Sharp trace Gagliardo–Nirenberg–Sobolev inequalities for convex cones,and convex domains

We find a new sharp trace Gagliardo–Nirenberg–Sobolev inequality on convex cones, as well as a sharp weighted trace Sobolev inequality on epigraphs of convex functions. This is done by using a generalized Borell–Brascamp–Lieb inequality, coming from the Brunn–Minkowski theory.     

On Gagliardo–Nirenberg Type Inequalities

We present a Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality which bounds Lorentz norms of a function by Sobolev norms and homogeneous Besov quasinorms with negative smoothness. We prove also other versions involving Besov or Triebel–Lizorkin quasinorms. These inequalities can be considered as refinements of Sobolev type embeddings. They can also be applied to obtain Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities in some limiting cases. Our methods are based on estimates of rearrangements in terms of heat kernels. These methods enable us to cover also the case of Sobolev norms with \(p=1\) .     

Fractional Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities

We establish a full range of Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities and their variants for fractional Sobolev spaces.     

Note on Affine Gagliardo–Nirenberg Inequalities

This note proves sharp affine Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities which are stronger than all known sharp Euclidean Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities and imply the affine L ^p -Sobolev inequalities. The logarithmic version of affine L ^p -Sobolev inequalities is verified. Moreover, an alternative proof of the affine Moser–Trudinger and Morrey–Sobolev inequalities is given. The main tools are the equimeasurability of rearrangements and the strengthened version of the classical Pólya–Szegö principle.     

Sobolev Embedding Theorems and Generalizations for Functions on a Metric Measure Space

Considering the metric case, we define an analog of the Sobolev space of functions with generalized derivatives of order greater than 1. The space of functions with fractional generalized derivatives is also treated. We prove generalizations of the Sobolev embedding theorems and Gagliardo–Nirenberg interpolation inequalities to the metric case.     

Limit of fractional power Sobolev inequalities

We derive the Moser–Trudinger–Onofri inequalities on the 2-sphere and the 4-sphere as the limiting cases of the fractional power Sobolev inequalities on the same spaces, and justify our approach as the dimensional continuation argument initiated by Thomas P. Branson.     

Dual characterization of fractional capacity via solution of fractional p-Laplace equation

In terms of weak solutions of the fractional p-Laplace equation with measure data, this paper offers a dual characterization for the fractional Sobolev capacity on bounded domain. In addition, two further results are given: one is an equivalent estimate for the fractional Sobolev capacity; the other is the removability of sets of zero capacity and its relation to solutions of the fractional p-Laplace equation.     

Weak logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and entropic convergence

In this paper we introduce and study a weakened form of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities in connection with various others functional inequalities (weak Poincaré inequalities, general Beckner inequalities, etc.). We also discuss the quantitative behaviour of relative entropy along a symmetric diffusion semi-group. In particular, we exhibit an example where Poincaré inequality can not be used for deriving entropic convergence whence weak logarithmic Sobolev inequality ensures the result.      

On the Discrete Poincaré–Friedrichs Inequalities for Nonconforming Approximations of the Sobolev Space H 1

We present a direct proof of the discrete Poincaré–Friedrichs inequalities for a class of nonconforming approximations of the Sobolev space H ¹(Ω), indicate optimal values of the constants in these inequalities, and extend the discrete Friedrichs inequality onto domains only bounded in one direction. We consider a polygonal domain Ω in two or three space dimensions and its shape-regular simplicial triangulation. The nonconforming approximations of H ¹(Ω) consist of functions from H ¹ on each element such that the mean values of their traces on interelement boundaries coincide. The key idea is to extend the proof of the discrete Poincaré–Friedrichs inequalities for piecewise constant functions used in the finite volume method. The results have applications in the analysis of nonconforming numerical methods, such as nonconforming finite element or discontinuous Galerkin methods.     

Refined inequalities on graded Lie groups

We construct a Littlewood–Paley decomposition associated to a Rockland operator on graded Lie groups, which allows us to deduce refined Gagliardo–Nirenberg, Sobolev and 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.     

Fractional Sobolev-type inequalities

Here we present univariate Sobolev-type fractional inequalities involving fractional derivatives of Canavati, Riemann–Liouville and Caputo types. The results are general L _p inequalities forward and converse on a closed interval. We give an application to a fractional ODE. We present also the mean Sobolev-type fractional inequalities.     

