Integral inequalities with an extended Poisson kernel and the existence of the extremals

Abstract

Abstract In this article, we first apply the method of combining the interpolation theorem and weak-type estimate developed in Chen et al. to derive the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality with an extended Poisson kernel. By using this inequality and weighted Hardy inequality, we further obtain the Stein-Weiss inequality with an extended Poisson kernel. For the extremal problem of the corresponding Stein-Weiss inequality, the presence of double-weighted exponents not being necessarily nonnegative makes it impossible to obtain the desired existence result through the usual technique of symmetrization and rearrangement. We then adopt the concentration compactness principle of double-weighted integral operator, which was first used by the authors in Chen et al. to overcome this difficulty and obtain the existence of the extremals. Finally, the regularity of the positive solution for integral system related with the extended kernel is also considered in this article. Our regularity result also avoids the nonnegativity condition of double-weighted exponents, which is a common assumption in dealing with the regularity of positive solutions of the double-weighted integral systems in the literatures.
