We characterize a four-weight inequality involving the Hardy operator and the Copson operator. More precisely, given $p_1, p_2, q_1, q_2 \in (0, \infty)$, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on nonnegative measurable functions $u_1, u_2, v_1, v_2$ on $(0,\infty)$ for which there exists a positive constant $c$ such that the inequality \begin{align*} &\bigg(\int_0^{\infty} \bigg(\int_0^t f(s)^{p_2} v_2(s)^{p_2} ds \bigg)^{\frac{q_2}{p_2}} u_2(t)^{q_2} dt \bigg)^{\frac{1}{q_2}} \notag \\ & \hspace{3cm} \leq c \bigg(\int_0^{\infty} \bigg(\int_t^{\infty} f(s)^{p_1} v_1(s)^{p_1} ds \bigg)^{\frac{q_1}{p_1}} u_1(t)^{q_1} dt \bigg)^{\frac{1}{q_1}} \end{align*} holds for every non-negative measurable function $f$ on $(0, \infty)$. The proof is based on discretizing and antidiscretizing techniques. The principal innovation consists in development of a new method which carefully avoids duality techniques and therefore enables us to obtain the characterization in previously unavailable situations, solving thereby a long-standing open problem. We then apply the characterization of the inequality to the establishing of criteria for embeddings between weighted Copson spaces $\operatorname{Cop}_{p_1,q_1} (u_1, v_1)$ and weighted Cesàro spaces $\operatorname{Ces}_{p_2, q_2} (u_2, v_2)$, and also between spaces $S^q(w)$ equipped with the norm $\|f\|_{S^q(w)}= \bigg(\int_0^\infty [f^{**}(t)-f^*(t)]^q w(t)\,dt\bigg)^{{1}/{q}}$ and classical Lorentz spaces of type $Λ$.
In this paper, new equivalence theorems for the boundedness of the composition of a quasilinear operator $T$ with the Hardy and Copson operators in weighted Lebesgue spaces are proved. The usefulness of the obtained results is illustrated in the case of weighted Hardy-type and weighted iterated Hardy-type inequalities.
In this paper, we present a solution to the inequality $$ \bigg( \int_0^{\infty} \bigg( \int_x^{\infty} \bigg( \int_0^t h \bigg)^q w(t)\,dt \bigg)^{r / q} u(x)\,ds \bigg)^{1/r}\leq C \, \bigg( \int_0^{\infty} h^p v \bigg)^{1 / p}, \quad h \in {\mathfrak M}^+(0,\infty), $$ using a combination of reduction techniques and discretization. Here $1 \le p < \infty$, $0 < q ,\, r < \infty$ and $u,\,v,\,w$ are weight functions on $(0,\infty)$.
We study a three-weight inequality for the superposition of the Hardy operator and the Copson operator, namely \begin{equation*} \bigg(\int_a^b \bigg(\int_t^b \bigg(\int_a^s f(τ)^p v(τ) \,dτ\bigg)^\frac{q}{p} u(s) \,ds \bigg)^{\frac{r}{q}} w(t) \,dt \bigg)^{\frac{1}{r}} \leq C \int_a^b f(t)\,dt, \end{equation*} in which $(a,b)$ is any nontrivial interval, $q,r$ are positive real parameters and $p\in(0,1]$. A simple change of variables can be used to obtain any weighted $L^p$-norm with $p\ge1$ on the right-hand side. Another simple change of variables can be used to equivalently turn this inequ…
We solve a long-standing open problem in theory of weighted inequalities concerning iterated Copson operators. We use a constructive approximation method based on a new discretization principle that is developed here. In result, we characterize all weight functions $w,v,u$ on $(0,\infty)$ for which there exists a constant $C$ such that the inequality $$ \left(\int_0^{\infty}\left(\int_t^\infty \left(\int_s^{\infty}h(y)\,\text{d}y\right)^mu(s) \,\text{d}s\right)^{\frac{q}{m}}w(t)\,\text{d}t\right)^{\frac{1}{q}} \le C \left(\int_0^{\infty}h(t)^pv(t)\,\text{d}t\right)^{\frac{1}{p}} $$ holds for e…
In this paper a reduction and equivalence theorems for the boundedness of the composition of a quasilinear operator $T$ with the Hardy and Copson operators in weighted Lebesgue spaces are proved. New equivalence theorems are obtained for the operator $T$ to be bounded in weighted Lebesgue spaces restricted to the cones of monotone functions, which allow to change the cone of non-decreasing functions to the cone of non-increasing functions and vice versa not changing the operator $T$. New characterizations of the weighted Hardy-type inequalities on the cones of monotone functions are given. The…
We investigate structure of the optimal domains for the Hardy-type operators including, for example, the classical Cesàro, Copson and Volterra operators as well as for some of their generalizations. We prove that, in some sense, the abstract Cesàro and Copson function spaces are closely related to the space $L^1$, namely, they contain "in the middle" a complemented copy of $L^1[0,1]$, asymptotically isometric copy of $\ell^1$ and also can be renormed to contain an isometric copy of $L^1[0,1]$. Moreover, the generalized Tandori function spaces are quite similar to $L^\infty$ because they contai…
In this paper the complete solution of the restricted inequalities for supremal operators are given. The boundedness of the composition of supremal operators with the Hardy and Copson operators in weighted Lebesgue spaces are characterized.