Global solutions of the non‐linear problem describing Joule's heating in three space dimensions

The existence of global‐in‐time weak solutions to the Joule problem modelling heating or cooling in a current and heat conductive medium is proved via the Faedo–Galerkin method. The existence proof entails some a priori estimates that together with the monotonicity and compactness methods make up a main tool to prove the desired result. Under appropriate hypotheses on the data, it will be shown the boundedness in L_∞(Q_T) of the absolute temperature of the medium and of the t‐derivative of this temperature, which is achieved by means of the Gagliardo–Nirenberg theorem, the Sobolev embedding theorem and the method of Stampacchia. The paper is some extension of our investigation initiated in (Math. Meth. Appl. Sci. 1998; 23 :1275–1291). This extension includes relaxing some assumptions in (Math. Meth. Appl. Sci. 1998; 23 :1275–1291) and employing some new methods to establish the result. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Convergence and superconvergence analysis for nonlinear delay reaction–diffusion system with nonconforming finite element

In this article, we propose and analyze several numerical methods for the nonlinear delay reaction–diffusion system with smooth and nonsmooth solutions, by using Quasi-Wilson nonconforming finite element methods in space and finite difference methods (including uniform and nonuniform L1 and L2-1_σ schemes) in time. The optimal convergence results in the senses of L²-norm and broken H¹-norm, and H¹-norm superclose results are derived by virtue of two types of fractional Grönwall inequalities. Then, the interpolation postprocessing technique is used to establish the superconvergence results. Moreover, to improve computational efficiency, fast algorithms by using sum-of-exponential technique are built for above proposed numerical schemes. Finally, we present some numerical experiments to confirm the theoretical correctness and show the effectiveness of the fast algorithms.     

Variational Formulas of Poincaré-Type Inequalities in Banach Spaces of Functions on the Line

Motivated from the study of logarithmic Sobolev, Nash and other functional inequalities, the variational formulas for Poincaré inequalities are extended to a large class of Banach (Orlicz) spaces of functions on the line. Explicit criteria for the inequalities to hold and explicit estimates for the optimal constants in the inequalities are presented. As a typical application, the logarithmic Sobolev constant is carefully examinated. Received December 13, 2001, Accepted March 26, 2002

Large time behavior and convergence for the Camassa–Holm equations with fractional Laplacian viscosity

In this paper, we consider the n-dimensional (\(n=2,3\)) Camassa–Holm equations with fractional Laplacian viscosity in the whole space. In contrast to the Camassa–Holm equations without any nonlocal effect, much less has been known on the large time behavior and convergences of solutions. Here we study first the large time behavior of solutions, then consider the relation between the equations under consideration and the imcompressible Navier–Stokes equations with fractional Laplacian viscosity (INSF). By applying the fractional Leibniz chain rule and the fractional Gagliardo–Nirenberg–Sobolev type estimates, the high and low frequency splitting method and the Fourier splitting method, we shall establish the large time non-uniform decays and algebraic rate decays of solutions. In the critical case \(s=\dfrac{n}{4}\), the nonlocal version of Ladyzhenskaya’s inequality along with the smallness of initial data in suitable Sobolev spaces is needed. In addition, by estimates for the fractional heat kernels, we prove that the solutions to the Camassa–Holm equations with nonlocal viscosity converge strongly as the filter parameter \(\alpha \rightarrow ~0\) to solutions of the equations INSF.     

Cell polarisation model: The 1D case

We study the dynamics of a one-dimensional non-linear and non-local drift-diffusion equation set in the half-line, with the coupling involving the trace value on the boundary. The initial mass M of the density determines the behaviour of the equation: attraction to self-similar profile, to a steady state of finite time, blow-up for supercritical mass. Using the logarithmic Sobolev and the HWI inequalities we obtain a rate of convergence for the sub-critical and critical mass cases. Moreover, we prove a comparison principle on the equation obtained after space integration. This concentration-comparison principle allows proving blow-up of solutions for large initial data without any monotonicity assumption on the initial data.     

Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev and Stein–Weiss inequalities on homogeneous Lie groups

In this note, we prove the Stein–Weiss inequality on general homogeneous Lie groups. The obtained results extend previously known inequalities. Special properties of homogeneous norms play a key role in our proofs. Also, we give a simple proof of the Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev inequality on general homogeneous Lie groups.     

Maximizers for Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities and related non-local problems

In this paper we study the existence of maximizers for two families of interpolation inequalities, namely a generalized Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality and a new inequality involving the Riesz energy. Two basic tools in our argument are a generalization of Lieb’s Translation Lemma and a Riesz energy version of the Brézis–Lieb lemma.
