Weighted anisotropic Sobolev inequality with extremal and associated singular problems. (Q2093354)

The main motivation of this article is to study the existence and regularity properties of weak solutions for the singular problems associated with the weighted anisotropic \(p\)-Laplace operator \[ H_{p,w}u=\text{div}(w(x)(H(\nabla u))^{p-1}\nabla H(\nabla u)); \] where \(H\) is a Finsler-Minkowski norm and the weight \(w\) belongs to a class of \(p\) admissible weights, which may vanish or blow up near the origin. In addition, they establish a weighted Sobolev type inequality with an extremal. The idea is from the work of \textit{G. Anello} et al. [Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4) 194, No. 3, 767--779 (2015; Zbl 1321.35056)] that is based on the approximation approach. To obtain the existence and regularity results for the singular problems, the authors follow the approach from [\textit{L. Boccardo} and \textit{L. Orsina}, Calc. Var. Partial Differ. Equ. 37, No. 3--4, 363--380 (2010; Zbl 1187.35081)], where to deal with the mixed Dirichlet problem \[ -H_{p,w}u=\frac{f(x)}{u^\delta}+\frac{g(x)}{u^\gamma}, \] they estimated both the singularities \(u^{-\delta}\) and \(u^{-\gamma}\) simultaneously as in [\textit{K. Bal} and \textit{P. Garain}, Manuscr. Math. 168, No. 1--2, 101--117 (2022; Zbl 1490.35012)]. Also for the case of \(e^{\frac{1}{u}}\) in the problem \[ -H_{p,w}u=h(x)e^{\frac{1}{u}}, \] they follow the domain approximation technique from [\textit{K. Perera} and \textit{E. A. B. Silva}, Differ. Integral Equ. 20, No. 1, 105--120 (2007; Zbl 1212.34048)].
