Linear interpolation inequalities that combine Hardy's inequality with sharp Sobolev embedding are obtained using classical arguments of Hardy and Littlewood (Bliss lemma). Such results are equivalent to Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities with sharp constants. A one-dimensional convolution inequality for the exponential density is derived as an application of these methods.
In this note we prove the reverse Stein-Weiss inequality on general homogeneous Lie groups. The obtained results extend previously known inequalities. Special properties of homogeneous norms and the reverse integral Hardy inequality play key roles in our proofs. Also, we show reverse Hardy, Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev, Lp-Sobolev and Lp-Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities on homogeneous groups.
In this paper we consider composition operators on Hardy-Sobolev spaces in connections with $BMO$-quasiconformal mappings. Using the duality of Hardy spaces and $BMO$-spaces we prove that $BMO$-quasiconformal mappings generate bounded composition operators from Hardy-Sobolev spaces to Sobolev spaces.
This is the first part of our research on certain sharp Hardy-Sobolev inequalities and the related elliptic equations. In this part we shall establish some sharp weighted Hardy-Sobolev inequalities whose weights are distance functions to the boundary.
On a compact Riemannian manifold, we prove the existence of multiple solutions for an elliptic equation with critical Sobolev growth and critical Hardy potential.
We investigate the existence of extremals for Hardy-Sobolev inequalities involving the Dirichlet fractional Laplacian of order s, 0<s<1, on half-spaces.
In this paper we establish several Hardy and Hardy-Sobolev type inequalities with homogeneous weights on the first orthant $\displaystyle \mathbb{R}_{*}^n:=\{(x_1, \ldots, x_n):x_1>0, \ldots, x_n>0 \}$. We then use some of them to produce Hardy type inequalities with remainder terms. Furthermore, we obtain some interpolation inequalities and Maz'ya type inequalities with remainder terms with the help of Maz'ya inequality and Sobolev inequality of Cabré and Ros-Orton on the upper half space $\mathbb{R}_{+}^n:=\{x=(x_1, \ldots, x_n)|\, x_n>0 \}$.
This paper studies the existence of extremal problems for the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities on compact manifolds without boundary via Concentration-Compactness principle.
We prove the attainability of the best constant in the fractional Hardy--Sobolev inequality with boundary singularity for the Spectral Dirichlet Laplacian. The main assumption is the average concavity of the boundary at the origin.

We prove an improved version of Poincaré-Hardy inequality in suitable subspaces of the Sobolev space on the hyperbolic space via Bessel pairs. As a consequence, we obtain a new Hardy type inequality with an improved constant (than the usual Hardy constant). Furthermore, we derive a new kind of improved Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality on the hyperbolic space.
We study linear and non-linear equations related to the fractional Hardy--Sobolev inequality. We prove nondegeneracy of ground state solutions to the basic equation and investigate existence and qualitative properties, including symmetry of solutions to some perturbed equations.
We consider the second best constant in the Hardy-Sobolev inequality on a Riemannian manifold. More precisely, we are interested with the existence of extremal functions for this inequality. This problem was tackled by Djadli-Druet [5] for Sobolev inequalities. Here, we establish the corresponding result for the singular case. In addition, we perform a blow-up analysis of solutions Hardy-Sobolev equations of minimizing type. This yields informations on the value of the second best constant in the related Riemannian functional inequality.
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.
This paper is devoted to a new family of reverse Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities which involve a power law kernel with positive exponent. We investigate the range of the admissible parameters and characterize the optimal functions. A striking open question is the possibility of concentration which is analyzed and related with nonlinear diffusion equations involving mean field drifts.
The general stability problem of truncations for a family of functions concentrating mass at the origin is described and a concrete example in the framework of entire optimizers for the fractional Hardy-Sobolev inequality is given. In this short note we point out some quantitative stability estimates, useful in dealing with critical $p-q$ fractional equations.
We study the Hardy inequality when the singularity is placed on the boundary of a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ that satisfies both an interior and exterior ball condition at the singularity. We obtain the sharp Hardy constant $n^2/4$ in case the exterior ball is large enough and show the necessity of the large exterior ball condition. We improve Hardy inequality with the best constant by adding a sharp Sobolev term. We next produce criteria that lead to characterizing maximal potentials that improve Hardy inequality. Breaking the criteria one produces successive improvements with sharp con…
The paper deals with existence and multiplicity of positive solutions to nonlocal equations with critical Hrardy-Sobolev nonlinearities and external terms. We establish the profile decomposition of the Palais-Smale sequences associated with the functional and existence of at least two positive solutions to the equation.
On a compact Riemannian manifold, we study a singular elliptic equation with critical Sobolev exponent and critical Hardy potential. In a first part, we prove an $H^2_1$ type decomposition result for Palais-Smale sequences of the associated energy functional. In a second part, we apply the decomposition result to obtain solutions of different energy levels.
This paper is devoted to logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities in the two-dimensional Euclidean space, in presence of an external potential with logarithmic growth. The coupling with the potential introduces a new parameter, with two regimes. The attractive regime reflects the standard logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality. The second regime corresponds to a reverse inequality, with the opposite sign in the convolution term, that allows us to bound the free energy of a drift-diffusion-Poisson system from below. Our method is based on an extension of an entropy method prop…
We consider the two-dimensional eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian with the Neumann boundary condition involving the critical Hardy potential. We prove the existence of the second eigenfunction and study its asymptotic behavior around the origin. A key tool is the Sobolev type inequality with a logarithmic weight, which is shown in this paper as an application of the weighted nonlinear potential theory.
We will present versions of the Rellich-Kondrachov theorem for pseudo-differential operators acting on localizable Hardy spaces. One of the techniques includes boundedness properties for pseudodifferential operators with symbols in the Hörmander class, that might be of interest in his own right, extending results previously obtained by Goldberg, Alvarez and Hounie, Taylor - among others. As application, we obtain compact embedding results for distributions in nonhomogeneous localizable Hardy-Sobolev spaces.
This paper is devoted to a new family of reverse Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities which involve a power law kernel with positive exponent. We investigate the range of the admissible parameters and the properties of the optimal functions. A striking open question is the possibility of concentration which is analyzed and related with free energy functionals and nonlinear diffusion equations involving mean field drifts.
In this paper we study Hardy-Sobolev inequalities on hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, all of them involving a mean curvature term and having universal constants independent of the hypersurface. We first consider the celebrated Sobolev inequality of Michael-Simon and Allard, in our codimension one framework. Using their ideas, but simplifying their presentations, we give a quick and easy-to-read proof of the inequality. Next, we establish two new Hardy inequalities on hypersurfaces. One of them originates from an application to the regularity theory of stable solutions to semilinear ellipti…
This note is devoted to several inequalities deduced from a special form of the logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev, which is well adapted to the characterization of stationary solutions of a Keller-Segel system written in self-similar variables, in case of a subcritical mass. For the corresponding evolution problem, such functional inequalities play an important role for identifying the rate of convergence of the solutions towards the stationary solution with same mass.
We consider the fractional Laplacian with Hardy potential and study the scale of homogeneous $L^p$ Sobolev spaces generated by this operator. Besides generalized and reversed Hardy inequalities, the analysis relies on a Hörmander multiplier theorem which is crucial to construct a basic Littlewood--Paley theory. The results extend those obtained recently in $L^2$ but do not cover negative coupling constants in general due to the slow decay of the associated heat kernel.
