Degenerate p-Laplacian operators and Hardy type inequalities on H-type groups

Abstract: Let

m a t h b b G

be a step-two nilpotent group of H-type with Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k G = V o p l u s m a t h f r a k t

. We define a class of vector fields

X = X_{j}

on

m a t h b b G

depending on a real parameter

k g e 1

, and we consider the corresponding

p

-Laplacian operator

L_{p, k} u = e x t {d i v}_{X} (| a_{X} u |^{p - 2} a_{X} u)

. For

k = 1

the vector fields

X = X_{j}

are the left invariant vector fields corresponding to an orthonormal basis of

V

, for

k = 2

and

m a t h b b G

being the Heisenberg group they are introduced by Greiner cite{Greiner-cjm79}. In this paper we obtain the fundamental solution for the operator

L_{p, k}

and as an application, we get a Hardy type inequality associated with

X

.
