Weighted Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type inequalities related to Grushin type operators (Q2417206)

The authors, after an introduction containing some useful notions and basic facts about the Grushin-type operators, prove weighted Hardy-Sobolev-type inequalities and weighted Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg-type inequalities related to the Grushin-type operator. \par For the Grushin-type operator, \textit{L. D'Ambrosio} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 132, No. 3, 725--734 (2004; Zbl 1049.35077)] proved some Hardy-type inequalities and gave sharp estimates in some cases. Inspired by this result, the authors first obtain a class of weighted Hardy-Sobolev-type inequalities and then derive the associated weighted Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities for the special case. \par Moreover, a final computation is achieved using simple, classical instruments as the Hölder inequality and the Minkowski inequality and the polar transform defined by D'Ambrosio [loc. cit.].
