj\"orn-Shanmugalingam \cite{BBS21} to the setting of complete noncompact doubling metric measure spaces and their uniformized hyperbolic fillings. This is done through a…

We study a measure-theoretic notion of connectedness for sets of finite perimeter in the setting of doubling metric measure spaces supporting a weak $(1,1)$-Poincar\'{e} inequality. The two main results we obtain are a decomposition theorem…

We establish an isoperimetric type inequality for the level sets of functions in fractional Sobolev spaces. This answers a question posed by the first author in a previous paper. To obtain it, we work out a slight modification of some…

In this paper n-dimensional Sobolev type spaces $ E_{\alpha}^{s,p}(\R^n_+)$ $(\alpha\in \R^n,\;\;\alpha_1> -\frac{1}{2},...,\alpha_n>-\frac{1}{2}, s\in \R, p\in [1,+\infty])$ are defined on $\R^n_+$ by using Fourier-Bessel transform. Some…

Morrey--Sobolev inequalities are established for functions in weighted Sobolev spaces on the $n$-dimensional half-space, where the weight is a power of the distance to the boundary, as well as for Sobolev spaces on the $n$-dimensional…

We study fine potential theory and in particular partitions of unity in quasiopen sets in the case $p=1$. Using these, we develop an analog of the discrete convolution technique in quasiopen (instead of open) sets. We apply this technique…

A Sobolev type embedding for radially symmetric functions on the unit ball $B$ in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 3$, into the variable exponent Lebesgue space $L_{2^\star + |x|^\alpha} (B)$, $2^\star = 2n/(n-2)$, $\alpha>0$, is known due to J.M. do…

We prove that in the context of general Markov semigroups Beckner inequalities with constants separated from zero as $p\to 1^+$ are equivalent to the modified log Sobolev inequality (previously only one implication was known to hold in this…

There are two definitions of the measurable functional on the topological vector space: as a linear and measurable real-valued function and as a pointwise limit of the sequence of the continious linear functionals. In general case they are…

We present a systematic study on a class of nonlocal integral functionals for functions defined on a bounded domain and the naturally induced function spaces. The function spaces are equipped with a seminorm depending on finite differences…

Consider a mapping $f\colon X\to Y$ between two metric measure spaces. We study generalized versions of the local Lipschitz number $\mathrm{Lip} f$, as well as of the distortion number $H_f$ that is used to define quasiconformal mappings.…

This work is concerned with a P\'olya-Szeg\"o type inequality for anisotropic functionals of Sobolev functions. The relevant inequality entails a double-symmetrization involving both trial functions and functionals. A new approach that…

We briefly discuss the contribution of Ha\"im Brezis and his co-authors on the characterizations of the Sobolev norms and the total variation using non-local functionals. Some ideas of the analysis are given and new results are presented.
