Poincaré-Sobolev inequalities with rearrangement-invariant norms on the entire space (2001.10360v1)

Abstract: Poincar\'{e}-Sobolev-type inequalities involving rearrangement-invariant norms on the entire $\mathbb{R}^n$ are provided. Namely, inequalities of the type $|u-P|{Y(\mathbb{R}^n)}\leq C|\nabla^m u|{X(\mathbb{R}^n)}$, where $X$ and $Y$ are either rearrangement-invariant spaces over $\mathbb{R}^n$ or Orlicz spaces over $\mathbb{R}^n$, $u$ is a $m-$times weakly differentiable function whose gradient is in $X$, $P$ is a polynomial of order at most $m-1$, depending on $u$, and $C$ is a constant independent of $u$, are studied. In a sense optimal rearrangement-invariant spaces or Orlicz spaces $Y$ in these inequalities when the space $X$ is fixed are found. A variety of particular examples for customary function spaces are also provided.
