The existence of extremal functions for the Sobolev trace inequalities is studied using the concentration compactness theorem. The conjectured extremal, the function of conformal factor, is considered and is proved to be an actual extremal…

We consider the situation when an elliptic problem in a subdomain $\Omega_1$ of an $n$-dimensional bounded domain $\Omega$ is coupled via inhomogeneous canonical transmission conditions to a parabolic problem in $\Omega\setminus\Omega_1$.…
In this short note, we consider the Dirichlet problem associated to an even order elliptic system with antisymmetric first order potential. Given any continuous boundary data, we show that weak solutions are continuous up to boundary.
Comparison results for solutions to the Dirichlet problems for a class of nonlinear, anisotropic parabolic equations are established. These results are obtained through a semi-discretization method in time after providing estimates for…

We study the elliptic equation with a line Dirac delta function as the source term subject to the Dirichlet boundary condition in a two-dimensional domain. Such a line Dirac measure causes different types of solution singularities in the…
This work studies mixtures of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and gives bounds on the Poincar\'e and the log-Sobolev constant of two-component mixtures provided that each component satisfies the functional inequality, and both…

We consider an elliptic problem with unknowns on the boundary of the domain of the elliptic equation and suppose that the right-hand side of this equation is square integrable and that the boundary data are arbitrary (specifically,…
In the context of metric measure spaces, we introduce an axiomatic formulation of mixed local and nonlocal $p$-energy forms. Within this framework, we use the Poincar\'{e} inequality, the cutoff Sobolev inequality, and mild assumptions on…
We show some examples for uniformly monotone operators arising in weak formulation of nonlinear elliptic and parabolic problems. Besides the classical $p$-Laplacian some other less known examples are given which might be of interest because…
We study a nonlinear, nonlocal eigenvalue problem driven by the fractional p-Laplacian with an indefinite, singular weight chosen in an optimal class. We prove the existence of an unbounded sequence of positive variational eigenvalues and…
This paper is devoted to improvements of Sobolev and Onofri inequalities. The additional terms involve the dual counterparts, i.e. Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev type inequalities. The Onofri inequality is achieved as a limit case of Sobolev type…
We develop subrepresentation inequalities for infinitely degenerate metrics, and obtain corresponding Poincare and Sobolev inequalities. We then derive conditions on the degenerate metric under which weak solutions to associated infinitely…
We study the behaviour of solutions of linear non-autonomous parabolic equations subject to Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions under perturbation of the domain. We prove that Mosco convergence of function spaces for non-autonomous…
A criterion is presented for the Modified Logarithmic Sobolev inequality on metric measure spaces. The criterion based on U-bound inequalities introduced by Hebisch and Zegarlinski allows to show the inequality for measures that go beyond…
We consider singular solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations under zero Dirichlet boundary condition. Under suitable assumptions on the nonlinearity we deduce symmetry and monotonicity properties of positive solutions via an improved…
Sobolev type inequalities involving homogeneous elliptic canceling differential operators and rearrangement-invariant norms on the Euclidean space are considered. They are characterized via considerably simpler one-dimensional Hardy type…
