Abstract: The Adimurthi-Druet [1] inequality is an improvement of the standard Moser-Trudinger inequality by adding a L2-type perturbation, quantified by alphain[0,lambda1), where lambda1 is the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of Delta on a smooth bounded domain. It is known [3,9,13,18] that this inequality admits extremal functions, when the perturbation parameter alpha is small. By contrast, we prove here that the Adimurthi-Druet inequality does not admit any extremal, when the perturbation parameter alpha approaches lambda1. Our result is based on sharp expansions of the Dirichlet energy for blowing sequences of solutions of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equation, which take into account the fact that the problem becomes singular as alphaolambda1.


The main result of the paper establishes the non-existence of extremal functions for the Adimurthi-Druet inequality in the plane when the parameter approaches the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian operator. This contrasts with the existence of extremals for the standard Moser-Trudinger inequality.
