For a bounded convex domain Ωin R^N we prove refined Hardy inequalities that involve the Hardy potential corresponding to the distance to the boundary of Ω, the volume of $Ω$, as well as a finite number of sharp logarithmic corrections. We also discuss the best constant of these inequalities.
In this work we establish trace Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities with best Hardy constants, for weakly mean convex domains. We accomplish this by obtaining a new weighted Hardy type estimate which is of independent inerest. We then produce Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities for the spectral half Laplacian. This covers a critical case left open in \cite{FMT1}.
In this article we first establish a complete characterization of Hardy's inequalities in $\mathbb{R}^n$ involving distances to different codimension subspaces. In particular the corresponding potentials have strong interior singularities. We then provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities with optimal Sobolev terms.
In this article we establish new improvements of the optimal Hardy inequality in the half space. We first add all possible linear combinations of Hardy type terms thus revealing the structure of this type of inequalities and obtaining best constants. We then add the critical Sobolev term and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya type inequalities.
General Hardy-Carleman type inequalities for Dirac operators are proved. New inequalities are derived involving particular traditionally used weight functions. In particular, a version of the Agmon inequality and Treve type inequalities are established. The case of a Dirac particle in a (potential) magnetic field is also considered. The methods used are direct and based on quadratic form techniques.
Let P be a linear, second order, elliptic operator satisfying a Hardy inequality with potential W (i.e. $P-W\geq0$) and best constant $α$. We give conditions so that the spectrum of $W^{-1}P$ is $[α,\infty)$. We apply this to several well-known Hardy inequalities: (improved) Hardy inequalities on a bounded convex domain with potential involving the distance to the boundary, and Hardy inequalities for minimal submanifolds of the Euclidean space.
In this paper we establish a Hardy inequality for Laplace operators with Robin boundary conditions. For convex domains, in particular, we show explicitly how the corresponding Hardy weight depends on the coefficient of the Robin boundary conditions. We also study several extensions to non-convex and unbounded domains.
We consider a general class of sharp $L^p$ Hardy inequalities in $\R^N$ involving distance from a surface of general codimension $1\leq k\leq N$. We show that we can succesively improve them by adding to the right hand side a lower order term with optimal weight and best constant. This leads to an infinite series improvement of $L^p$ Hardy inequalities.
We present a unified approach to improved $L^p$ Hardy inequalities in $\R^N$. We consider Hardy potentials that involve either the distance from a point, or the distance from the boundary, or even the intermediate case where distance is taken from a surface of codimension $1<k<N$. In our main result we add to the right hand side of the classical Hardy inequality, a weighted $L^p$ norm with optimal weight and best constant. We also prove non-homogeneous improved Hardy inequalities, where the right hand side involves weighted L^q norms, q \neq p.
We obtain Sobolev inequalities for the Schrodinger operator -Δ-V, where V has critical behaviour V(x)=((N-2)/2)^2|x|^{-2} near the origin. We apply these inequalities to obtain pointwise estimates on the associated heat kernel, improving upon earlier 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 present the geometric Hardy inequalities on the starshaped sets in the Carnot groups. Also, we obtain the geometric Hardy inequalities on half-spaces for general vector fields.
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 $\mathbb{R}_{+}^n:=\{x=(x_1, \ldots, x_n)|\, x_n>0 \}$.
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 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.
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.
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 obtain optimal generalized versions of Hardy inequalities, which as special cases contain Hardy's inequality and Hardy's inequality involving the distance function to the boundary of $ Ω$. In addition we obtain neccesary and sufficient conditions to add improvements in the form of non negative potentials.
We introduce a geometric approach of integral curves for functional inequalities involving directional derivatives in the general context of differentiable manifolds that are equipped with a volume form. We focus on Hardy-type inequalities and the explicit optimal Hardy potentials that are induced by this method. We then apply the method to retrieve some known inequalities and establish some new ones.
We prove a family of improved multipolar Poincaré-Hardy inequalities on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. For suitable configurations of poles, these inequalities yield an improved multipolar Hardy inequality and an improved multipolar Poincaré inequality such that the critical unipolar singular mass is reached at any pole.
