A note on polyharmonic functions (Q1869959)

Let \({\mathcal H}_m(B)\) denote the collection of all polyharmonic functions \(u\) of order \(m\), that is, solutions of \(\Delta^m u\equiv 0\), on the unit ball \(B\) of \(\mathbb{R}^n\). Also, let \(0< p<\infty\) and \(\alpha>-1\). The main result of this paper says that \[ \int_B|u(x)|^p (1-|x|)^\alpha dx\leq C\biggl\{ |u(0)|^p+ \int_B|\nabla u(x)|^p (1-|x|)^{p+\alpha} dx\biggr\}, \] for all \(u\in{\mathcal H}_m(B)\), where \(C\) is a positive constant independent of \(u\).
