The weighted $L^2$-Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities for the curl-free vector fields and second order derivatives: The sharp constants and stability estimates

In this paper, we study the weighted $L^2$-Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities for curl-free vector fields and second order derivatives. Firstly, we prove a family of the sharp weighted second order $L^2$-Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities that complements the results in [{\it C. Cazacu, J. Flynn and N. Lam, Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations 62 (2023), no. 4, Paper No. 118, 26 pp.}] and [{\it A. T. Duong and V. H. Nguyen, On the sharp second order Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality. Ann. Fenn. Math., 50(1):275--286, 2025}]. Secondly, we establish a stability version of the sharp weighted $L^2$-Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities for curl-free vector fields proved by Cazacu, Flynn and Lam. Finally, we prove a stability estimate for the sharp weighted second order $L^2$-Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities established in this paper. Our approach is based on the spherical harmonic decomposition method, the one dimensional integral inequalities and their improvements.

Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg and Weighted Gaussian Poincaré Inequalities: a complete characterization of sharp $L^2$ stability and $L^p$ extensions

We introduce a new family of weighted Gaussian $L^2$-Poincaré-type inequalities with explicit sharp constants, optimizers, and corresponding sharp $L^2$-gradient stability estimates. This family substantially extends the classical Gaussian Poincaré inequality. Owing to the singular nature of the weights involved, standard approaches to classical Gaussian Poincaré inequalities do not apply. To overcome this difficulty, we develop a new method based on generalized Laguerre polynomial expansions, spherical harmonic decompositions, and a Kelvin-type transform. As an application, we completely characterize the stability of the $L^2$-Caffarelli--Kohn--Nirenberg (CKN) inequalities by establishing sharp stability estimates, together with the stability of the stability inequality results, throughout the entire parameter range. Previous results were available only in a few special cases. We further establish weighted $L^p$-Poincaré inequalities for all $p>1$, and derive stability estimates for the $L^p$-CKN inequalities for $p\geq 2$ throughout the full parameter regime in which sharp constants and optimizers are known. In contrast, earlier $L^p$ results were restricted to highly limited parameter ranges.

A complete description of the asymptotic behavior at infinity of positive radial solutions to $Δ^2 u = u^α$ in $\mathbf R^n$

We consider the biharmonic equation $Δ^2 u = u^α$ in $\mathbf R^n$ with $n \geqslant 1$. It was proved that this equation has a positive classical solution if, and only if, either $α\leqslant 1$ with $n \geqslant 1$ or $α\geqslant (n+4)/(n-4)$ with $n \geqslant 5$. The asymptotic behavior at infinity of all positive radial solutions was known in the case $α\geqslant (n+4)/(n-4)$ and $n \geqslant 5$. In this paper, we classify the asymptotic behavior at infinity of all positive radial solutions in the remaining case $α\leqslant 1$ with $n \geqslant 1$; hence obtaining a complete picture of the asymptotic behavior at infinity of positive radial solutions. Since the underlying equation is higher order, we propose a new approach which relies on a representation formula and asymptotic analysis arguments. We believe that the approach introduced here can be conveniently applied to study other problems with higher order operators.

An optimal Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality on $\mathbf R^{n-k} \times \mathbf R^n$ and its consequences