In this paper, we establish the weighted anisotropic Hardy and Rellich type inequalities with boundary terms for general (real-valued) vector fields. As consequences, we derive new as well as many of the fundamental Hardy and Rellich type inequalities which are known in different settings.
In this paper we present a unified simple approach to anisotropic Hardy inequalities in various settings. We consider Hardy inequalities which involve a Finsler distance from a point or from the boundary of a domain. The sharpness and the non-attainability of the constants in the inequalities are also proved.
We study some Hardy-type inequalities involving a general norm in $R^n$ and an anisotropic distance function to the boundary. The case of the optimality of the constants is also addressed.
We study the Hardy identities and inequalities on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds using the notion of a Bessel pair. These Hardy identities offer significantly more information on the existence/nonexistence of the extremal functions of the Hardy inequalities. These Hardy inequalities are in the spirit of Brezis-Vázquez in the Euclidean spaces. As direct consequences, we establish several Hardy type inequalities that provide substantial improvements as well as simple understandings to many known Hardy inequalities and Hardy-Poincaré-Sobolev type inequalities on hyperbolic spaces in the literature.
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 prove Hardy-Leray and Rellich-Leray inequalities for curl-free vector fields with sharp constants. This complements the former work by Costin-Maz'ya \cite{Costin-Mazya} on the sharp Hardy-Leray inequality for axisymmetric divergence-free vector fields.
The previous "Polynomial Capacities, Poincare' type inequalities and Spectral synthesis in Sobolev space" is a prerequisite. A parallell reading is recommended.
The aim of this paper is to obtain new Hardy inequalities with double singular weights - at an interior point and on the boundary of the domain. These inequalities give us the possibility to derive estimates from below of the first eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
In this paper, we consider the first order Hardy inequalities using simple equalities. This basic setting not only permits to derive quickly many well-known Hardy inequalities with optimal constants, but also supplies improved or new estimates in miscellaneous situations, such as multipolar potential, the exponential weight, hyperbolic space, Heisenberg group, the edge Laplacian, or the Grushin type operator.
Firstly, this paper establishes useful forms of the remainder term of Hardy-type inequalities on general domains where the weights are functions of the distance to the boundary. For weakly mean convex domains we use the resulting identities to establish nonexistence of extremizers for and improve known sharp Hardy inequalities. Secondly, we establish geometrically interesting remainders for the Davies-Hardy-Tidblom inequalities for the mean distance function, as well as generalize and improve several Hardy type inequalities in the spirit of Brezis and Marcus and spectral estimates of Davies. L…
This paper studies the existence of extremal problems for the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities on compact manifolds without boundary via Concentration-Compactness principle.
In this work we establish trace Hardy and trace Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities with best Hardy constants, for domains satisfying suitable geometric assumptions such as mean convexity or convexity. We then use them to produce fractional Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities with best Hardy constants for various fractional Laplacians. In the case where the domain is the half space our results cover the full range of the exponent $s \in (0,1)$ of the fractional Laplacians. We answer in particular an open problem raised by Frank and Seiringer \cite{FS}.
This paper is primarily devoted to a class of interpolation inequalities of Hardy and Rellich types on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$. Consequently, several weighted Hardy type, Heisenberg-Pauli-Weyl uncertainty principle and Hardy-Rellich type inqualities are established on $\mathbb{H}^n$. Moreover, new weighted Sobolev type embeddings are derived. Finally, an integral inequality for vector fields in a domain of the Heisenberg group is obtained, leading to several specific weighted Hardy type inequalities by making careful choices of vector fields.
This note studies the Hardy-type inequalities for vector fields with the $L^1$ norm of the $\curl$. In contrast to the well-known results in the whole space for the divergence-free vectors, we generalize the Hardy-type inequalities to the bounded domains and to the non-divergence-free vector fields with the tangential components on the boundary vanishing.
In this paper we obtain some sharp Hardy inequalities with weight functions that may admit singularities on the unit sphere. In order to prove the main results of the paper we use some recent sharp inequalities for the lowest eigenvalue of Schrödinger operators on the unit sphere obtaind in the paper [DEL].
