In this paper, we study the sharp Poincaré inequality and the Sobolev inequalities in the higher order Lorentz--Sobolev spaces in the hyperbolic spaces. These results generalize the ones obtained in \cite{Nguyen2020a} to the higher order derivatives and seem to be new in the context of the Lorentz--Sobolev spaces defined in the hyperbolic spaces.
We extend the classical Hardy-Sobolev-Poincare-Wirtinger inequalities from the ordinary Lebesgue-Riesz spaces into the Grand Lebesgue ones, with exact constants evaluation.
We use the characterization of weak type inequalities via Garsia-Rodemich conditions to show self improving properties of Poincaré-Sobolev inequalities in a very general context.
Given a nondegenerate harmonic structure, we prove a Poincaré-type inequality for functions in the domain of the Dirichlet form on nested fractals. We then study the Hajlasz-Sobolev spaces on nested fractals. In particular, we describe how the "weak"-type gradient on nested fractals relates to the upper gradient defined in the context of general metric spaces.
We consider integral inequalities in the sense of Choquet with respect to the Hausdorff content $\mathcal{H}_\infty^δ$. In particular, if $Ω$ is a bounded John domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, and $0 <δ\le n$, we prove that the corresponding $(δp/(δ-p),p)$-Poincaré-Sobolev inequalities hold for all continuously differentiable functions defined on $Ω$ whenever $δ/n < p < δ$. We prove also that the $(p,p)$-Poincaré inequality is valid for all $p>δ/n$.
We prove the existence of minimizers for some constrained variational problems on $BV(Ω)$, under subcritical and critical restrictions, involving the affine energy introduced by Zhang in \cite{Z}. Related functionals have non-coercive geometry and properties like semicontinuity and affine compactness are deeper in the weak* topology. As a by-product of the theory, extremal functions are shown to exist for various affine Poincaré-Sobolev type inequalities.
We study compactness and boundedness of embeddings from Sobolev type spaces on metric spaces into $L^q$ spaces with respect to another measure. The considered Sobolev spaces can be of fractional order and some statements allow also nondoubling measures. Our results are formulated in a general form, using sequences of covering families and local Poincaré type inequalities. We show how to construct such suitable coverings and Poincaré inequalities. For locally doubling measures, we prove a self-improvement property for two-weighted Poincaré inequalities, which applies also to lower-dimensional m…
Let $d$ be a metric on $R^n$ and let $C^{m,(d)}(R^n)$ be the space of $C^m$-function on $R^n$ whose partial derivatives of order $m$ belong to the space $Lip(R^n;d)$. We show that the homogeneous Sobolev space $L^{m+1}_p(R^n),p>n,$ can be represented as a union of $C^{m,(d)}(R^n)$-spaces where $d$ belongs to a family of metrics on $R^n$ with certain "nice" properties. This enables us in several important cases to give intrinsic characterizations of the restrictions of Sobolev spaces to arbitrary closed subsets of $R^n$. In particular, we generalize the classical Whitney extension theorem for t…
We define Euler-Hilbert-Sobolev spaces and obtain embedding results on homogeneous groups using Euler operators, which are homogeneous differential operators of order zero. Sharp remainder terms of $L^{p}$ and weighted Sobolev type and Sobolev-Rellich inequalities on homogeneous groups are given. Most inequalities are obtained with best constants. As consequences, we obtain analogues of the generalised classical Sobolev type and Sobolev-Rellich inequalities. We also discuss applications of logarithmic Hardy inequalities to Sobolev-Lorentz-Zygmund spaces. The obtained results are new already in…
In this paper we investigate Poincaré-type integral inequalities in the functional Musielak structure. We extend the ones already well known in Sobolev, Orlicz and variable exponent Sobolev spaces. We introduce conditions on the Musielak functions under which they hold. The identification with null trace functions space is given.
Poincar{é} and Sobolev inequalities for differential forms on Heisenberg balls, involving Rumin's differentials, are given. Furthermore, a global homotopy of Rumin's complex which improves differentiability of Rumin forms is provided on any bounded geometry contact manifold.
If Poincar{é} inequality has been studied by Bobkov for radial measures, few is known about the logarithmic Sobolev inequalty in the radial case. We try to fill this gap here using different methods: Bobkov's argument and super-Poincar{é} inequalities, direct approach via L1-logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. We also give various examples where the obtained bounds are quite sharp. Recent bounds obtained by Lee-Vempala in the logconcave bounded case are refined for radial measures.
