On the constants for some Sobolev imbeddings

A comprehensive approach to Sobolev-type embeddings, involving arbitrary rearrangement- invariant norms on the entire Euclidean space R^n, is offered. In particular, the optimal target space in any such embedding is exhibited. Crucial in our analysis is a new reduction principle for the relevant embeddings, showing their equivalence to a couple of considerably simpler one-dimensional inequalities. Applications to the classes of the Orlicz-Sobolev and the Lorentz-Sobolev space...

We extend in this article the classical imbedding theorems for fractional Lebesgue-Sobolev's spaces into the so-called Grand Lebesgue spaces, with sharp constant evaluation.

In the framework of Sobolev (Bessel potential) spaces $H^n(\reali^d, \reali {or} \complessi)$, we consider the nonlinear Nemytskij operator sending a function $x \in \reali^d \mapsto f(x)$ into a composite function $x \in \reali^d \mapsto G(f(x), x)$. Assuming sufficient smoothness for $G$, we give a "tame" bound on the $H^n$ norm of this composite function in terms of a linear function of the $H^n$ norm of $f$, with a coefficient depending on $G$ and on the $H^a$ norm of $f$...

Given two measurable functions $V(r)\geq 0$ and $K(r)> 0$, $r>0$, we define the weighted spaces \[ H_V^1 = \{u \in D^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^N): \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}V(|x|)u^{2}dx < \infty \}, \quad L_K^q = L^q(\mathbb{R}^N,K(|x|)dx) \] and study the compact embeddings of the radial subspace of $H_V^1$ into $L_K^{q_1}+L_K^{q_2}$, and thus into $L_K^q$ ($=L_K^q+L_K^q$) as a particular case. Both super- and sub-quadratic exponents $q_1$, $q_2$ and $q$ are considered. Our results do not ...

In this paper, we investigate optimal linear approximations ($n$-approximation numbers ) of the embeddings from the Sobolev spaces $H^r\ (r>0)$ for various equivalent norms and the Gevrey type spaces $G^{\alpha,\beta}\ (\alpha,\beta>0)$ on the sphere $\Bbb S^d$ and on the ball $\Bbb B^d$, where the approximation error is measured in the $L_2$-norm. We obtain preasymptotics, asymptotics, and strong equivalences of the above approximation numbers as a function in $n$ and the di...

A Sobolev type embedding for radially symmetric functions on the unit ball $B$ in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 3$, into the variable exponent Lebesgue space $L_{2^\star + |x|^\alpha} (B)$, $2^\star = 2n/(n-2)$, $\alpha>0$, is known due to J.M. do \'O, B. Ruf, and P. Ubilla, namely, the inequality \[ \sup\Big\{\int_B |u(x)|^{2^\star+|x|^\alpha} dx : u\in H^1_{0,{\rm rad}}(B), \|\nabla u\|_{L^2(B)} =1\Big\} < +\infty \] holds. In this work, we generalize the above inequality for h...

We investigate the problem of establishing bilateral continuous embeddings of the uniformly localized Bessel potential spaces $H^{\gamma}_{r, \: unif}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ into the multiplier spaces between Bessel potential spaces with positive smoothness indices. This problem is considered in the model situation when the natural norms of both of these Bessel potential spaces are generated by some inner product yet the description theorems for the corresponding multiplier space in ...

In this paper we study the Sobolev embedding theorem for variable exponent spaces with critical exponents. We find conditions on the best constant in order to guaranty the existence of extremals. The proof is based on a suitable refinement of the estimates in the Concentration--Compactness Theorem for variable exponents and an adaptation of a convexity argument due to P.L. Lions, F. Pacella and M. Tricarico.

The author establishes some geometric criteria for a domain of ${\mathbb R}^n$ with $n\ge2$ to support a $(pn/(n-ps),\,p)_s$-Haj{\l}asz-Sobolev-Poincar\'e imbedding with $s\in(0,\,1]$ and $p\in(n/(n+s),\,n/s)$ or an $s$-Haj{\l}asz-Trudinger imbedding with $s\in(0,\,1]$.

In this paper we establish an optimal Lorentz space estimate for the Riesz potential acting on curl-free vectors: There is a constant $C=C(\alpha,d)>0$ such that \[ \|I_\alpha F \|_{L^{d/(d-\alpha),1}(\mathbb{R}^d;\mathbb{R}^d)} \leq C \|F\|_{L^1(\mathbb{R}^d;\mathbb{R}^d)} \] for all fields $F \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^d;\mathbb{R}^d)$ such that $\operatorname*{curl} F=0$ in the sense of distributions. This is the best possible estimate on this scale of spaces and completes the pic...
