Abstract

We consider the monomial weight x1A1...xnAn|x_1|^{A_1}...|x_n|^{A_n} in Rn\mathbb R^n, where Ai0A_i\geq0 is a real number for each i=1,...,ni=1,...,n, and establish Sobolev, isoperimetric, Morrey, and Trudinger inequalities involving this weight. They are the analogue of the classical ones with the Lebesgue measure dxdx replaced by x1A1...xnAndx|x_1|^{A_1}...|x_n|^{A_n}dx, and they contain the best or critical exponent (which depends on A1A_1, ..., AnA_n). More importantly, for the Sobolev and isoperimetric inequalities, we obtain the best constant and extremal functions. When AiA_i are nonnegative \textit{integers}, these inequalities are exactly the classical ones in the Euclidean space RD\mathbb R^D (with no weight) when written for axially symmetric functions and domains in RD=RA1+1×...×RAn+1\mathbb R^D=\mathbb R^{A_1+1}\times...\times\mathbb R^{A_n+1}.

Comments

The proof of Theorem 1.6 in the previous version of this paper was not correct. Indeed, Lemma 5.1 in that version was not true as stated therein. We thank Georgios Psaradakis for pointing this to us
