This note has a twofold purpose. To improve the best known lower estimates of the Hardy-Littlewood inequality for $m$-linear forms in $\ell_{p}$ spaces and to provide a closed formula encompassing the cases $p>2m$ and $% p=2m.$ Our approach…

We obtain the sharp constant for the Hardy-Sobolev inequality involving the distance to the origin. This inequality is equivalent to a limiting Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality. In three dimensions, in certain cases the sharp constant…

We consider weighted $L^p$-Hardy inequalities involving the distance to the boundary of a domain in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space with nonempty boundary. Using criticality theory, we give an alternative proof of the following result…

We study the $P_1$ finite element approximation of the best constant in the classical Hardy inequality over bounded domains containing the origin in $\mathbb{R}^N$, for $N \geq 3$. Despite the fact that this constant is not attained in the…

We obtain the sharp factor of the two-sides estimates of the optimal constant in generalized Hardy's inequality with two general Borel measures on $\mathbb{R}$, which generalizes and unifies the known continuous and discrete cases.

For the fractional Laplacian we give Hardy inequality which is optimal in $L^p$ for $1<p<\infty$. As an application, we explicitly characterize the contractivity of the corresponding Feynman-Kac semigroups on $L^p$.

We establish a new improvement of the classical $L^p$-Hardy inequality on the multidimensional Euclidean space in the supercritical case. Recently, in [14], there has been a new kind of development of the one dimensional Hardy inequality.…

The current status concerning Hardy-type inequalities with sharp constants is presented and described in a unified convexity way. In particular, it is then natural to replace the Lebesgue measure $dx$ with the Haar measure $dx/x.$ There are…

We consider a general class of sharp $L^p$ Hardy inequalities in $\R^N$ involving distance from a surface of general codimension $1\leq k\leq N$. We show that we can succesively improve them by adding to the right hand side a lower order…

We investigate the continuity and differentiability of the Hardy constant with respect to perturbations of the domain in the case where the problem involves the distance from a boundary submanifold. We also investigate the case where only…

We prove an optimal Hardy inequality for the fractional Laplacian on the half-space.

The mixed principal eigenvalue of $p\,$-Laplacian (equivalently, the optimal constant of weighted Hardy inequality in $L^p$ space) is studied in this paper. Several variational formulas for the eigenvalue are presented. As applications of…

We compute the optimal constant for a generalized Hardy-Sobolev inequality, and using the product of two symmetrizations we present an elementary proof of the symmetries of some optimal functions. This inequality was motivated by a…

In this paper we present a unified simple approach to anisotropic Hardy inequalities in various settings. We consider Hardy inequalities which involve a Finsler distance from a point or from the boundary of a domain. The sharpness and the…

Let P be a linear, second order, elliptic operator satisfying a Hardy inequality with potential W (i.e. $P-W\geq0$) and best constant $\alpha$. We give conditions so that the spectrum of $W^{-1}P$ is $[\alpha,\infty)$. We apply this to…

We study the fractional Hardy inequality on the integers. We prove the optimality of the Hardy weight and hence affirmatively answer the question of sharpness of the constant.

The extension of the Hardy-Knopp-Carleman inequality to several classes of means was the subject of numerous papers. In the class of Gini means the Hardy property was characterized in 2015 by the second author. The precise value of the…

This is the first part of our research on certain sharp Hardy-Sobolev inequalities and the related elliptic equations. In this part we shall establish some sharp weighted Hardy-Sobolev inequalities whose weights are distance functions to…
