Estimates for the Sobolev trace constant with critical exponent and applications

In this paper we find estimates for the optimal constant in the critical Sobolev trace inequality $S\|u\|^p_{L^{p_*}(\partialΩ) \hookrightarrow \|u\|^p_{W^{1,p}(Ω)}$ that are independent of $Ω$. This estimates generalized those of [3] for general $p$. Here $p_* := p(N-1)/(N-p)$ is the critical exponent for the immersion and $N$ is the space dimension. Then we apply our results first to prove existence of positive solutions to a nonlinear elliptic problem with a nonlinear boundary condition with critical growth on the boundary, generalizing the results of [16]. Finally, we study an optimal design problem with critical exponent.
