How do I integrate this inequality that appears in a paper of Rabinowitz?

Sorry if this is too easy for MO, but I found it in a research paper, so I thought that it was worth posting here. I was reading a paper by Rabinowitz(this one to be more precise) and I came across ...

Bounding integral expression with Sobolev norm of integrand

Consider the following integral expression: $$\mathcal I :=\iint_{\epsilon \leq|x-y| \leq 1/2} f(x) f(y) \frac{\langle g(x)-g(y), x-y\rangle}{|x-y|^{n+2}} d x d y $$ for $\epsilon>0$, $f \in L^\...

Extremizers of the Sobolev inequality

Background: I am reading the paper: Best constant in Sobolev inequality by Talenti (see here) and I am trying to understand the following step. On p. 365, the author is arguing that the solutions to ...

Question about Gidas-Ni-Nirenberg result

Background: So I know that the Euler Lagrange equation associated with the Sobolev inequality takes the following form, $$-\Delta u = u^p$$ where $p=2^*-1$ and here we assume that $u>0$ on $\mathbb{...

Prove $\int_\Omega \left(\rho_{1} \ln \frac{\rho_{1}}{\rho_{2}}\right)dx dy \leq C\int_\Omega |\rho_1-\rho_2|dxdy$ for $0 \le \rho_1, \rho_2 \in L^1$

Let $\rho_1, \rho_2 \in L^1(\Omega;\mathbb R_+)$ such that $\int \rho_i|\ln \rho_i| < \infty$. Is it true that there exists a constant $C>0$ such that \begin{align*} \int_\Omega \left(\rho_{1} \...

How to show that $\Delta W \leq −2(n − 4)V$?

I am reading a preprint and trying to understand the proof of Lemma 3.5. On Pg. 19 above eqn (3.49) the authors claim that $\Delta W \leq −2(n − 4)V$ where the functions $W$ and $V$ are defined below, ...

An inequality for abstract Cauchy problem

Consider the following abstract Cauchy problem: $x'(t)=Ax(t)$, in $(0,T)$, with $x(0)=x_0$, where $A$ generates an analytic $C_0$-semigroup on a Banach space $X$. How we can prove an inequality of ...

Improved Hardy Inequality when orthogonal to radial functions?

A formulation of Hardy's Inequality on $\mathbb{R}^d$ states that when $0\le s<d$ and $1< p<\tfrac{d}{s}$ that $$ \|\frac{u}{|x|^s}\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)}\lesssim_{s,p,d} \||\nabla|^s u\|_{L^...

Hardy-type inequality for point boundary

Let $f$ be in $W^{2,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ for $n\geq 3$ and $p>n/2$, with $f=0$ at the origin. I want to show that the integral $$\int_{B(0,r)} (f |x|^{-2})^p dV <\infty$$ for some small $r>0$. A ...

Carleman estimates on monotonicity formulas

I am trying to derive a monotonicity formula for a certain Dirichlet critical point (or even maybe a minimizer) of an energy of the type, say for simplicity, an energy of the from $$\int_{B_r} (Ae(u)...

how to solve a singular integral equation involving the kernel $1/x$

Dear all, Suppose we know that $f(x)$ is nonnegative and Hölder continuous at zero with exponents $1/2$. We also know that $$ f(x) \le g(x) + \int_0^x \frac{f(y)}{y} d y,\quad\forall x>0, $$ ...

What would the best treatment of Gehring's lemma look like?

In a course about elliptic regularity probably one sooner or later stubles into the reverse Holder inequalities, and has to introduce the Gehring lemma, which in one of its many versions improves a ...

Any similar inequality in literature?

I got the following inequality: $B_{4}$ is the unit ball in $R^{4}$, $\partial B_{4}$ is its boundary. $(\int_{B_{4}}e^{4u}dx)^{\frac{1}{4}} \leq S(\int_{\partial B_{4}}e^{3u}d\xi)^{\frac{1}{3}}$, ...
