Abstract:
If is an open set with the sufficiently regular boundary, then the Hardy inequality holds for and , where . The main result of the paper is a pointwise inequality , where on the right hand side there is a kind of maximal function. The pointwise inequality combined with the Hardy-Littlewood maximal theorem implies the Hardy inequality. This generalizes some recent results of Lewis and Wannebo.
