We establish existence of weighted Hardy and Rellich inequalities on the spaces $L_p(\Omega)$ where $\Omega= \Ri^d\backslash K$ with $K$ a closed convex subset of $\Ri^d$. Let $\Gamma=\partial\Omega$ denote the boundary of $\Omega$ and…
We study Rellich inequalities associated to higher-order elliptic operators in the Euclidean space. The inequalities are expressed in terms of an associated Finsler metric. In the case of half-spaces we obtain the sharp constant while for a…
We study the Riemannian distance function from a fixed point (a point-wise target) of Euclidean space in the presence of a compact obstacle bounded by a smooth hypersurface. First, we show that such a function is locally semiconcave with a…
We consider Hardy-Rellich inequalities and discuss their possible improvement. The procedure is based on decomposition into spherical harmonics, where in addition various new inequalities are obtained (e.g. Rellich-Sobolev inequalities). We…
We prove two improved versions of the Hardy-Rellich inequality for the polyharmonic operator $(-\Delta)^m$ involving the distance to the boundary. The first involves an infinite series improvement using logarithmic functions, while the…
For a bounded convex domain \Omega in R^N we prove refined Hardy inequalities that involve the Hardy potential corresponding to the distance to the boundary of \Omega, the volume of $\Omega$, as well as a finite number of sharp logarithmic…
Based on a new idea of factorization, we prove an improved discrete Rellich inequality and discuss its optimality. We also give a conjecture on improved higher order discrete Hardy-like inequalities and formulate an open problem for the…
We consider Hardy inequalities in $I R^n$, $n \geq 3$, with best constant that involve either distance to the boundary or distance to a surface of co-dimension $k<n$, and we show that they can still be improved by adding a multiple of a…
We consider a type of Hardy-Sobolev inequality, whose weight function is singular on the whole domain boundary. We are concerned with the attainability of the best constant of such inequality. In dimension two, we link the inequality to a…
In this paper we establish improved Hardy and Rellich type inequalities on Riemannian manifold $M$. Furthermore, we also obtain sharp constant for the improved Hardy inequality and explicit constant for the Rellich inequality on hyperbolic…
A new characterization of convexity of a planar domain is obtained. Its derivation involves two classical facts: the Varadhan's formula, expressing the distance function with respect to the domain's boundary via real-valued solutions of the…
We give a short and self-contained proof of the Boundary Harnack inequality for a class of domains satisfying some geometric conditions given in terms of a state function that behaves as the distance function to the boundary, is subharmonic…
A direct proof of Oka's lemma on the relation of holomorphic convexity and the properties of the distance to the boundary function is provided. Some related problems for subharmonicity properties of this function are also studied. A new…
We give improvements and generalizations of both the classical Hardy inequality and the geometric Hardy inequality based on the divergence theorem. Especially, our improved Hardy type inequality derives both two Hardy type inequalities with…
In this paper, we prove generalizations to the L^p setting of the Hardy-Rellich inequalities on domains of R^N with singularity given by the distance function to the boundary. The inequalities we obtain are either sharp in bounded domains,…
We consider the $L^p$ Hardy inequality involving the distance to the boundary for a domain in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. We study the dependence on $p$ of the corresponding best constant and we prove monotonicity, continuity and…
On any proper convex domain in real projective space there exists a natural Riemannian metric, the Blaschke metric. On the other hand, distances between points can be measured in the Hilbert metric. Using techniques of optimal control, we…
Let $\Omega$ be a cone in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $n\ge 2$. For every fixed $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$ we find the best constant in the Rellich inequality $\int_{\Omega}|x|^{\alpha}|\Delta u|^{2}dx\ge C\int_{\Omega}|x|^{\alpha-4}|u|^{2}dx$ for…
A characterization of the proximal normal cone is obtained and a separation theorem for convex subsets of Riemannian manifolds is established. Moreover, the convexity of the distance function $d_S$ for a convex subset $S$ in the cases where…
The classical Rellich inequalities imply that the $L^2$-norms of the normal and tangential derivatives of a harmonic function are equivalent. In this note, we prove several refined inequalities, which make sense even if the domain is not…