For $n > k \geq 0$, $λ>0$, and $p, r>1$, we establish the following optimal Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality \[ \Big| \iint_{\mathbf R^n \times \mathbf R^{n-k}} \frac{f(x) g(y)}{ |x-y|^λ|y"|^β} dx dy \Big| \lesssim \| f \| _{L^p(\mathbf R^{n-k})} \| g\| _{L^r(\mathbf R^n)} \] with $y = (y', y") \in \mathbf R^{n-k} \times \mathbf R^k$ under the two necessary conditions \[ β< \left\{ \begin{aligned} & k - k/r & & \text{if } \; 0 < λ\leq n-k,\\ & n - λ- k/r & & \text{if } \; n-k < λ, \end{aligned} \right. \] and \[ \frac{n-k}n \frac 1p + \frac 1r + \frac { β+ λ} n = 2 -\frac kn. \] We call this the optimal Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality on $\mathbf R^{n-k} \times \mathbf R^n$. The existence of an optimal pair for this new inequality is also studied. The motivation of working on the above inequality is to provide a unification of many known Hardy-Littewood-Sobolev inequalities including the classical Hardy-Littewood-Sobolev inequality when $k=β=0$, the Hardy-Littewood-Sobolev inequality on the upper half space $\mathbf R^{n-1} \times \mathbf R_+^n$ when $k=1$ and $β= 0$, and the Hardy-Littewood-Sobolev inequality on the upper half space $\mathbf R^{n-1} \times \mathbf R_+^n$ with extended kernel when $k=1$ and $β\ne 0$. We show that the above condition for $β$ is sharp. In the unweighted case, namely $β=0$, our finding immediately leads to the sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality on $\mathbf R^{n-k} \times \mathbf R^n$ with the optimal range $$0<λ<n-k/r,$$ which has not been observed before, even in the case $k=1$. As one of many consequences, we give a short proof of the Stein-Weiss inequality in the context of $\mathbf R^{n-k} \times \mathbf R^n$.

The sharp second order Caffareli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality and stability estimates for the sharp second order uncertainty principle

In this paper we prove a class of second order Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities which contains the sharp second order uncertainty principle recently established by Cazacu, Flynn and Lam \cite{CFL2020} as a special case. We also show the sharpness of our inequalities for several classes of parameters. Finally, we prove two stability versions of the sharp second order uncertainty principle of Cazacu, Flynn and Lam by showing that the difference of both sides of the inequality controls the distance to the set of extremal functions in $L^2$ norm of gradient of functions.

Extremals for the Singular Moser-Trudinger Inequality via n-Harmonic Transplantation

The Moser-Trudinger embedding has been generalized in [Adimurthi A.; Sandeep K., A singular Moser-Trudinger embedding and its applications, \textit{NoDEA Nonlinear Differential Equations Appl.}, 13 (2007), no. 5-6, 585--603] to the following weighted version: if $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ is bounded, $ω_{n-1}$ is the $\mathcal{H}^{n-1}$ measure of the unit sphere, then for $α>0$ and $β\in [0,n)$, $$ \sup_{u\in\mathcal{B}_1}\int_Ω\frac{e^{α|u|^{n/(n-1)}}}{|x|^β}\leq C \ \Leftrightarrow \ \fracα{α_n}+\fracβ{n}\leq1,\qquad $$ where $α_n=n\cnn$ and $\mathcal{B}_1 = \left\{ u \in W_0^{1, n}(Ω) \ | \ \int_Ω |\nabla u |^n \leq1 \right\}$. We prove that the supremum is attained on any domain $Ω$. The paper also fills in the gaps in the proof of [Lin K.C., Extremal functions for Moser's inequality, \textit{Trans. of. Am. Math. Soc.}, 384 (1996), 2663--2671], which deals with the case $β=0.$

Liouville type theorems for fractional elliptic problems

In this paper, we establish Liouville type theorems for stable solutions on the whole space $\mathbb R^N$ to the fractional elliptic equation $$(-Δ)^su=f(u)$$ where the nonlinearity is nondecreasing and convex. We also obtain a classification of stable solutions to the fractional Lane-Emden system $$\begin{cases} (-Δ)^s u = v^p \mbox{ in }\mathbb R^N (-Δ)^s v = u^q \mbox{ in }\mathbb R^N \end{cases}$$ with $p>1$ and $ q>1$. In our knowledge, this is the first classification result for stable solutions of the fractional Lane-Emden system in literature.

