A direct approach to Orlicz–Sobolev capacity

This paper is motivated by Federer and Ziemer's potential-free approach to Sobolev capacity. We extend their results to Orlicz–Sobolev spaces and analyze the resulting notion of Orlicz–Sobolev capacity. In particular, we explore the relationship between the Orlicz–Sobolev capacity of a set and its Hausdorff dimension and then establish the quasicontinuity of Orlicz–Sobolev functions.     

On global singularities of Sobolev mappings

We define various invariants for Sobolev mappings defined between manifolds which are stable under perturbation with respect to the strong Sobolev topology. We show that these invariants classify various types of ``global singularities" of Sobolev maps. These invariants are used to give a simple characterization of the strong closure of the set of smooth maps in the Sobolev space.     

Logarithmic Sobolev trace inequality

A logarithmic Sobolev trace inequality is derived. Bounds on the best constant for this inequality from above and below are investigated using the sharp Sobolev inequality and the sharp logarithmic Sobolev inequality.

     

Convex Sobolev inequalities and spectral gap

This Note is devoted to the proof of convex Sobolev (or generalized Poincaré) inequalities which interpolate between spectral gap (or Poincaré) inequalities and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. We extend to the whole family of convex Sobolev inequalities results which have recently been obtained by Cattiaux, and Carlen and Loss for logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. Under local conditions on the density of the measure with respect to a reference measure, we prove that spectral gap inequalities imply all convex Sobolev inequalities including in the limit case corresponding to the logarithmic Sobolev inequalities.

Sobolev functions on infinite-dimensional domains

We study extensions of Sobolev and BV functions on infinite-dimensional domains. Along with some positive results we present a negative solution of the long-standing problem of existence of Sobolev extensions of functions in Gaussian Sobolev spaces from a convex domain to the whole space.     

Whitney’s jets for Sobolev functions

We present two fundamental facts from the jet theory for Sobolev spaces W ^{m, p} . One of these facts is that the formal differentiation of the k-jets theory is compatible with the pointwise definition of Sobolev (m − 1)-jet spaces on regular subsets of the Euclidean spaces ℝⁿ. The second result describes the Sobolev imbedding operator of Sobolev jet spaces increasing the order of integrability of Sobolev functions up to the critical Sobolev exponent.

Time-dependent Sobolev inequality along the Ricci flow

In this article, we get a time-dependent Sobolev inequality along the Ricci flow in a more general situation than those in Zhang (A uniform Sobolev inequality under Ricci flow. Int Math Res Not IMRN 2007, no 17, Art ID rnm056, 17 pp), Ye (The logarithmic Sobolev inequality along the Ricci flow. arXiv:0707.2424v2) and Hsu (Uniform Sobolev inequalities for manifolds evolving by Ricci flow. arXiv:0708.0893v1) which also generalizes the results of them. As an application of the time-dependent Sobolev inequality, we get a growth of the ratio of non-collapsing along immortal solutions of Ricci flow.     

On a class of Sobolev scalar products in the polynomials

This paper discusses Sobolev orthogonal polynomials for a class of scalar products that contains the sequentially dominated products introduced by Lagomasino and Pijeira. We prove asymptotics for Markov type functions associated to the Sobolev scalar product and an extension of Widom's Theorem on the location of the zeroes of the orthogonal polynomials. In the case of measures supported in the real line, we obtain results related to the determinacy of the Sobolev moment problem and the completeness of the polynomials in a suitably defined weighted Sobolev space.     

Asymptotics of best Sobolev constants on thin manifolds

We study the asymptotic behaviour of best Sobolev constants on a compact manifold with boundary that we contract in k directions or to a point. We find in the limit best Sobolev constants for weighted Sobolev spaces of the limit manifold.     

Polynomials,Higher Order Sobolev Extension Theorems and Interpolation Inequalities on Weighted Folland-Stein Spaces on Stratified Groups

