We consider the Sobolev (Bessel potential) spaces H^ell(R^d, C), and their standard norms || ||_ell (with ell integer or noninteger). We are interested in the unknown sharp constant K_{ell m n d} in the inequality || f g ||_{ell} \leqs…

We consider the imbedding inequality || f ||_{L^r(R^d)} <= S_{r,n,d} || f ||_{H^{n}(R^d)}; H^{n}(R^d) is the Sobolev space (or Bessel potential space) of L^2 type and (integer or fractional) order n. We write down upper bounds for the…

Consider the Poincar\'e-Sobolev inequality on the hyperbolic space: for every $n \geq 3$ and $1 < p \leq \frac{n+2}{n-2},$ there exists a best constant $S_{n,p, \lambda}(\mathbb{B}^{n})>0$ such that $$S_{n, p,…

The question is addressed of when a Sobolev type space, built upon a general rearrangement-invariant norm, on an $n$-dimensional domain, is a Banach algebra under pointwise multiplication of functions. A sharp balance condition among the…

In 2013, Koldobsky posed the problem to find a constant $d_n$, depending only on the dimension $n$, such that for any origin-symmetric convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ there exists an $(n-1)$-dimensional linear subspace…

We consider the inequalities of Gagliardo-Nirenberg and Sobolev in R^d, formulated in terms of the Laplacian Delta and of the fractional powers D^n := (-Delta)^(n/2) with real n >= 0; we review known facts and present novel results in this…

We obtain the optimal value of the constant K(n,s) in the Sobolev-Nirenberg-Gagliardo inequality $ \|\,u\,\|_{L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} \leq K(n,s) \,\|\, u \,\|_{L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}^{1 - n/(2s)} \|\, u…

Let ${\mathcal D}(n)$ be the maximal determinant for $n \times n$ $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices, and $\mathcal R(n) = {\mathcal D}(n)/n^{n/2}$ be the ratio of ${\mathcal D}(n)$ to the Hadamard upper bound. Using the probabilistic method, we prove…

We establish fine bounds for best constants of the fractional subcritical Sobolev embeddings \begin{align*} W_{0}^{s,p}\left(\Omega\right)\hookrightarrow L^{q}\left(\Omega\right), \end{align*} where $N\geq1$, $0<s<1$, $p=1,2$, $1\leq…

We prove the well-posedness and regularity of solutions in mixed-norm weighted Sobolev spaces for a class of second-order parabolic and elliptic systems in divergence form in the half-space $\mathbb{R}^d_+ = \{x_d > 0\}$ subject to the…

In this note we will generalize the results deduced in arXiv:1905.08203 and arXiv:2103.15360 to fractional Sobolev spaces. In particular we will show that for $s\in (0,1)$, $n>2s$ and $\nu\in \mathbb{N}$ there exists constants $\delta =…

Grothendieck constants $K_G(d)$ bound the advantage of $d$-dimensional strategies over $1$-dimensional ones in a specific optimisation task. They have applications ranging from approximation algorithms to quantum nonlocality. However, apart…

In 2008, Bukh, Matousek, and Nivasch conjectured that for every n-point set S in R^d and every k, 0 <= k <= d-1, there exists a k-flat f in R^d (a "centerflat") that lies at "depth" (k+1) n / (k+d+1) - O(1) in S, in the sense that every…

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$, and $k\geq 1$ an integer such that $n>2k$. We show that there exists $B_0>0$ such that for all $u \in H^{k}(M)$, \[\|u\|_{L^{2^\sharp}(M)}^2 \leq K_0^2 \int_M |\Delta_g^{k/2}…

Let $d \geq 1$ and $s \leq 2^d$ be nonnegative integers. For a subset $A$ of vertices of the hypercube $Q_n$ and $n\geq d$, let $\lambda(n,d,s,A)$ denote the fraction of subcubes $Q_d$ of $Q_n$ that contain exactly $s$ vertices of $A$. Let…

We prove uniqueness and stability for the inverse boundary value problem of the two dimensional Schr\"odinger equation. We do not assume the potentials to be continuous or even bounded. Instead, we assume that some of their positive…

Let $A, B$, be finite subsets of an abelian group, and let $G \subset A \times B$ be such that $# A, # B, # \{a+b: (a,b) \in G \} \leq N$. We consider the question of estimating the quantity $# \{a-b: (a,b) \in G \}$. Recently Bourgain…
