Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequality on metric measure spaces with applications

We prove that if a metric measure space satisfies the volume doubling condition and the Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequality with the same exponent $n \ge 3$ , then it has exactly the $n$ -dimensional volume growth. As an application, if an $n$ -dimensional Finsler manifold of non-negative $n$ -Ricci curvature satisfies the Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequality with the sharp constant, then its flag curvature is identically zero. In the particular case of Berwald spaces, such a space is necessarily isometric to a Minkowski space.     

A Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg type inequality on Riemannian manifolds

We establish a generalization to Riemannian manifolds of the Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequality. The applied method is based on the use of conformal Killing vector fields and E. Mitidieri’s approach to Hardy inequalities.     

Several logarithmic Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities and applications

In this paper, based on the Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities on the Euclidean space and the weighted Hölder inequality, we establish the logarithmic Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities and parameter type logarithmic Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities, and give applications for the weighted ultracontractivity of positive strong solutions to a kind of evolution equations. We also prove corresponding logarithmic Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities and parameter type logarithmic Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities on the Heisenberg group and related to generalized Baouendi–Grushin vector fields. Some applications are provided.

Interpolation operators in Orlicz–Sobolev spaces

We study classical interpolation operators for finite elements, like the Scott–Zhang operator, in the context of Orlicz–Sobolev spaces. Furthermore, we show estimates for these operators with respect to quasi-norms which appear in the study of systems of p-Laplace type.     

Quasiconvex variational functionals in Orlicz–Sobolev spaces

We prove a C ^1,α partial regularity result for minimizers of variational integrals of the type $$ J[u]:=\int\limits_\Omega f(\nabla u){\rm d}x, \, \, u:\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^N, $$ where the integrand f is strictly quasiconvex and satisfies suitable growth conditions in terms of Young functions.     

Nonhomogeneous multiparameter problems in Orlicz–Sobolev spaces

This paper is concerned with the existence and multiplicity of solutions for a class of problems involving the Φ-Laplacian operator with general assumptions on the nonlinearities, which include both semipositone cases and critical concave convex problems. The research is based on the subsupersolution technique combined with a truncation argument and an application of the Mountain Pass Theorem. The results in this paper improve and complement some recent contributions to this field.

Uniform nonsquareness and locally uniform nonsquareness in Orlicz–Bochner function spaces and applications

In this paper, criteria for uniform nonsquareness and locally uniform nonsquareness of Orlicz–Bochner function spaces equipped with the Orlicz norm are given. Although, criteria for uniform nonsquareness and locally uniform nonsquareness in Orlicz function spaces were known, we can easily deduce them from our main results. Moreover, we give a sufficient condition for an Orlicz–Bochner function space to have the fixed point property.     

Multiple solutions for a nonlocal problem in Orlicz–Sobolev spaces
