A minimization problem involving a fractional Hardy-Sobolev type inequality

Abstract

In this work, we obtain an existence of nontrivial solutions to a minimization problem involving a fractional Hardy-Sobolev type inequality in the case of inner singularity. Precisely, for $\lambda>0$ we analyze the attainability of the optimal constant $$ \mu_{\alpha, \lambda}(\Omega):=\inf\left\{ [u]^2_{s,\Omega}+\lambda\int_{\Omega}|u|^2 \, dx \colon u\in H^s(\Omega), \, \int_{\Omega} \frac{|u(x)|^{2_{s,\alpha}}}{|x|^{\alpha}} \, dx=1 \right\}, $$ where $0 4s, 0<\alpha<2s$, $2_{s,\alpha}=\frac{2(n-\alpha)}{n-2s}$, and $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded domain such that $0\in \Omega$.
