Some isoperimetric inequalities with respect to monomial weights

We solve a class of isoperimetric problems on $\mathbb{R}^2_+ :=\left\{ (x,y)\in \mathbb{R} ^2 : y>0 \right\}$ with respect to monomial weights. Let $α$ and $β$ be real numbers such that $0\le α<β+1$, $β\le 2 α$. We show that, among all smooth sets $Ω$ in $\mathbb{R} ^2_+$ with fixed weighted measure $\iint_{Ω} y^β dxdy$, the weighted perimeter $\int_{\partial Ω} y^α\, ds$ achieves its minimum for a smooth set which is symmetric w.r.t. to the $y$--axis, and is explicitly given. Our results also imply an estimate of a weighted Cheeger constant and a lower bound for the first eigenvalue of a class of nonlinear problems.

Finsler Hardy-Kato's inequality

We prove an improved version of the trace-Hardy inequality, so-called Kato's inequality, on the half-space in Finsler context. The resulting inequality extends the former one obtained by \cite{AFV} in Euclidean context. Also we discuss the validity of the same type of inequalities on open cones.

The isoperimetric problem for a class of non-radial weights and applications

We study a class of isoperimetric problems on $\mathbb{R}^{N}_{+} $ where the densities of the weighted volume and weighted perimeter are given by two different non-radial functions of the type $|x|^k x_N^α$. Our results imply some sharp functional inequalities, like for instance, Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type inequalities.

On weighted isoperimetric inequalities with non-radial densities

We consider a class of isoperimetric problems on $\mathbb{R}^{N}_{+} $ where the volume and the area element carry two different weights of the type $|x|^lx_N^α$. We solve them in a special case while a more detailed study is contained in \cite{ABCMP2}. Our results imply a weighted Polya-Szëgo principle and a priori estimates for weak solutions to a class of boundary value problems for degenerate elliptic equations

Sharp Hardy inequalities in the half space with trace remainder term

In this paper we deal with a class of inequalities which interpolate the Kato's inequality and the Hardy's inequality in the half space. Starting from the classical Hardy's inequality in the half space $\rnpiu =\R^{n-1}\times(0,\infty)$, we show that, if we replace the optimal constant $\frac{(n-2)^2}{4}$ with a smaller one $\frac{(β-2)^2}{4}$, $2\le β<n$, then we can add an extra trace-term equals to that one that appears in the Kato's inequality. The constant in the trace remainder term is optimal and it tends to zero when $β$ goes to $n$, while it is equal to the optimal constant in the Kato's inequality when $β=2$.

On Hardy inequalities with a remainder term

In this paper we study some improvements of the classical Hardy inequality. We add to the right hand side of the inequality a term which depends on some Lorentz norms of $u$ or of its gradient and we find the best values of the constants for remaining terms. In both cases we show that the problem of finding the optimal value of the constant can be reduced to a spherically symmetric situation. This result is new when the right hand side is a Lorentz norm of the gradient.
