Generalization of a Hardy-Littlewood-Polya inequality (Q1176138)

The main result is the inequality \[ \int_{R^ n}| u(x)|^ p| x|^{-k-2}dx\leq(p/| n-k-2|)^ p\int_{R^ n}|\hbox{grad}(u)|^ p| x|^{p-k-2}dx, \] where \(n\geq 2\), \(p,k\in R\), \(p\geq 2\), \(n-k\neq 2\) and \(u\) is infinitely differentiable with compact support in \(R^ n\backslash\{0\}\). The case \(n-k=2\) is also studied. Applications to some nonlinear partial differential equations are indicated.
