Higher-order interpolation inequalities with weights for radial functions (Q1995015)

The authors consider higher-order interpolation inequalities of Gagliardo-Nirenberg type with power weights for radial functions. They show that those inequalities hold for a better range of admissible power weights if they are restricted to the space of radially symmetric functions. Key of the proof is to reduce the problem to a radial improvement for the weighted Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalitiy. More detailed, the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, the authors introduce some definitions and recall several known results. In Section 3, they present the proof of Theorem 1.2. [\textit{L. Caffarelli} et al., Compos. Math. 53, 259--275 (1984; Zbl 0563.46024)]. In Section 3.1, they consider the case \(a = 1\), the authors reduce the problem to a radial improvement for the weighted Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalitiy and show that the radially symmetric assumption improves the admissible range of power weights. Section 3.2 treats the case \(j/m < a < 1\) via an interpolation argument.