We establish various Hardy-type inequalities for the Dirichlet Laplacian in perturbed periodically twisted tubes of non-circular cross-sections. We also state conjectures about the existence of such inequalities in more general regimes, which we support by heuristic and numerical arguments.
First the Hardy and Rellich inequalities are defined for the submarkovian operator associated with a local Dirichlet form. Secondly, two general conditions are derived which are sufficient to deduce the Rellich inequality from the Hardy inequality. In addition the Rellich constant is calculated from the Hardy constant. Thirdly, we establish that the criteria for the Rellich inequality are verified for a large class of weighted second-order operators on a domain $Ω\subseteq \Ri^d$. The weighting near the boundary $\partial Ω$ can be different from the weighting at infinity. Finally these result…
In this paper we establish the subelliptic Picone type identities. As consequences, we obtain Hardy and Rellich type inequalities for anisotropic p-sub- Laplacians which are operators of the form $$ \mathcal{L}_p f := \sum_{i=1}^{N}X_i(|X_if|^{p_i-2}X_i f), \quad 1<p_i< \infty, $$ where $X_i, i=1,\ldots, N,$ are the generators of the first stratum of a stratified (Lie) group. Moreover, analogues of Hardy type inequalities with multiple singularities and many-particle Hardy type inequalities are obtained on stratified groups.

Let $Ø$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\R^N$ with $N\ge 1$. In this paper we study the Hardy-Poincaré inequalities with weight function singular at the boundary of $Ø$. In particular we give sufficient conditions so that the best constant is achieved.
With the help of a radially invariant vector field, we derive inequalities of the Hardy kind, with no boundary terms, for $W^{1,p}$ functions on bounded star domains. Our results are not obtainable from the classical inequalities for $W^{1,p}_{0}$ functions. Unlike in $W^{1,p}_{0}$, our inequalities admit maximizers that we describe explicitly.
We give a simple proof of the $λ= d-2$ cases of the sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for $d\geq 3$, and the sharp Logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for $d=2$ via a monotone flow governed by the fast diffusion equation.
We give sharp limiting case Hardy inequalities on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ and show that their optimal constants are unattainable by any $f\in H^{1}\left(\mathbb{S}^{2}\right)\setminus\{0\}$. The singularity of the problem is related to the geodesic distance from a point on the sphere.
This paper is devoted to improvements of Sobolev and Onofri inequalities. The additional terms involve the dual counterparts, i.e. Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev type inequalities. The Onofri inequality is achieved as a limit case of Sobolev type inequalities. Then we focus our attention on the constants in our improved Sobolev inequalities, that can be estimated by completion of the square methods. Our estimates rely on nonlinear flows and spectral problems based on a linearization around optimal Aubin-Talenti functions.
We proved some optimal Hardy inequalities in RNwhich is closely related to multipolar Schrödinger operators with mean-value type potentials, these sharp inequalities imply some multipolar type Heisenberg inequalities. We also obtained someimproved multipolar Hardy inequalities on bounded domains, moreover, we got the range of the best Hardy constant for a specific Hardy inequality.
We prove multipolar Hardy inequalities on complete Riemannian manifolds, providing various curved counterparts of some Euclidean multipolar inequalities due to Cazacu and Zuazua [Improved multipolar Hardy inequalities, 2013]. We notice that our inequalities deeply depend on the curvature, providing (quantitative) information about the deflection from the flat case. By using these inequalities together with variational methods and group-theoretical arguments, we also establish non-existence, existence and multiplicity results for certain Schrödinger-type problems involving the Laplace-Beltrami …
In this paper some important inequalities are revisited. First, as motivation, we give another proof of the Hardy's inequality applying convenient vector fields as introduced by Mitidieri, see [6]. Then, we investigate a particular case of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg's inequality. Finally, we study the Rellic's inequality.
We study the Hardy type inequalities in the framework of equalities. We present equalities which immediately imply Hardy type inequalities by dropping the remainder term. Simultaneously we give a characterization of the class of functions which makes the remainder term vanish. A point of our observation is to apply an orthogonality properties in general Hilbert space, and which gives a simple and direct understanding of the Hardy type inequalities as well as the nonexistence of nontrivial extremizers.
