Suppose $f \in H^1(\mathbb R^2)$, where $H^1$ is the Sobolev space, then how to use this information to bound $\Vert f \Vert_{L^q}$, where $q>2$? It seems like Sobolev embedding, but it's not.

  • @Zixiao_Liu "Also $W^{1,2}$ norm will provides a Hardy Inequality, which can bound weighted norm with singular weights." Are you able to provide some reference for this statement? I'm not saying it's wrong, just don't know why. – Bourne Feb 01 '19 at 04:52

    On Wikipedia, you can easily find: Hardy Inequality origins from 1-dimension integral by parts. Due to Szego Inequality and Riesz Rearrangement inequality, we only need to concern for radial symmetric functions that blows up at the origin. So there would be a suitable weight such that u is weighted integrable on entire $R^2$. More detail I refer to the book"Weighted inequalities of Hardy Type". Maybe I'm wrong about this idea, sorry I didn't recheck it again. – Zixiao_Liu Feb 01 '19 at 07:03

This is immediate from the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality, or from the Sobolev inequality with fractional exponents, which says in particular that $$ \|f\|_{L^q} \leq C\|f\|_{H^s} \leq C'\|f\|_{H^1} , \qquad f\in C^1_0(\mathbb{R}^2), $$ for $2\leq q<\infty$ and $s=1-\frac2q$.