This paper consists of three main parts. One of them is to develop local and global Sobolev interpolation inequalities of any higher order for the nonisotropic Sobolev spaces on stratified nilpotent Lie groups. Despite the extensive research after Jerison's work [3] on Poincaré-type inequalities for Hörmander's vector fields over the years, our results given here even in the nonweighted case appear to be new. Such interpolation inequalities have crucial applications to subelliptic or parabolic PDE's involving vector fields. The main tools to prove such inqualities are approximating the Sobolev functions by polynomials associated with the left invariant vector fields on ?. Some very usefull properties for polynomials associated with the functions are given here and they appear to have independent interests in their own rights. Finding the existence of such polynomials is the second main part of this paper. Main results of these two parts have been announced in the author's paper in Mathematical Research Letters [38].The third main part of this paper contains extension theorems on anisotropic Sobolev spaces on stratified groups and their applications to proving Sobolev interpolation inequalities on (?,δ) domains. Some results of weighted Sobolev spaces are also given here. We construct a linear extension operator which is bounded on different Sobolev spaces simultaneously. In particular, we are able to construct a bounded linear extension operator such that the derivatives of the extended function can be controlled by the same order of derivatives of the given Sobolev functions. Theorems are stated and proved for weighted anisotropic Sobolev spaces on stratified groups.     

Sobolev type inequalities for general symmetric forms

A general version of the Sobolev type inequality, including both the classical Sobolev inequality and the logarithmic Sobolev one, is studied for general symmetric forms by using isoperimetric constants. Some necessary and sufficient conditions are presented as results. The main results are illustrated by two examples of birth-death processes.

     

New Sobolev spaces via generalized Poincaré inequalities on metric measure spaces

In this paper, we introduce some new function spaces of Sobolev type on metric measure spaces. These new function spaces are defined by variants of Poincaré inequalities associated with generalized approximations of the identity, and they generalize the classical Sobolev spaces on Euclidean spaces. We then obtain two characterizations of these new Sobolev spaces including the characterization in terms of a variant of local sharp maximal functions associated with generalized approximations of the identity. For the well-known Hajłasz–Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces, we also establish some new characterizations related to generalized approximations of the identity. Finally, we clarify the relations between the Sobolev-type spaces introduced in this paper and the Hajłasz–Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces.     

Sobolev and Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev inequalities

This paper is devoted to improvements of Sobolev and Onofri inequalities. The additional terms involve the dual counterparts, i.e. Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev type inequalities. The Onofri inequality is achieved as a limit case of Sobolev type inequalities. Then we focus our attention on the constants in our improved Sobolev inequalities, that can be estimated by completion of the square methods. Our estimates rely on nonlinear flows and spectral problems based on a linearization around optimal Aubin–Talenti functions.     

Growth properties of Sobolev space functions over unbounded domains

Summary We study Sobolev space functions with prescribed growth properties on large spheres. In particular, we prove a weighted Poincaré type inequality for such functions. An extension to weighted Sobolev spaces is sketched.

Per tali funzioni si dimostra una disuguaglianza di tipo Poincaré con peso. Si indica inoltre anche una estensione di tale risultato a funzioni in spazi di Sobolev con peso.

     

Beyond Local Maximal Operators

We obtain (essentially sharp) boundedness results for certain generalized local maximal operators between fractional weighted Sobolev spaces and their modifications. Concrete boundedness results between well known fractional Sobolev spaces are derived as consequences of our main result. We also apply our boundedness results by studying both generalized neighbourhood capacities and the Lebesgue differentiation of fractional weighted Sobolev functions.     

A simple characterization of weighted Sobolev spaces with bounded multiplication operator

In this paper we give a simple characterization of weighted Sobolev spaces (with piecewise monotone weights) such that the multiplication operator is bounded: it is bounded if and only if the support of μ₀ is large enough. We also prove some basic properties of the appropriate weighted Sobolev spaces. To have bounded multiplication operator has important consequences in Approximation Theory: it implies the uniform bound of the zeros of the corresponding Sobolev orthogonal polynomials, and this fact allows to obtain the asymptotic behavior of Sobolev orthogonal polynomials.

Herz-type Sobolev and Bessel potential spaces and their applications

The Herz-type Sobolev spaces are introduced and the Sobolev theorem is established. The Herz-type Bessel potential spaces and the relation between the Herz-type Sobolev spaces and Bessel potential spaces are discussed. As applications of these theories, some regularity results of nonlinear quantities appearing in the compensated compactness theory on Herz-type Hardy spaces are given.

Ultracontractive bounds on Hamilton-Jacobi solutions

Following the equivalence between logarithmic Sobolev inequality, hypercontractivity of the heat semigroup showed by Gross and hypercontractivity of Hamilton-Jacobi equations, we prove, like the Varopoulos theorem, the equivalence between Euclidean-type Sobolev inequality and an ultracontractive control of the Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We obtain also ultracontractive estimations under general Sobolev inequality which imply in the particular case of a probability measure, transportation inequalities.
