Moreover, it is shown that each of these new inequalities directly implies the classical $L^p$ Sobolev inequality of Aubin and Talenti and that the strongest member of this family is the only affine invariant one among them -- the affine $L^p$ Sobolev inequality of Lutwak, Yang, and Zhang. When $p = 1$, the entire family of new Sobolev inequalities is extended to functions of bounded variation to also allow for a complete classification of all extremal functions in this case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-11-29T12:10:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46E30", "46E35" ], "keywords": [ "sobolev inequality", "sharp sobolev inequalities", "projection averages", "dimensional projections", "extremal functions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