The sharp Adams type inequalities in the hyperbolic spaces under the Lorentz-Sobolev norms

Let $2\leq m < n$ and $q \in (1,\infty)$, we denote by $W^mL^{\frac nm,q}(\mathbb H^n)$ the Lorentz-Sobolev space of order $m$ in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^n$. In this paper, we establish the following Adams inequality in the Lorentz-Sobolev space $W^m L^{\frac nm,q}(\mathbb H^n)$ \[ \sup_{u\in W^mL^{\frac nm,q}(\mathbb H^n),\, \|\nabla_g^m u\|_{\frac nm,q}\leq 1} \int_{\mathbb H^n} Φ_{\frac nm,q}\big(β_{n,m}^{\frac q{q-1}} |u|^{\frac q{q-1}}\big) dV_g < \infty \] for $q \in (1,\infty)$ if $m$ is even, and $q \in (1,n/m)$ if $m$ is odd, where $β_{n,m}^{q/(q-1)}$ is the sharp exponent in the Adams inequality under Lorentz-Sobolev norm in the Euclidean space. To our knowledge, much less is known about the Adams inequality under the Lorentz-Sobolev norm in the hyperbolic spaces. We also prove an improved Adams inequality under the Lorentz-Sobolev norm provided that $q\geq 2n/(n-1)$ if $m$ is even and $2n/(n-1) \leq q \leq \frac nm$ if $m$ is odd, \[ \sup_{u\in W^mL^{\frac nm,q}(\mathbb H^n),\, \|\nabla_g^m u\|_{\frac nm,q}^q -λ\|u\|_{\frac nm,q}^q \leq 1} \int_{\mathbb H^n} Φ_{\frac nm,q}\big(β_{n,m}^{\frac q{q-1}} |u|^{\frac q{q-1}}\big) dV_g < \infty \] for any $0< λ< C(n,m,n/m)^q$ where $C(n,m,n/m)^q$ is the sharp constant in the Lorentz-Poincaré inequality. Finally, we establish a Hardy-Adams inequality in the unit ball when $m\geq 3$, $n\geq 2m+1$ and $q \geq 2n/(n-1)$ if $m$ is even and $2n/(n-1) \leq q \leq n/m$ if $m$ is odd \[ \sup_{u\in W^mL^{\frac nm,q}(\mathbb H^n),\, \|\nabla_g^m u\|_{\frac nm,q}^q -C(n,m,\frac nm)^q \|u\|_{\frac nm,q}^q \leq 1} \int_{\mathbb B^n} \exp\big(β_{n,m}^{\frac q{q-1}} |u|^{\frac q{q-1}}\big) dx < \infty. \]

The sharp Sobolev type inequalities in the Lorentz--Sobolev spaces in the hyperbolic spaces

Let $W^1L^{p,q}(\mathbb H^n)$, $1\leq q,p < \infty$ denote the Lorentz-Sobolev spaces of order one in the hyperbolic spaces $\mathbb H^n$. Our aim in this paper is three-fold. First of all, we establish a sharp Poincaré inequality in $W^1L^{p,q}(\mathbb H^n)$ with $1\leq q \leq p$ which generalizes the result in \cite{NgoNguyenAMV} to the setting of Lorentz-Sobolev spaces. Second, we prove several sharp Poincaré-Sobolev type inequalities in $W^1L^{p,q}(\mathbb H^n)$ with $1\leq q \leq p < n$ which generalize the results in \cite{NguyenPS2018} to the setting of Lorentz-Sobolev spaces. Finally, we provide the improved Moser-Trudinger type inequalities in $W^1L^{n,q}(\mathbb{H}^n)$ in the critical case $p= n$ with $1\leq q \leq n$ which generalize the results in \cite{NguyenMT2018} and improve the results in \cite{YangLi2019}. In the proof of the main results, we shall prove a Pólya--Szegö type principle in $W^1 L^{p,q}(\mathbb H^n)$ with $1\leq q \leq p$ which maybe is of independent interest.

