The main result of this paper is: Let \(n\geq 3\) and \(p\) be a real in \((1, n)\). Let \(\|\;\|\) be a norm on \(R^{n}\), its dual norm being denoted by \(\|\;\| _{*}\). Then, for all \(f\) in \(W^{1, p}(R^{n}_{+})\), \(R^{n}_{+}= R_{+} \times R^{n-1}\), \[ \| f| | _{L^{(n-1)p/(n-p)}(\partial R^{n}_{+})} \leq Q_{n}(p) \left( \int\limits_{R^{n}_{+}} | | \nabla f(y)| | ^{p}_{*} dy \right)^{1/p} \] with equality as soon as, for some \(\lambda >0\) and \(x_{0}\in R^{n-1}, \forall (t, x)\in R^{n}_{+}\) \[ f(t, x)= \left(\frac{\lambda^{1/p}}{| | (t+\lambda, x- x_{0})| | } \right)^{(n-p)/(p-1)}. \] This results contains the demonstration for \textit{J. F. Escobar}'s conjecture [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 37, No.~3, 687--698 (1988; Zbl 0666.35014)].
