If $u \in H^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$, does $r^{-1} u \in H^{\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^3)$ for some $\alpha > 0$?
Let $u$ belong to the Sobolev space $H^1(\mathbb{R}^3)$. We have the classical Hardy inequality
\begin{equation*}
\int_{\mathbb{R}^3} \frac{|u|^2}{|x|^2} dx \le 4\int_{\mathbb{R}^3} |\nabla u(x)|^2 dx,...

Convolution of $\mathscr{F}\{ \log \}(x) * \mu$ with compactly supported measure $\mu$
As I read in this post the Fourier transform of $\psi(\lambda) = \log{|\lambda|}$ must be interpreted in distributional sense and it is given by:

When does the sine transform result in a positive function?
For each $x>0$ is, $$\int_0^\infty \tanh(t)e^{-\cosh(t)} \sin(x t) dt > 0\ \ \ ?$$
In general, it is known that if the kernel is decreasing, then the sine transform is positive. Note that this ...