We establish a family of functional inequalities interpolating between the classical logarithmic Sobolev and Poincaré inequalities. We prove that they imply the concentration of measure phenomenon intermediate between Gaussian and exponential. Our bounds are close to optimal.
In a previous paper we developed a new method to obtain symmetrization inequalities of Sobolev type for functions in $W_{0}^{1,1}(Ω)$. In this paper we extend our method to Sobolev functions that do not vanish at the boundary.
In this note, we establish a $L^p-$version of the Poincaré--Sobolev inequalities in the hyperbolic spaces $\mathbb H^n$. The interest of this result is that it relates both the Poincaré (or Hardy) inequality and the Sobolev inequality with the sharp constant in $\mathbb H^n$. Our approach is based on the comparison of the $L^p-$norm of gradient of the symmetric decreasing rearrangement of a function in both the hyperbolic space and the Euclidean space, and the sharp Sobolev inequalities in Euclidean spaces. This approach also gives the proof of the Poincaré--Gagliardo--Nirenberg and Poincaré--…
The study of Sobolev inequalities can be divided in two cases: p = 1 and 1 < p < +$\infty$. In the case p = 1 we study here a relaxed version of refined Sobolev inequalities. When p > 1, using as base space classical Lorentz spaces associated to a weight from the Arino-Muckenhoupt class Bp, we will study Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities. As a by-product we will also consider Morrey-Sobolev inequalities. These arguments can be generalized to many different frameworks, in particular the proofs are given in the setting of stratified Lie groups.
Poincaré-Sobolev-type inequalities involving rearrangement-invariant norms on the entire $\mathbb{R}^n$ are provided. Namely, inequalities of the type $\|u-P\|_{Y(\mathbb{R}^n)}\leq C\|\nabla^m u\|_{X(\mathbb{R}^n)}$, where $X$ and $Y$ are either rearrangement-invariant spaces over $\mathbb{R}^n$ or Orlicz spaces over $\mathbb{R}^n$, $u$ is a $m-$times weakly differentiable function whose gradient is in $X$, $P$ is a polynomial of order at most $m-1$, depending on $u$, and $C$ is a constant independent of $u$, are studied. In a sense optimal rearrangement-invariant spaces or Orlicz spaces $Y$ …
Let $W^1L^{p,q}(\mathbb H^n)$, $1\leq q,p < \infty$ denote the Lorentz-Sobolev spaces of order one in the hyperbolic spaces $\mathbb H^n$. Our aim in this paper is three-fold. First of all, we establish a sharp Poincaré inequality in $W^1L^{p,q}(\mathbb H^n)$ with $1\leq q \leq p$ which generalizes the result in \cite{NgoNguyenAMV} to the setting of Lorentz-Sobolev spaces. Second, we prove several sharp Poincaré-Sobolev type inequalities in $W^1L^{p,q}(\mathbb H^n)$ with $1\leq q \leq p < n$ which generalize the results in \cite{NguyenPS2018} to the setting of Lorentz-Sobolev spaces. Finally, …
By using quasi-Banach techniques as key ingredient we prove Poincaré- and Sobolev- type inequalities for $m$-subharmonic functions with finite $(p,m)$-energy. A consequence of the Sobolev type inequality is a partial confirmation of Błocki's integrability conjecture for $m$-subharmonic functions.
We provide sufficient conditions for boundary Hardy inequality to hold in bounded Lipschitz domains, complement of a point (the so-called point Hardy inequality), domain above the graph of a Lipschitz function, the complement of a bounded Lipschitz domain in fractional Orlicz-Sobolev setting. As a consequence, we get sufficient conditions for regional fractional Orlicz Poincaré inequality in bounded Lipschitz domains. Necessary conditions for fractional Orlicz Hardy and regional fractional Orlicz Poincaré inequalities are also given for bounded Lipschitz domains. Various sufficient conditions …
We show that fractional (p,p)-Poincaré inequalities and even fractional Sobolev-Poincaré inequalities hold for bounded John domains, and especially for bounded Lipschitz domains. We also prove sharp fractional (1,p)-Poincaré inequalities for s-John domains.
In this paper we prove that several natural approaches to Sobolev spaces coincide on the Vicsek fractal. More precisely, we show that the metric approach of Korevaar-Schoen, the approach by limit of discrete $p$-energies and the approach by limit of Sobolev spaces on cable systems all yield the same functional space with equivalent norms for $p>1$. As a consequence we prove that the Sobolev spaces form a real interpolation scale. We also obtain $L^p$-Poincaré inequalities for all values of $p \ge 1$.
