Abstract:
Let \(\Omega \) be a smooth bounded domain in \(\mathbb R ^N\) with \(N\ge 3\) and let \(\Sigma _k\) be a closed smooth submanifold of \(\partial \Omega \) of dimension \(1\le k\le N-2\). In this paper we study the weighted Hardy inequality with weight function singular on \(\Sigma _k\). In particular we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of minimizers.
