We prove, using elementary methods of complex analysis, the following generalization of the isoperimetric inequality: if $p\in\re$, $\Omega\subset\re^2$ then the inequality $$…
The classical Sobolev and Escobar inequalities are embedded into the same one-parameter family of sharp trace-Sobolev inequalities on half-spaces. Equality cases are characterized for each inequality in this family by tweaking a well-known…
The purpose of this short article is to prove some potential estimates that naturally arise in the study of subelliptic Sobolev inequalites for functions. This will allow us to prove a local subelliptic Sobolev inequality with the optimal…
We consider the Sobolev norms of the pointwise product of two functions, and estimate from above and below the constants appearing in two related inequalities.
This is a continuation of our previous work 0712.4092. It is well known that various isoperimetric inequalities imply their functional ``counterparts'', but in general this is not an equivalence. We show that under certain convexity…
We give complete details on an alternative formulation of the Polya-Szego principle that was mentioned in Remark 1 of our paper "Isoperimetry and Symmetrization for Logarithmic Sobolev inequalities". We also provide an alternative proof to…
We offer new proofs, refinements as well as new results related to classical means of two variables, including the identric and logarithmic means.
We prove a sharp logarithmic Sobolev inequality which holds for submanifolds in Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension and codimension. Like the Michael-Simon Sobolev inequality, this inequality includes a term involving the mean curvature.
The Ehrhard-Borell inequality is a far-reaching refinement of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality that captures the sharp convexity and isoperimetric properties of Gaussian measures. Unlike in the classical Brunn-Minkowski theory, the…
This paper studies the Hardy-type inequalities on the intervals (may be infinite) with two weights, either vanishing at two endpoints of the interval or having mean zero. For the first type of inequalities, in terms of new isoperimetric…
The subject of these Notes is the new proof, proposed in [F. H{\'e}lein, In{\'e}galit{\'e} isop{\'e}rim{\'e}trique et calibrations, Annales de l'Institut Fourier 44, 4 (1994), 1211-1218] of the classical isoperimetric inequality in the…
We observe after Bayle and Rosales that the Levy-Gromov isoperimetric inequality generalizes to convex manifolds with boundary.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the isoperimetric inequality for symmetric log-convex probability measures on the line. Using geometric arguments we first re-prove that extremal sets in the isoperimetric inequality are intervals or…
We settle the case of equality for the relative isoperimetric inequality outside any arbitrary convex set with not empty interior.
This paper deals with various questions related to the isoperimetic problem for smooth positive measure $d\mu = \varphi(x)dx$, with $x \in \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$. Firstly we find some necessary conditions on the density of the measure…
We prove a Cheeger inequality for the first positive Steklov eigenvalue. It involves two isoperimetric constants.
In this paper, new inequalities connected with the celebrated Steffensen's integral inequality are proved.
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…
We establish a family of functional inequalities interpolating between the classical logarithmic Sobolev and Poincar\'e inequalities. We prove that they imply the concentration of measure phenomenon intermediate between Gaussian and…
We give a short proof of a reverse isoperimetric inequality due to Y. Groman and J. P. Solomon.
