Let $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^2$ be a bounded domain on which Hardy's inequality holds. We prove that $[\exp(u^2)-1]/\delta^2\in L^1(\Omega)$ if $u\in H^1_0(\Omega)$, where $\delta$ denotes the distance to $\partial\Omega$. The…

We investigate the properties of minimizers of one-dimensional variational problems when the Lagrangian has no higher smoothness than continuity. An elementary approximation result is proved, but it is shown that this cannot be in general…

The Hardy constant of a simply connected domain $\Omega\subset\mathbf{R}^2$ is the best constant for the inequality \[ \int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^2dx \geq c\int_{\Omega} \frac{u^2}{{\rm dist}(x,\partial\Omega)^2}\, dx \; , \;\;\quad u\in…

The aim of this paper is to review and compare the spectral properties of (the closed extension of) --$\Delta$ + U (V $\ge$ 0) and --$\Delta$ + iV in L 2 (R^d) for C $\infty$ real potentials U or V with polynomial behavior. The case with…

We consider a new type of obstacle problem in the cylindrical domain $\Omega=D\times (0,1)$ arising from minimization of the functional $$ \int_\Omega \frac{1}{2}|\nabla u|^2+\chi_{\{v>0\}}udx, $$ where $v(x')=\int_0^1 u(x', t) dt $. We…

We present two novel methods for approximating minimizers of the abstract Rayleigh quotient $\Phi(u)/ \|u\|^p$. Here $\Phi$ is a strictly convex functional on a Banach space with norm $\|\cdot\|$, and $\Phi$ is assumed to be positively…

For a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ and $p \geq q \geq 2$, we establish quantified versions of the classical Friedrichs inequality $\|\nabla u\|_p^p - \lambda_1 \|u\|_q^p \geq 0$, $u \in W_0^{1,p}(\Omega)$, where $\lambda_1$ is a…

In this paper, we prove a sharp, weighted Hardy-type inequality for the Dirac operator. A key feature of our result is that the inequality is not only sharp but also attained, and we construct explicit minimizers that satisfy the equality…

We consider the following time-independent nonlinear $L^2$-critical Schr\"{o}dinger equation \[ -\Delta u(x)+V(x)u(x)-a|x|^{-b}|u|^{1+\frac{4-2b}{N}}=\mu u(x)\,\ \hbox{in}\,\ \mathbb{R}^N, \] where $\mu\in\mathbb{R}$, $a>0$, $N\geq 1$,…