Exhaustive existence and non-existence results for some prototype polyharmonic equations in the whole space

In this paper, we are interested in entire, non-trivial, non-negative solutions and/or entire, positive solutions to the simplest models of polyharmonic equations with power-type nonlinearity \[ Δ^m u = \pm u^α \quad \text{ in } \mathbb R^n \] with $n \geqslant 1$, $m \geqslant 1$, and $α\in \mathbb R$. We aim to study the existence and non-existence of such classical solutions to the above equations in the full range of the constants $n$, $m$ and $α$. Remarkably, we are able to provide necessary and sufficient conditions on the exponent $α$ to guarantee the existence of such solutions in $\mathbb R^n$. Finally, we identify all the situations where any entire non-trivial, non-negative classical solution must be positive.

The sharp Hardy--Moser--Trudinger inequality in dimension $n$

In this paper, we prove a Hardy--Moser--Trudinger inequality in the unit ball $\mathbb B^n$ in $\mathbb R^n$ which improves both the classical singular Moser--Trudinger inequality and the classical Hardy inequality at the same time. More precisely, we show that for any $β\in [0,n)$ there exists a constant $C>0$ depending only on $n$ and $β$ such that \[ \sup_{u\in W^{1,n}_0(\mathbb B^n), \mathcal H(u) \leq 1}\int_{\mathbb B^n} e^{(1-\fracβn)α_n |u|^{\frac n{n-1}}} |x|^{-β} dx \leq C \] where $α_n = n ω_{n-1}^{\frac1{n-1}}$ with $ω_{n-1}$ being the surface area of the unit sphere $S^{n-1} = \partial \mathbb B^n$, and \[ \mathcal H(u) = \int_{\mathbb B^n} |\nabla u|^n dx -\left(\frac{2(n-1)}n\right)^n \int_{\mathbb B^n} \frac{|u|^n}{(1-|x|^2)^n} dx. \] This extends an inequality of Wang and Ye in dimension two to higher dimensions and to the singular case as well. The proof is based on the method of transplantation of Green's functions and without using the blow-up analysis method. As a consequence, we obtain a singular Moser--Trudinger inequality in the hyperbolic spaces which confirms affirmatively a conjecture by Mancini, Sandeep and Tintarev \cite[Conjecture $5.2$]{MST}. We also propose an inequality which extends the singular Hardy--Moser--Trudinger inequality to any bounded convex domain in $\mathbb R^n$ which is analogue of the conjecture of Wang and Ye in higher dimensions.

Supercritical Moser-Trudinger inequalities and related elliptic problems

Given $α>0$, we establish the following two supercritical Moser-Trudinger inequalities \[ \sup\limits_{u \in W^{1,n}_{0,{\rm rad}}(B): \int_B |\nabla u|^n dx \leq 1} \int_B \exp\big( (α_n + |x|^α) |u|^{\frac{n}{n-1}} \big) dx < +\infty \] and \[ \sup\limits_{u\in W^{1,n}_{0,{\rm rad}}(B): \int_B |\nabla u|^n dx \leq 1} \int_B \exp\big( α_n |u|^{\frac{n}{n-1} + |x|^α} \big) dx < +\infty, \] where $W^{1,n}_{0,{\rm rad}}(B)$ is the usual Sobolev spaces of radially symmetric functions on $B$ in $\mathbb R^n$ with $n\geq 2$. Without restricting to the class of functions $W^{1,n}_{0,{\rm rad}}(B)$, we should emphasize that the above inequalities fail in $W^{1,n}_{0,{\rm rad}}(B)$. Questions concerning the sharpness of the above inequalities as well as the existence of the optimal functions are also studied. To illustrate the finding, an application to a class of boundary value problems on balls is presented. This is the second part in a set of our works concerning functional inequalities in the supercritical regime.