We introduce a class of weak solutions to the quasilinear equation $-Δ_p u = σ|u|^{p-2}u$ in an open set $Ω\subset\mathbf{R}^n$. Here $p>1$, and $Δ_p u$ is the $p$-Laplacian operator. Our notion of solution is tailored to general distributional coefficients $σ$ satisfying a certain weighted Sobolev-Poincare inequality. We also study weak solutions of the closely related equation $-Δ_p v = (p-1)|\nabla v|^p + σ$, under the same conditions on $σ$. Our results for this latter equation will allow us to characterize the class of distributions $σ$ which satisfy the Sobolev-Poincare inequality, there…
We establish several Poincaré--Sobolev type inequalities for the Lapalce--Beltrami operator $Δ_g$ in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^n$ with $n\geq 5$. These inequalities could be seen as the improved second order Poincaré inequality with remainder terms involving with the sharp Rellich inequality or sharp Sobolev inequality in $\mathbb H^n$. The novelty of these inequalities is that it combines both the sharp Poincaré inequality and the sharp Rellich inequality or the sharp Sobolev inequality for $Δ_g$ in $\mathbb H^n$. As a consequence, we obtain the Poincaré--Sobolev inequality for the seco…
We study functional inequalities for Markov chains on discrete spaces with entropic Ricci curvature bounded from below. Our main results are that when curvature is non-negative, but not necessarily positive, the spectral gap, the Cheeger isoperimetric constant and the modified logarithmic Sobolev constant of the chain can be bounded from below by a constant that only depends on the diameter of the space, with respect to a suitable metric. These estimates are discrete analogues of classical results of Riemannian geometry obtained by Li and Yau, Buser and Wang.

By adapting some ideas of M. Ledoux \cite{ledoux2}, \cite{ledoux-stflour} and \cite{Led} to a sub-Riemannian framework we study Sobolev, Poincaré and isoperimetric inequalities associated to subelliptic diffusion operators that satisfy the generalized curvature dimension inequality that was introduced by F. Baudoin and N. Garofalo in \cite{Bau2}. Our results apply in particular on all CR Sasakian manifolds whose horizontal Webster-Tanaka-Ricci curvature is non negative, all Carnot groups with step two, and wide subclasses of principal bundles over Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci curvature is …
Contains a further development of the V.G. Maz'ya concept of polynomial capacities.A different different approach is given together with new results. The primary application is for Hardy inequalities. This is treated in a later report. Here is given an application which consists of a reformulation of the Spectral synthesis question in terms of polynomial capacities. However so far this does not give a new proof, though a similar but different question for the nonnegative cone in Sobobolev space of order 2 is resolved.
Let $2\leq m < n$ and $q \in (1,\infty)$, we denote by $W^mL^{\frac nm,q}(\mathbb H^n)$ the Lorentz-Sobolev space of order $m$ in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^n$. In this paper, we establish the following Adams inequality in the Lorentz-Sobolev space $W^m L^{\frac nm,q}(\mathbb H^n)$ \[ \sup_{u\in W^mL^{\frac nm,q}(\mathbb H^n),\, \|\nabla_g^m u\|_{\frac nm,q}\leq 1} \int_{\mathbb H^n} Φ_{\frac nm,q}\big(β_{n,m}^{\frac q{q-1}} |u|^{\frac q{q-1}}\big) dV_g < \infty \] for $q \in (1,\infty)$ if $m$ is even, and $q \in (1,n/m)$ if $m$ is odd, where $β_{n,m}^{q/(q-1)}$ is the sharp exponent in …
In this article we give a straightforward proof of refined inequalities between Lorentz spaces and Besov spaces and we generalize previous results of H. Bahouri and A. Cohen. Our approach is based in the characterization of Lorentz spaces as real interpolation spaces. We will also study the sharpness and optimality of these inequalities.
We present a class of modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality, interpolating between Poincaré and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, suitable for measures of the type $\exp(-|x|^\al)$ or more complex $\exp(-|x|^\al\log^β(2+|x|))$ ($\al\in]1,2[$ and $\be\in\dR$) which lead to new concentration inequalities. These modified inequalities share common properties with usual logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, as tensorisation or perturbation, and imply as well Poincaré inequality. We also study the link between these new modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and transportation inequalities.
