      The paper studies a strong link between the Sobolev inequality on the whole Euclidean space and the Escobar inequality on the half-space. It is shown that both inequalities arise as special cases of a family of variational problems. The minimizers of the corresponding functionals are geometrically characterized. An essential tool in the approach is a mass transportation argument.