A supercritical Sobolev type inequality in higher order Sobolev spaces and related higher order elliptic problems

A Sobolev type embedding for radially symmetric functions on the unit ball $B$ in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 3$, into the variable exponent Lebesgue space $L_{2^\star + |x|^α} (B)$, $2^\star = 2n/(n-2)$, $α>0$, is known due to J.M. do Ó, B. Ruf, and P. Ubilla, namely, the inequality \[ \sup\Big\{\int_B |u(x)|^{2^\star+|x|^α} dx : u\in H^1_{0,{\rm rad}}(B), \|\nabla u\|_{L^2(B)} =1\Big\} < +\infty \] holds. In this work, we generalize the above inequality for higher order Sobolev spaces of radially symmetric functions on $B$, namely, the embedding \[ H^m_{0,{\rm rad}}(B) \hookrightarrow L_{2_m^\star + |x|^α} (B) \] with $2\leq m < n/2$, $2_m^* = 2n/(n-2m)$, and $α>0$ holds. Questions concerning the sharp constant for the inequality including the existence of the optimal functions are also studied. To illustrate the finding, an application to a boundary value problem on balls driven by polyharmonic operators is presented. This is the first in a set of our works concerning functional inequalities in the supercritical regime.

The Leray--Adams inequality

In this paper, we establish the following Leray--Adams type inequality on a bounded domain $Ω$ in $\mathbb R^{4}$ containing the origin, \[ \sup_{u\in C_0^\infty(Ω), \tilde I_4[u,Ω,R] \leq 1} \int_Ω\exp\left(c\left( \frac{|u|}{E_2^β\left(\frac{|x|}R\right)}\right)^2\right) dx \leq C |Ω| \] for some constants $c >0$ and $C >0$, where $β\geq 1$, $R \geq \sup_{x\in Ω} |x|$, $ \tilde I_4[u,Ω,R]:= \int_Ω|Δu|^2 dx - \int_Ω\frac{|u|^2}{|x|^{4} E_1^2\left(\frac{|x|}R\right)} dx, $ and $E_1(t) = 1-\ln t$, $E_2(t) = \ln (eE_1(t))$ for $t \in (0,1]$. This extends the Leray--Trudinger inequality recently established by Psaradakis and Spector \cite{PS2015} and Mallick and Tintarev \cite{MT2018} to the case of Laplacian operator. In the higher dimensions or higher order derivatives, we prove the Leray--Adams type inequality for radial function on the ball $B_r$ (with center at origin and radius $r >0$) in $\mathbb R^n$.

Higher order Sobolev trace inequalities on balls revisited

Inspired by a recent sharp Sobolev trace inequality of order four on the balls $\mathbb B^{n+1}$ found by Ache and Chang [AC15], we propose a slightly different approach to reprove Ache-Chang's trace inequality. To illustrate this approach, we reprove the classical Sobolev trace inequality of order two on $\mathbb B^{n+1}$ and provide sharp Sobolev trace inequalities of orders six and eight on $\mathbb B^{n+1}$. As the limiting case of the Sobolev trace inequality, a Lebedev-Milin type inequality of order up to eight is also considered.

Sharp Adams-Moser-Trudinger type inequalities in the hyperbolic space

The purpose of this paper is to establish some Adams-Moser-Trudinger inequalities, which are the borderline cases of the Sobolev embedding, in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^n$. First, we prove a sharp Adams inequality of order two with the exact growth condition in $\mathbb H^n$. Then we use it to derive a sharp Adams-type inequality and an Adachi-Tanaka-type inequality. We also prove a sharp Adams-type inequality with Navier boundary condition on any bounded domain of $\mathbb H^n$, which generalizes the result of Tarsi to the setting of hyperbolic spaces. Finally, we establish a Lions-type lemma and an improved Adams-type inequality in the spirit of Lions in $\mathbb H^n$. Our proofs rely on the symmetrization method extended to hyperbolic spaces.
