The shape of extremal functions for Poincaré-Sobolev-type inequalities in a ball

We study extremal functions for a family of Poincaré-Sobolev-type inequalities. These functions minimize, for subcritical or critical p?2, the quotient ‖∇u_‖2/‖up_‖ among all u∈H¹(B)?{0} with B_∫u=0. Here B is the unit ball in RN. We show that the minimizers are axially symmetric with respect to a line passing through the origin. We also show that they are strictly monotone in the direction of this line. In particular, they take their maximum and minimum precisely at two antipodal points on the boundary of B. We also prove that, for p close to 2, minimizers are antisymmetric with respect to the hyperplane through the origin perpendicular to the symmetry axis, and that, once the symmetry axis is fixed, they are unique (up to multiplication by a constant). In space dimension two, we prove that minimizers are not antisymmetric for large p.     

On the first eigenfunction of a perturbed Hardy-Sobolev operator

In this paper we study the existence, nonexistence and simplicity of the first eigenvalue of the Hardy-Sobolev operator under various assumptions on q. We will also analyse the singularity present in the first eigenfunction when with 0<s<1.     

The best constant of Sobolev inequality on a bounded interval

The best constants Cm,j of Sobolev embedding of Hm(0,a) into Cj[0,a](0?j?m−1) are obtained. Especially, when a=∞, these constants can be represented in a closed form.     

The sharp quantitative Sobolev inequality for functions of bounded variation

The classical Sobolev embedding theorem of the space of functions of bounded variation BV(Rn) into Ln^′(Rn) is proved in a sharp quantitative form.     

Abstract Hardy-Sobolev spaces and interpolation

The purpose of this work is to describe an abstract theory of Hardy-Sobolev spaces on doubling Riemannian manifolds via an atomic decomposition. We study the real interpolation of these spaces with Sobolev spaces and finally give applications to Riesz inequalities.     

Lipschitz constants and logarithmic Sobolev inequality

We revisit two results of  [3]; they are a logarithmic Sobolev inequality on Rⁿ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ with Lipschitz constants and an expression of Lipschitz constants as the limit of a functional by the entropy. We have two goals in this paper. The first goal is to clarify when the strict inequality holds in this inequality. The second goal is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of this functional by the Abelian and Tauberian theorems of Laplace transforms.     

A logarithmic Hardy inequality

We prove a new inequality which improves on the classical Hardy inequality in the sense that a nonlinear integral quantity with super-quadratic growth, which is computed with respect to an inverse square weight, is controlled by the energy. This inequality differs from standard logarithmic Sobolev inequalities in the sense that the measure is neither Lebesgue's measure nor a probability measure. All terms are scale invariant. After an Emden-Fowler transformation, the inequality can be rewritten as an optimal inequality of logarithmic Sobolev type on the cylinder. Explicit expressions of the sharp constant, as well as minimizers, are established in the radial case. However, when no symmetry is imposed, the sharp constants are not achieved by radial functions, in some range of the parameters.     

Best constants for Sobolev inequalities for higher order fractional derivatives

We obtain sharp constants for Sobolev inequalities for higher order fractional derivatives. As an application, we give a new proof of a theorem of W. Beckner concerning conformally invariant higher-order differential operators on the sphere.     

On extremal points of quasiconvex functions

In this paper we examine the linear sectionwise relative minimums of a quasiconvex function and give a sufficient condition for quasiconvex functions to have a strict global minimum on an open convex set.     

On the existence of an extremal function in critical Sobolev trace embedding theorem

Sufficient conditions for the existence of extremal functions in the trace Sobolev inequality and the trace Sobolev-Poincaré inequality are established. It is shown that some of these conditions are sharp.     

Hadamard type inequality for quasiconvex functions in higher dimensions

In this article we study a Hadamard type inequality for nonnegative evenly quasiconvex functions. The approach of our study is based on the notion of abstract convexity. We also provide an explicit calculation to evaluate the asymptotically sharp constant associated with the inequality over a unit square in the two-dimensional plane.     

An optimal logarithmic Sobolev inequality with Lipschitz constants

In this paper, we give an optimal logarithmic Sobolev inequality on Rn with Lipschitz constants. This inequality is a limit case of the Lp-logarithmic Sobolev inequality of Gentil (2003) [7] as p→∞. As a result of our inequality, we show that if a Lipschitz continuous function f on Rn fulfills some condition, then its Lipschitz constant can be expressed by using the entropy of f. We also show that a hypercontractivity of exponential type occurs in the heat equation on Rn. This is due to the Lipschitz regularizing effect of the heat equation.     

Existence of solutions of the parabolic variational inequality with variable exponent of nonlinearity

In this article, new properties of variable exponent Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces are examined. Using these properties we prove the existence of the solution of some parabolic variational inequality.     

The general optimal L-Euclidean logarithmic Sobolev inequality by Hamilton-Jacobi equations

We prove a general optimal L^p-Euclidean logarithmic Sobolev inequality by using Prékopa-Leindler inequality and a special Hamilton-Jacobi equation. In particular we generalize the inequality proved by Del Pino and Dolbeault in (J. Funt. Anal.).     

Logarithmic Sobolev inequality for symmetric forms

Some estimates of logarithmic Sobolev constant for general symmetric forms are obtained in terms of new Cheeger’s constants. The estimates can be sharp in some sense.     

On the Jensen-Steffensen inequality for generalized convex functions

Jensen-Steffensen type inequalities for P-convex functions and functions with nondecreasing increments are presented. The obtained results are used to prove a generalization of ?eby?ev’s inequality and several variants of Hölder’s inequality with weights satisfying the conditions as in the Jensen-Steffensen inequality. A few well-known inequalities for quasi-arithmetic means are generalized.
