On the Brezis and Mironescu conjecture concerning a Gagliardo--Nirenberg inequality for fractional Sobolev norms. (Q1406915)

It is the main aim of this paper to prove the inequality \[ \| u \, | W^{\theta s}_{p/ \theta} (\mathbb{R}^n) \| \leq c(p, s, \theta) \, \| u \, | W^s_p (\mathbb{R}^n) \| ^\theta \, \| u \, | L_\infty (\mathbb{R}^n) \| ^{1- \theta}, \] where \(0<s<1\), \( 1<p< \infty\), \(0 < \theta <1\), and to estimate the constant \(c(p,s, \theta)\) in an optimal way.
