When a function belonging to a fractional-order Sobolev space is supported in a proper subset of the Lipschitz domain on which the Sobolev space is defined, how is its Sobolev norm as a function on the smaller set compared to its norm on…

We establish simple pointwise characterizations of functions in the Hardy-Sobolev spaces within the range n/(n+1)<p <=1. In addition, classical Hardy inequalities are extended to the case p <= 1.

The notion of pointwise differentials for distributions is a way to extract local information of distributions by rescaling the distribution at a point. In this paper, we study the pointwise differentials for distributions corresponding to…

We consider a family of Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev interpolation inequalities which interpolate between Sobolev's inequality and the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, with optimal constants. The difference of the two terms in the…

An inequality is derived for the correlation of two univariate functions operating on symmetric bivariate normal random variables. The inequality is a simple consequence of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.

We find best constants in several dilation invariant integral inequalities involving derivatives of functions. Some of these inequalities are new and some were known without best constants. The contents: 1. Estimate for a quadratic form of…

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…
