Abstract: This paper is intended to give a characterization of the optimality case in Nash's inequality, based on methods of nonlinear analysis for elliptic equations and techniques of the calculus of variations. By embedding the problem into a family of Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities, this approach reveals why optimal functions have compact support and also why optimal constants are determined by a simple spectral problem.


The authors review several methods for proving Nash's inequality and estimate the optimal Nash constant. In particular, based on methods of nonlinear analysis for elliptic equations and techniques of the calculus of variations, a characterization of the optimality case in Nash's inequality is presented.
