Abstract: By using a suitable transform related to Sobolev inequality, we investigate the sharp constants and optimizers in radial space for the following weighted Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg-type inequalities: �egin{equation*} int_{mathbb{R}^N}|x|^{alpha}|Delta u|^2 dx geq S^{rad}(N,alpha)left(int_{mathbb{R}^N}|x|^{-alpha}|u|^{p^*_{alpha}} dx ight)^{frac{2}{p^*_{alpha}}}, quad uin C^infty_c(mathbb{R}^N), end{equation*} where $Ngeq3$, $4-N<alpha<2$, $p_{alpha}^{*}=frac2(N-alpha)N-4+alpha$. Then we obtain the explicit form of the unique (up to scaling) radial positive solution $U_{lambda,alpha}$ to the weighted fourth-order Hardy (for $alpha>0$) or H'{e}non (for $alpha<0$) equation: �egin{equation*} Delta(|x|^{alpha}Delta u)=|x|^{-alpha} u^{p^*_{alpha}-1},quad u>0 quad mbox{in}quad mathbb{R}^N. end{equation*} %Furthermore, we characterize all the solutions to the linearized problem related to above equation at $U_{1,alpha}$. For $alphaeq0$, it is known the solutions of above equation are invariant for dilations $lambd{a}^{fracN-4+alpha2}u(lambdax)$ but not for translations. However we show that if $alpha$ is an even integer, there exist new solutions to the linearized problem, which related to above equation at $U_{1,alpha}$, that "replace" the ones due to the translations invariance. This interesting phenomenon was first shown by Gladiali, Grossi and Neves [Adv. Math. 249, 2013, 1-36] for the second-order H'{e}non problem. Finally, as applications, we investigate the reminder term of above inequality and also the existence of solutions to some related perturbed equations.
