Abstract:
We exhibit the optimal constant for Sobolev inequalities in Lorentz spaces for a mean oscillation, and its relation with a boundedness of the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator in Sobolev spaces. Some applications to a scale invariant form of Hardy?s inequality in a limiting case are also considered.
