Optimal limiting embeddings for $Δ$-reduced Sobolev spaces in $L^1$ (1202.1133v3)

Abstract: We prove sharp embedding inequalities for certain reduced Sobolev spaces that arise naturally in the context of Dirichlet problems with $L^1$ data. We also find the optimal target spaces for such embeddings, which in dimension 2 could be considered as limiting cases of the Hansson-Brezis-Wainger spaces, for the optimal embeddings of borderline Sobolev spaces $W_0^{k,n/k}$.
