We establish sharp estimates for the discrete optimal constant of the fractional Sobolev inequality in dimension $N\geq 1$, with fractional exponent $s\in (0,\min\{1,N/2\})$. The convergence rates that we establish take place for the…
It is proved in Chon{\'e} and Le Meur (2001) that the problem of minimizing a Dirichlet-like functional of the function $u\_h$ discretized with $P\_1$ Finite Elements, under the constraint that $u\_h$ be convex, cannot converge. Here, we…