We investigate the validity, as well as the failure, of Sobolev-type inequalities on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds under suitable bounds on the sectional and the Ricci curvatures. We prove that if the sectional curvatures are bounded from above by a negative power of the distance from a fixed pole (times a negative constant), then all the $ L^p $ inequalities that interpolate between Poincaré and Sobolev hold for radial functions provided the power lies in the interval $ (-2,0) $. The Poincaré inequality was established by H.P. McKean under a constant negative bound from above on the sectional cur…
Interpolation inequalities in Triebel-Lizorkin-Lorentz spaces and Besov-Lorentz spaces are studied for both inhomogeneous and homogeneous cases. First we establish interpolation inequalities under quite general assumptions on the parameters of the function spaces. Several results on necessary conditions are also provided. Next, utilizing the interpolation inequalities together with some embedding results, we prove Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities for fractional derivatives in Lorentz spaces, which do hold even for the limiting case when one of the parameters is equal to 1 or $\infty$.
We introduce the concept of Gaussian integral isoperimetric transference and show how it can be applied to obtain a new class of sharp Sobolev-Poincaré inequalities with constants independent of the dimension. In the special case of $L^{q}$ spaces on the unit $n-$dimensional cube our results extend the recent inequalities that were obtained in \cite{FKS} using extrapolation.
In this paper, we establish several new anisotropic Hardy-Sobolev inequalities in mixed Lebesgue spaces and mixed Lorentz spaces, which covers many known corresponding results. As an application, this type of inequalities allows us to generalize some regularity criteria of the 3D axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations.
The purpose of this paper is to characterize all embeddings for versions of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces where the underlying Lebesgue space metric is replaced by a Lorentz space metric. We include two appendices, one on the relation between classes of endpoint Mikhlin-Hörmander type Fourier multipliers, and one on the constant in the triangle inequality for the spaces $L^{p,r} $ when $p<1$.
In the cases where there is no Sobolev-type or Gagliardo-Nirenberg-type fractional estimate involving $\lvert u\rvert_{W^{s,p}}$, we establish alternative estimates where the strong $L^p$ norms are replaced by Lorentz norms.
We prove a scale of generalized $L^p$-Poincaré inequalities and Sobolev type inequalities on graphs with polynomial volume growth. They are optimal on Vicsek graphs.
This note, mostly expository, is devoted to Poincar{é} and log-Sobolev inequalities for a class of Boltzmann-Gibbs measures with singular interaction. Such measures allow to model one-dimensional particles with confinement and singular pair interaction. The functional inequalities come from convexity. We prove and characterize optimality in the case of quadratic confinement via a factorization of the measure. This optimality phenomenon holds for all beta Hermite ensembles including the Gaussian unitary ensemble, a famous exactly solvable model of random matrix theory. We further explore exact …
Given a probability measure $μ$ supported on a convex subset $Ω$ of Euclidean space $(\mathbb{R}^d,g_0)$, we are interested in obtaining Poincaré and log-Sobolev type inequalities on $(Ω,g_0,μ)$. To this end, we change the metric $g_0$ to a more general Riemannian one $g$, adapted in a certain sense to $μ$, and perform our analysis on $(Ω,g,μ)$. The types of metrics we consider are Hessian metrics (intimately related to associated optimal-transport problems), product metrics (which are very useful when $μ$ is unconditional, i.e. invariant under reflection with respect to the principle hyperpla…
The purpose of this article is twofold. The first is to strengthen fractional Sobolev type inequalities in Besov spaces via the classical Lorentz space. In doing so, we show that the Sobolev inequality in Besov spaces is equivalent to the fractional Hardy inequality and the iso-capacitary type inequality. Secondly, we will strengthen fractional Sobolev type inequalities in Besov spaces via capacitary Lorentz spaces associated with Besov capacities. For this purpose, we first study the embedding of the associated capacitary Lorentz space to the classical Lorentz space. Then, the embedding of th…
In complete metric measure spaces equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a weak Poincaré inequality, we investigate when a given Banach-valued Sobolev function defined on a subset satisfying a measure-density condition is the restriction of a Banach-valued Sobolev function defined on the whole space. We investigate the problem for Hajłasz- and Newton-Sobolev spaces, respectively. First, we show that Hajłasz-Sobolev extendability is independent of the target Banach spaces. We also show that every $c_0$-valued Newton-Sobolev extension set is a Banach-valued Newton-Sobolev extension set …
This paper deals with a notion of Sobolev space $W^{1,p}$ introduced by J.Bourgain, H.Brezis and P.Mironescu by means of a seminorm involving local averages of finite differences. This seminorm was subsequently used by A.Ponce to obtain a Poincaré-type inequality. The main results that we present are a generalization of these two works to a non-Euclidean setting, namely that of Carnot groups. We show that the seminorm expressd in terms of the intrinsic distance is equivalent to the $L^p$ norm of the intrinsic gradient, and provide a Poincaré-type inequality on Carnot groups by means of a const…