In this paper embeddings between weighted Copson function spaces ${\operatorname{Cop}}_{p_1,q_1}(u_1,v_1)$ and weighted Cesàro function spaces ${\operatorname{Ces}}_{p_2,q_2}(u_2,v_2)$ are characterized. In particular, two-sided estimates of the optimal constant $c$ in the inequality \begin{equation*} \bigg( \int_0^{\infty} \bigg( \int_0^t f(τ)^{p_2}v_2(τ)\,dτ\bigg)^{\frac{q_2}{p_2}} u_2(t)\,dt\bigg)^{\frac{1}{q_2}} \le c \bigg( \int_0^{\infty} \bigg( \int_t^{\infty} f(τ)^{p_1} v_1(τ)\,dτ\bigg)^{\frac{q_1}{p_1}} u_1(t)\,dt\bigg)^{\frac{1}{q_1}}, \end{equation*} where $p_1,\,p_2,\,q_1,\,q_2 \in…
We give sharp remainder terms of $L^{p}$ and weighted Hardy and Rellich inequalities on one of most general subclasses of nilpotent Lie groups, namely the class of homogeneous groups. As consequences, we obtain analogues of the generalised classical Hardy and Rellich inequalities and the uncertainty principle on homogeneous groups. We also prove higher order inequalities of Hardy-Rellich type, all with sharp constants. A number of identities are derived including weighted and higher order types.
We give improvements and generalizations of both the classical Hardy inequality and the geometric Hardy inequality based on the divergence theorem. Especially, our improved Hardy type inequality derives both two Hardy type inequalities with best constants. Besides, we improve two Rellich type inequalities by using the improved Hardy type inequality.
We study $l^p$ operator norms of factorable matrices and related results. We give applications to $l^p$ operator norms of weighted mean matrices and Copson's inequalities. We also apply the method in this paper to study the best constant in an inequality of Hardy, Littlewood and Pólya.
The previous "Polynomial Capacities, Poincare' type inequalities and Spectral synthesis in Sobolev space" is a prerequisite. A parallell reading is recommended.
We give a sufficient condition for limiting Sobolev and Hardy inequalities to hold on stratified homogeneous groups. In the Euclidean case, this condition reduces to the known cancelling necessary and sufficient condition. We obtain in particular endpoint Korn--Sobolev and Korn--Hardy inequalities on stratified homogeneous groups.
It is known that classical Hardy and Sobolev inequalities hold when the exponent $p$ and the dimension $N$ satisfy $p < N < \infty$. In this note, we consider two limits of Hardy and Sobolev inequalities as $p \nearrow N$ and $N \nearrow \infty$ in some sense.
In this paper we establish improved Hardy and Rellich type inequalities on Riemannian manifold $M$. Furthermore, we also obtain sharp constant for the improved Hardy inequality and explicit constant for the Rellich inequality on hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$.
In this paper we prove sharp weighted Hardy-type inequalities on Carnot groups with the homogeneous norm $N=u^{1/(2-Q)}$ associated to Folland's fundamental solution $u$ for the sub-Laplacian $Δ_{\mathbb{G}}$. We also prove uncertainty principle, Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg and Rellich inequalities on Carnot groups.
