Abstract: We consider the existence and the non-existence of a minimizer of the following minimization problems associated with an improved Hardy-Sobolev type inequality introduced by Ioku. I_a := inf_{u in W_0^{1,p}(B_R ) setminus { 0} } frac{int_{B_R} | abla u |^{p} ,dx}{left( int_{B_R} |u|^{p^*(s)} V_a(x) ,dx ight)^{frac{p}{p^*(s)}}}, ,, ext{where},, V_a (x) =frac{1}{|x|^s left( 1- a ,left( frac{|x|}{R} ight)^{frac{N-p}{p-1}} ight)^�eta} ge frac{1}{|x|^s}. Only for radial functions, the minimization problem Ia is equivalent to it associated with the classical Hardy-Sobolev inequality on mathbbRN via a transformation. First, we summarize various transformations including that transformation and give a viewpoint of such transformations. As an application of this viewpoint, we derive {it an infinite dimensional form} of the classical Sobolev inequality in some sense. Next, without the transformation, we investigate the minimization problems Ia on balls BR. In contrast to the classical results for a=0, we show the existence of non-radial minimizers for the Hardy-Sobolev critical exponent p(s)=fracp(Ns)Np on bounded domains. Finally, we give remarks of a different structure between two nonlinear scalings which are equivalent to the usual scaling only for radial functions under some transformations.
