The embedding constants of the Sobolev spaces $\mathring{W}^n_2[0;1] \hookrightarrow \mathring{W}^k_\infty[0; 1]$ ($0\leqslant k \leqslant n-1$) are studied. A relation of the embedding constants with the norms of the functionals $f\mapsto…

We obtain sharp embeddings from the Sobolev space $W^{k,2}_0(-1,1)$ into the space $L^1(-1,1)$ and determine the extremal functions. This improves on a previous estimate of the sharp constants of these embeddings due to Kalyabin.

We establish fine bounds for best constants of the fractional subcritical Sobolev embeddings \begin{align*} W_{0}^{s,p}\left(\Omega\right)\hookrightarrow L^{q}\left(\Omega\right), \end{align*} where $N\geq1$, $0<s<1$, $p=1,2$, $1\leq…

Let $\Lambda \subset R$ be a strictly increasing sequence. For $r = 1,2$, we give a simple explicit expression for an equivalent norm on the trace spaces $W_p^r(R)|_\Lambda$, $L_p^r(R)|_\Lambda$ of the non-homogeneous and homogeneous…

In this paper we provide a priori error estimates in standard Sobolev (semi-)norms for approximation in spline spaces of maximal smoothness on arbitrary grids. The error estimates are expressed in terms of a power of the maximal grid…

We derive estimates in a weighted Sobolev space $W^{k,p}_{\mu}(D)$ for a homotopy operator on a bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain $D$ of $C^2$ boundary in ${\C}^n$. As a result, we show that given any $2n < p < \infty$, $k > 1$, $q \geq…

In this paper, we obtain the sharp $k$-th order Sobolev inequalities in the hyperbolic space ${\H}^n$ for all $k=1,2,3,\cdots$. This gives an answer to an open question raised by Aubin in [5, p.$\;$176-177] for $W^{k,2}({\H}^n)$ with $k>1$.…

In this paper, we study the critical Sobolev embeddings $W^{1,p(x)}(\Omega)\subset L^{p^*(x)}(\Omega)$ for variable exponent Sobolev spaces from the point of view of the $\Gamma$-convergence. More precisely we determine the $\Gamma$-limit…

Polynomial approximation is studied in the Sobolev space $W_p^r(w_{\alpha,\beta})$ that consists of functions whose $r$-th derivatives are in weighted $L^p$ space with the Jacobi weight function $w_{\alpha,\beta}$. This requires…

We consider the imbedding inequality || f ||_{L^r(R^d)} <= S_{r,n,d} || f ||_{H^{n}(R^d)}; H^{n}(R^d) is the Sobolev space (or Bessel potential space) of L^2 type and (integer or fractional) order n. We write down upper bounds for the…

The aim of this note is to prove sharp regularity estimates for solutions of the continuity equation associated to vector fields of class $W^{1,p}$ with $p>1$. The regularity is of "logarithmic order" and is measured by means of suitable…