We study Hardy-type inequalities on infinite homogeneous trees. More precisely, we derive optimal Hardy weights for the combinatorial Laplacian in this setting and we obtain, as a consequence, optimal improvements for the Poincaré inequality.
The purpose of this text is twofold. We present a review of the existing stability results for Sobolev, Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev (HLS) and related inequalities. We also contribute to the topic with some observations on constructive stability estimates for (HLS).
In this paper, generalised weighted $L^p$-Hardy,$ L^p$-Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg, and $L^p$-Rellich inequalities with boundary terms are obtained on stratified Lie groups. As consequences, most of the Hardy type inequalities and Heisenberg- Pauli-Weyl type uncertainty principles on stratified groups are recovered. Moreover, a weighted $L^2$-Rellich type inequality with the boundary term is obtained.
We establish improved versions of the Hardy and Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities by replacing the standard Dirichlet energy with some nonlocal nonconvex functionals which have been involved in estimates for the topological degree of continuous maps from a sphere into itself and characterizations of Sobolev spaces.
We prove sharp inequalities of Hardy type for functions in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. We achieve this in both the subcritical and critical cases. The method we use to show optimality takes into account all the constants involved in our inequalities.
This paper is a second one following our work [CLZ13] in series, considering sharp Hardy- Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities on groups of Heisenberg type. The first important breakthrough was made by Frank and Lieb in [FL12]. In this paper, analogous results are obtained for octonionic Heisenberg group.
We determine the sharp constant in the Hardy inequality for fractional Sobolev spaces on half-spaces. Our proof relies on a non-linear and non-local version of the ground state representation.
In this review paper, we survey Hardy type inequalities from the point of view of Folland and Stein's homogeneous groups. Particular attention is paid to Hardy type inequalities on stratified groups which give a special class of homogeneous groups. In this environment, the theory of Hardy type inequalities becomes intricately intertwined with the properties of sub-Laplacians and more general subelliptic partial differential equations. Particularly, we discuss the Badiale-Tarantello conjecture and a conjecture on the geometric Hardy inequality in a half-space of the Heisenberg group with a shar…
In this paper we present $L^2$ and $L^p$ versions of the geometric Hardy inequalities in half-spaces and convex domains on stratified (Lie) groups. As a consequence, we obtain the geometric uncertainty principles. We give examples of the obtained results for the Heisenberg and the Engel groups.
We obtain the sharp constant for the Hardy-Sobolev inequality involving the distance to the origin. This inequality is equivalent to a limiting Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality. In three dimensions, in certain cases the sharp constant coincides with the best Sobolev constant.
In the present paper we shall improve one dimensional weighted Hardy inequalities with one-sided boundary condition by adding sharp remainders. As an application, we shall establish n dimensional weighted Hardy inequalities in a bounded smooth domain with weight functions being powers of the distance function d(x) to the boundary. Our results will be applicable to variational problems in a coming paper.
In this paper, we present a version of horizontal weighted Hardy-Rellich type and Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type inequalities on stratified groups and study some of their consequences. Our results reflect on many results previously known in special cases. Moreover, a new simple proof of the Badiale-Tarantello conjecture [2] on the best constant of a Hardy type inequality is provided. We also show a family of Poincaré inequalities as well as inequalities involving the weighted and unweighted $p$-sub-Laplacians.
In this paper we study Hardy and Poincaré inequalities and their weak versions for quadratic forms satisfying the first Beurling-Deny criterion. We employ these inequalities to establish a criticality theory for such forms.
We prove a trace Hardy type inequality with the best constant on the polyhedral convex cones which generalizes recent results of Alvino et al. and of Tzirakis on the upper half space. We also prove some trace Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya type inequalities which generalize the recent results of Filippas et al.. In applications, we derive some Hardy type inequalities and Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya type inequalities for fractional Laplacian. Finally, we prove the logarithmic Sobolev trace inequalities and logarithmic Hardy trace inequalities on the upper half spaces. The best constants in these inequalities ar…
In this paper we study various forms of the Hardy inequality for Dunkl operators, including the classical inequality, $L^p$ inequalities, an improved Hardy inequality, as well as the Rellich inequality and a special case of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality. As a consequence, one-dimensional many-particle Hardy inequalities for generalised root systems are proved, which in the particular case of root systems $A_{N-1}$ improve some well-known results.
