The sharp quantitative Sobolev inequality for functions of bounded variation

From MaRDI portal





The authors prove that for every \(f\in BV(\mathbb{R}^n)\), the inequality \[ n\omega_n^\frac{1}{n}\|f\|_{L^{n^\prime}}\left(1+\frac{\lambda(f)^2}{C(n)}\right)\leq \int\limits_{\mathbb{R}^n}|\nabla f|\,dx \] holds with some constant \(C(n)\), where \(n^\prime=\frac{n}{n-1}\) and \(\lambda(f)\) is the so-called {functional asymmetry}, a certain quantity which measures how far \(f\) is from being optimal for the isoperimetric inequality \(n\omega_n^\frac{1}{n}\|f\|_{L^{n^\prime}}\leq \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}|\nabla f|\,dx\). A similar inequality with an exponent greater than 2 for \(\lambda(f)^2\) was obtained earlier by \textit{A.\,Cianchi} [J.~Funct.\ Anal.\ 237, No.\,2, 466--481 (2006; Zbl 1110.46020)]. Some developments of this result are also discussed.
