We prove a fractional Hardy-Rellich inequality with an explicit constant in bounded domains of class $C^{1,1}$. The strategy of the proof generalizes an approach pioneered by E. Mitidieri (Mat. Zametki, 2000) by relying on a Pohozaev-type identity.
We consider the domain dependence of the best constant in the subcritical fractional Sobolev constant, $$ λ_{s,p}(Ω):=\inf \left\{ [u]_{H^s(\mathbb{R}^N)}^2,\,\, u\in C^\infty_c(Ω),\,\, \|u\|_{L^p(Ω)}=1 \right\}, $$ where $s\in (0,1)$, $Ω$ is bounded of class $C^{1,1}$ and $p\in [1, \frac{2N}{N-2s})$ if $2s<N$, $p\in [1, \infty)$ if $2s\geq N=1$. Explicitly, we derive formula for the one-sided shape derivative of the mapping $Ω\mapsto λ_{s,p}(Ω)$ under domain perturbations. In the case where $ λ_{s,p}(Ω)$ admits a unique positive minimizer (e.g. $p=1$ or $p=2$), our result implies a nonlocal version of the classical variational Hadamard formula for the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian on $Ω$. Thanks to the formula for our one-sided shape derivative, we characterize smooth local minimizers of $λ_{s,p}(Ω)$ under volume-preserving deformations, and we find that they are balls if $p\in \{1\}\cup [2,\infty)$. Finally, we consider the maximization problem for $λ_{s,p}(Ω)$ among annular-shaped domains of fixed volume of the type $B\setminus \overline B'$, where $B$ is a fixed ball and $B'$ is ball whose position is varied within $B$. We prove that, for $p\in \{1,2\}$, the value $λ_{s,p}(B\setminus \overline B')$ is maximal when the two balls are concentric.
We prove a fractional Pohozaev type identity in a generalized framework and discuss its applications. Specifically, we shall consider applications to nonexistence of solutions in the case of supercritical semilinear Dirichlet problems and regarding a Hadamard formula for the derivative of Dirichlet eigenvalues of the fractional Laplacian with respect to domain deformations. We also derive the simplicity of radial eigenvalues in the case of radial bounded domains and apply the Hadamard formula to this case.