In this note we give several characterisations of weights for two-weight Hardy inequalities to hold on general metric measure spaces possessing polar decompositions. Since there may be no differentiable structure on such spaces, the inequalities are given in the integral form in the spirit of Hardy's original inequality. We give examples obtaining new weighted Hardy inequalities on $\mathbb R^n$, on homogeneous groups, on hyperbolic spaces, and on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds.
In this paper, we considered the problem of finding the upper bound Hausdorff matrix operator from sequence spaces $l_p(v)$ (or $d(v,p)$) into $l_p(w)$ (or $d(w,p)$). Also we considered the upper bound problem for matrix operators from $d(v,1)$ into $d(w,1)$, and matrix operators from $e(w,\infty)$ into $e(v,\infty)$, and deduce upper bound for Cesaro, Copson and Hilbert matrix operators, which are recently considered in \cite{5} and \cite{6} and similar to that in \cite{10}.
We prove a Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequality for arbitrary domains Ω\subset\R^N with a constant depending only on the dimension N\geq 3. In particular, for convex domains this settles a conjecture by Filippas, Maz'ya and Tertikas. As an application we derive Hardy-Lieb-Thirring inequalities for eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators on domains.
In this paper, we obtained the Dunkl analogy of classical Lp Hardy inequality for $p > N + 2γ$ with sharp constant $\left(\frac{p-N-2γ}{p}\right)^{p}$, where $2γ$ is the degree of weight function associated with Dunkl operators, and $L^p$ Hardy inequalities with distant function in some G-invariant domains. Moreover we proved two sharp Hardy-Rellich type inequalities for Dunkl operators.
We show how to deduce Rellich inequalities from Hardy inequalities on infinite graphs. Specifically, the obtained Rellich inequality gives an upper bound on a function by the Laplacian of the function in terms of weighted norms. These weights involve the Hardy weight and a function which satisfies an eikonal inequality. The results are proven first for Laplacians and are extended to Schrödinger operators afterwards.
In this short article we obtain some necessary conditions for a so-called fractional Hardy-Sobolev's inequalities in multidimensional case. We also give some examples to show the sharpness of these inequalities.
We use different approaches to study a generalization of a result of Levin and Stečkin concerning an inequality analogous to Hardy's inequality. Our results lead naturally to the study of weighted remainder form of Hardy-type inequalities.
We continue our previous study of improved Hardy, Rellich and Uncertainty principle inequalities on a Riemannian manifold $M$, started in \cite{Kombe-Ozaydin}. In the present paper we prove new weighted Hardy-Poincaré, Rellich type inequalities as well as improved version of our Uncertainty principle inequalities on a Riemannian manifold $M$. In particular, we obtain sharp constants for these inequalities on the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$.
We establish fractional Hardy-type inequalities in a bounded domain with plump complement. In particular our results apply in bounded C^\infty domains and Lipschitz domains.
In this note we extend several integral inequalities to the context of noncommutative Vilenkin groups. We prove some sharp weak and strong type estimates for the Hardy operator and the Hardy-Littlewood-P{ó}lya operator on constant-order noncommutative Vilenkin groups. In particular for graded $\K$-Lie groups, where $\K$ is a non-archimedean local field, we additionally provide some functional inequalities, like the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev unequality and the Stein-Weiss inequality, linking some classes of homogeneous pseudo-differential operators, like the Vladimirov-Taibleson operator and the…
We prove that supermodularity is a necessary condition for the generalized Hardy- Littlewood and Riesz rearrangement inequalities. We also show the necessity of the monotonicity of the kernels involved in the Riesz{type integral.
In this paper, we obtain Hardy, Hardy-Rellich and refined Hardy inequalities on general stratified groups and weighted Hardy inequalities on general homogeneous groups using the factorization method of differential operators, inspired by the recent work of Gesztesy and Littlejohn \cite{GL17}. We note that some of the obtained inequalities are new also in the usual Euclidean setting. We also obtain analogues of Gesztesy and Littlejohn's 2-parameter version of the Rellich inequality on stratified groups and on the Heisenberg group, and a new two-parameter estimate on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ which can b…
